Are there tips for helping me out doing an arrangement ?
I got a problem of only producing some tight loops mostly couple of bars.

Now I wanna learn how to mix / arrange a song. been trying it for while but still ain't happening for me.

Main problem is that I just love a vibe and never really look in to a total arrangement. So I just create a certain loop with a vibe but when is Done I go crazy on how to implement this vibe in to a good souding arrangement.

Any tips ?

THNX in advanced

Make one seq for each part of the song (intro, verse, chorus, etc.) and then go to SONG MODE and arrange the seqs in the order you want. Then convert the song to one whole seq again.
