yeah you can try only using the sample as the hook and have somthing else in the verses but with the same bass pattern as the hook. Also put in some high pitched notes in now and then to change it up. Thats what i do when i find just a short hot sample

This message was as much for me as it was for you, I've got a one bar piano loop loaded now.One
