Escaping loop hell: from an 8-bar loop to a full song
To turn a loop into a song, decide on sections (intro, verse, chorus, bridge, outro), copy the loop across a full song length, then take parts away so each section sounds different. The traditional way is the subtractive arrangement method Ableton's Making Music describes; the AI-assisted way plans the sections and builds them with dropouts and variation you can edit. Both, side by side.
