Interesting! In a way, I was already using those techniques but I was going by feeling. I might just go back to making a bunch of random patterns then using the ones that fit.
Wow, there are people out there charging struggling music producers huge amounts of money per month to learn this stuff when all they really need is that book, which can get from Ableton for about $40 AUD, or less. That very technique is one of the secret techniques I paid good money to learn from one of these people who was going to change my life, for huge money per month. But it was all right there in that book-which I already had but never read. Geez! 🤷♂️
