This mostly boils down to the fact that I don't have something I like to call "track vision." I don't foresee what I want my end result to be, and because of that I just mess around with sounds and parameters and presets hoping that I will accidentally find what I want. So what I really want to know from more seasoned producers is this: to what extent can you really know what you're going for right from the beginning? Is this just part of the process, to pour hours and hours into unfinished tracks, just hoping you stumble on something?

Acid 303 sound. Argueably one third of EDM. Was an accident by roland. They wanted to make a bass guitar [TB303] to accompany guitar players. Instead the 303 spawned a whole new section of EDM.
Edit: Actually, it was an accident of who ever first discovered the 303 made that sound. But same princple nonetheless.

At least for me the basic creative process is all done in my head before anything get's done.
Then all of that is expounded upon over weeks and sometimes months to reach the finished product.

well the key is to think in two halfs by that i mean place greater time on kicks,bass,loops and parts you may need first make sure they all work and sit well. then start plotting and mapping the good stuff just pick on your favorite synth first and find whats excites you into making the sounds you want and take it from thier.
