Yeh I just got glitch yesterday and am astonished at how quickly it can dress up some loops.
I had a simple 8 hit (1 bar) closed hat loop and after running it through glitch it sounded like I had about 5 or 6 different hats going at once. Really cool little machine, thanks whoever recommended it!

Processing a highly structured and complex pattern of sensory input as a unified percept of "music" is probably one of the most elaborate features of the human brain.....understanding how music is perceived and how it may elicit intense sensations is far from being understood.

Can you post an example of a loop you've made?

When making a track dont think of any sized loop, make loops and whatever length you want and combine e.g: 1 bar hihat shuffle, 4 bar sidestick loop, 8 bar minimal loop etc and layer them up, each with variations thrown in.

One little tip that i can give if using ableton (though it can prob be done in other hosts as well.)

Using clip envelopes, automate parameters subtlely to give variation. But unlink the loop brace for the automated parameter and set it at an uneven size. Like one bar and a 16th. This means that in a 1 bar loop, the automated parameter will go round and round for ages without ever being in sync with the actual loop.

I've explained this really badly, hope you understand

See I just want to add as much as some people may read the title of this thread and think its a newbie question, it still stimulates people to think and theres a lot of really cool little tips in here.

For anyone who thinks I post a lot of "useless" threads I just wanted to say that.

And for everyone else who had some cool things to add thanks!! I appreciate it.

I wanted to discuss something which i may have triggered together with Robbie rox and probably many before us. Robbie roxs last post made me think.

Already several times I have been told off or worse insulted for asking questions. I see people are getting vexed already by some of robbies posts. Im not a complete newbie to music and understand the basics but sometimes reading a book or experimentation can only go so far. Sometimes someone further along the learning curve breaking it down for you can flip a switch in your mind and forever sort out something you have been trying to learn for a year in my case compression. Due to me asking it promted kit to post a very helpful tutorial.

Us forum noobs do try to learn from manuals and books but this forum seems to be best source so far!

I myself have seen posts I can help with and in posting it made me go back over what I knew but had stopped using etc.

So what is the big deal with people who maybe don’t know as much as you asking a question you do not have to answer on a forum designed to share production knowledge?

SO

Newbie questions Vs Experienced producers getting annoyed share your thoughts!!!!

My thought is that this should be a new thread as it is entirely unrelated to the thread, but as a suggestion, I wouldn't bother actually making it a new thread.

It's not how much you know - it's how you approach things. Just like any other "social" interaction, there will be reputations, wording, attitude, experience, interpretation, group dynamics, and other factors that determine how people are likely to respond. And not everyone will get along. It's life.
