Truthfully, SGL, you should really consider taking music production as a more serious hobby, its a bitch when you want to mess around with those loops I know haha I love my little things I make that don't go anywhere but hell, I love my finished tracks even more!
I always start with not having an idea, lol, sounds retarded but its true, if you have an idea, you will make part of a song and then get a mind block and you will most likely forget the project and dump it, and start a new one, as you do with your loops.
I like to make a basic melody first, some nice gated pads with some complex and simple chords, and then work on adding some basic entities into a mix, i.e percussion, kickdrum, crash and some pluck synths and maybe a snare. From there, I would make a plethora of melodies and pads to see which I like best, and then take it from there, but remember that uniqueness is key, heres a little tip to add some art neuvo or however you spell it - Set all your mixer tracks to a Pre-master track, and set that track to another track I usually call FILTER (ALL) , and then route to master, that way I can control the entire mix with a plugin fx filter or whatever I want, and it sounds kinda funky if you use it right!
Here is an Example of some 4 hour beat bashing I made at 2AM last night: [[ LINK REMOVED ]]
SGL, if you have any thing you want clearing up with you, I'd be happy to help mate!
