I hope it's ok to resurrect this thread. I'm new to the forum, and to Logic.
I've had the same challenge when composing using loops for composing. It seems that the process is geared towards vamp type compositions in one key (not to sound critical, I love that type of music.)
The biggest challenge for me, is figuring out how to incorporate sections using loops in a single key, then going to a different section which would have more chord/key changes to it.
For example; let's say I have an A section which consists of 16 measures of music in A minor. Instrumentation is Bass, Drums, Guitar, and Keys. I'm using all audio loops for this section.
Now, I want to go to a B section which consists of the following chord changes: Dmaj7 (1 measure), C#-7b5 (1 measure), Cmaj7 (1 measure), B-7b5 (1 measure).
Since I want to 1; Change the harmonic rhythm of the B section and 2, use more chord changes, I'm going to have to sequence this section using all midi, correct?
So, my question is. Does it make sense to have different sections going from audio to midi and back using the same instrumentation? If so, how does one maintain continuity (in terms of the sound/feel of the instruments) ?
