Try Adding Vocals if You're Stuck in a Loop!
When working on songs, I often find myself getting stuck at simple loops, struggling to break through just adding more elements to them. However, I've found that if I add vocals to a loop, it can often help me "hear" what needs to come next! Today I'll show you my preferred way to add vocals to a loop as of late, using the SP-404MKII. However, keep in mind that there are almost endless ways to add vocals to a track in progress! Let me know if this helps you out at all, and enjoy the video :)
