In terms of a verse / chorus / break structure can you give your thoughts regarding the following track.
The vocals I took from a sample pack, I have more verse vocals to add.
How long should the intro / verse be?
About double what I have here do you think?
Then should the next lot of verse after the chorus be the same length as the intro verse?
This is just bare bones of a track, I want to get structure right first.
SECONDLY - are the vocals good enough to bother finishing this track? Would you layer them etc in the chorus or leave more or less as is?
Arrangement can take time to get right - you just have to listen back to the track (not in your sequencer as you will feel the need to tweak stuff)
then see how it feels - if you feel theres an extra 16 bars in there making things boring then get rid
listen to tracks of a similar nature for ideas also
