    Treating music production like a workout is a great life hack. Results may not come in an instant, but we’re getting better in each day.

    @@Embrrzz this is my experience and a lot of musicians are strugling with this too. It really takes a lot of time and effort to make a good track which lasts longer that a minute and the only reason why I'd go for a 1 min track is just simply to check one or another technique/idea. However I'd never release such a small peace. Anyway it's all subjective feel free just to ignore me, however I can't remember any good song which lasts just a minute... just like in a sex ;)

    @@HOLLASOUNDS hi mate! Sure, I have an idea on how to arrange music and deal with the loops. Approach you mentioned is valid, but however it depends on a lot of things, genre/style for example. I saw a lot of videos over here, like “how to exit a 4bar loop” and sure I had the same problem before. Btw, sometimes you may want to remove some elements after X bars, not just add more
