Thank you, for helping me on my first post down there. I started playing with Ableton Live, connected to a simple midi keyboard (no knob controllers). I used two of the factory loops, and then added some of my own material. It was difficult, and I was a bit clumsy, but I put this house-ish track together:

There were keys linked up to control band passes and queue the cymbal, as well as change the clapping track.

wrong forum, but not bad for a first attempt. what parts were actually yours?

I added the organ, the delay adlibing, the cymbal occasionally, and peformed the switching of the clap loops and controlling the organ loop.

What wasn't mine: the two drum loops that are actually playing together.

i see. next time check out the amateur music producers promotion forum.
