COMPOSITION
Sketch a full arrangement on a timeline
Drag blocks across a timeline to sketch an entire track's arrangement before opening a DAW. See the whole shape before committing to a single sound.
Try it
- Block out intro, build, drop and breakdown as coloured segments on the timeline, no audio yet.
- Compare the total length of your drops against your breakdowns. Most tracks lean one way.
- Move one section earlier or later and see if the overall shape still makes sense.
What to listen for
Planning the shape before the sound stops you from writing sixteen bars of drop because it felt good in the moment, and forgetting the track needs to actually go somewhere after.
This tool is one part of the picture. Electronic Music Production for Beginners covers the rest.
