Most of the people I think, is making an 4/4 loop !!

Or do you meant 16 steps in 1 bar ?

Kilevox

Yes there are 16 steps in 1 bar.
16 bars = 64 steps

that's very interesting to see all these different techniques.

thanks for the replies!

I think I will change form 1 bar to 2-4 bars, because you can program a lot of more variations within a longer loop.

9 bars usually, but don't get me wrong..i don't make 9 bars of beat progressions. 9 bars are actually reserved for other sounds to interact with eachother.

with ableton has awesome flexibility, sometimes i program quarter note loops and then as i'm track building I continuously expand them to 1/2 , 1 , 2, 4, then 8 bars.

This way I'm not investing a lot of time into stuff I'm not necessarily going to use.
