Can anyone out there give advice to people on how to prevent a beat sounding repetitive.
Personally i add small sounds to various parts of the track to give it the feeling that its moving on. I also change up the drum pattern slighly when it goes from verse to chorus.
Are there any other things that can be done? A lot my beats are extremely repetitive but i dont sort it out until i have the vocals recorded. Once the vocals are recorded i can add drop outs, change the percussion, add effects etc.
In my opinion a beat is called a beat because its in a raw state... a beat doesn't become a track until the vox are recorded and what used 2 be the beat is finished, and by finished i mean effects, drop outs, switch ups etc etc.
Post your techniques or ideas on how to keep a track from sounding repetitive.
EDIT - I think this topic could prove useful to people starting off and who have had reviews saying "your tracks are repetitive" but no one leaves advice on how to resolve this.
Cheers
