Finding new ideas
So how do we get ideas for compositions in the first place? Can we use Logic? Will Logic give us ideas? Well it might. It's not my favorite way to start but it undoubtedly works for some. If you are constructing loop based techno or dance music, then using sample CDs with prerecorded material is the obvious way to go. However, this will not work very well if you've been given a specific brief for a commercial project and you are being paid for it. Other people's licks are not guaranteed to fit the bill. Even if the style of music requires loops and grooves it may well be quicker to invent and record your own. The result is going to be far more original for a start.
