In this video, I show you my quick workflow for taking a simple loop and turning it into a finished house song. I start by creating the loop on hardware, then I record it into Ableton Live. From there, I arrange the song, add some crescendos and transition tricks, make two different breakdowns, as well as a B section, an outro, and finish it off with some rough mixing! I hope you enjoy the process as much as I do. Peace.
