sometimes i write out a couple of big breaks in slicer
sometimes i make a hand full and play with their order
im overly repetative with instruments
but i generally put everything in seperate tracks
Heheheh, i kinda do excactely the same thing, bit of messing around with a couple of breaks in slicer, till i have one or two 16 step pattrns of breaks, then i start makining variations on the previous pattern etc, and befor i know it i have half a minute of song, then i start fucking about with effects on them or pitch changes, from then on i start to build up kind of a song.
When you make it in this way it is also the easiest to edit your song when your not pleased with it, imho.
Made a screen capture of how i excactely make it.

I find it easy to edit later this way.

im having a really hard time actually getting past the initial idea for tracks anymore
i cant write synths for shit
and i just cant ad anything melodic without sounding really terrible or super repetative
i actually have had a hard time with that recently myself, despite years of making super melodic idm and a classical music background.
i usually lump that problem into inspiration. you can't force a melody, it's something that has to just come to you.
despite trying every production program imaginable, and despite the hate fruity gets, i absolutely love it. it's very user friendly, and it comes with a fuckload of tutorials that actually go through a song file with you step by step and show you how everything is done, how to use different effects, and gives you a lot of really good tips.
and to contribute to the how people write their tracks thing - ive noticed i no longer have a standard. i more or less just make a few loops that i really like, string them together in sort of a skeleton of a song, and then micro manage the fuck out of it, re edit the patterns, make a ton of new patterns based off the base patterns i already made, and write about 8000 percussive parts. lately i've actually kind of turned to rendering each piece to a wav file, or grouping certain bits together and rendering that to a wav and doing the final mix down live in ableton. i feel like it has a more natural feel to it, being recorded live as opposed to being sequenced out and perfected in fruity. plus it makes the work i have to do to put together live sets that much easier.
