RE: Break stuff...
from 20 seconds? yeah. I mean..jeez. that would be EASY PEASY to lengthen. you got what...4 bars? is that what it was? I didnt count..but
first you could just loop that. say 16 bars. make sure thats interesting and has enough going on to be solid but not so much that its "busy". People dont like busy usually (believe me. I get that a lot)
then...heres what i do. just repeat that...for say 3 minutes. and start punching stuff in and out. when you find something you like, mute or delete the parts that dont belong in that specific section of the song. From there you just need good changes, fills, etc. breakdowns work well...maybe a new bass, flyin solo with just the kick and a vocal..that sort of thing.
I mean..serious..to go from 20 seconds to at least 3 minutes is NO PROB!!! after that it gets a little sketchy, but
