What do y'all do when your stuck on one sequence?

[head shots101]

Found this dope ass russian sample. Got a nice little four bar loop in it but I can't find anything else in it. I usually scrap shyt like this but this shyt is pretty dope ...well at least I think it is lol

What do y'all do in a scenario like this?

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

Use different Filter-Layers and drop in/out filters. (I use 4)

And make own melodies on top of the sample, will make the beat sound less repetitive.

That's where I suck at

reverse it and rechop it,

copy it and pitch it up, make another copy and pitch it down. chop em up from there. make a nice melody using all 3 pitches

You can take the loop you like for one pattern.

Build some basic percussion around it.

Take that same loop, and slice it up on the pads to chop it. You will already have some percussion going to see if the chops mesh well with your drum pattern.

You can repeat this step again if you want to have 3 patterns from the same loop.

Take another part of the song. Although you said you only found that 4 bar loop, go take another part anyway, and chop it up like I mentioned above. See how it meshes with the flow of your other patterns.

Now you got a few pattern variations. It should be easier to build the rest of the beat from there

Save and revisit another day....no need to waste time/force anything! If it ain't working it ain't working... comeback to it

That’s what I’ve been doing lately. Revisiting some of my unfinished beats throughout the years

This is big. I left creating music alone for years now I'm finishing beats I started in 2013.

Just let the loop rock


It may sound repetitive in that form but if used for a song, verses with hooks placed in can give it an entirely different identity. A dope infectious loop >>>

Truth be told there are several techniques as seen from the above replies. There isn't 1 right answer to this. You could chop the loop differently. You could filter but whatever path you take will make the track different. It really depends upon the sample being used.
