Locate the Loop Library.

STRUCTURE OF A SONG
A well-structured song typically follows a pattern that keeps listeners engaged.
BASIC SONG STRUCTURE
Intro: The opening section, often instrumental, sets the mood of the song.
Verse: The part where the song’s story begins. It introduces the lyrics and builds up to
the chorus.
Pre-Chorus (Optional): A short section that builds anticipation before the chorus.
Chorus: The catchiest and most memorable part of the song, usually containing the main
message.
Bridge: A contrasting section that provides variety and leads back into the final chorus.
Outro: The closing section, which may fade out, slow down, or repeat elements from earlier in
the song.
USING LOOPS TO BUILD A SONG
Use melody loops in the intro to set the mood.
Add drum and bass loops in the verse to create a groove.
Use a pre-chorus loop with rising intensity to build anticipation.
Emphasize the chorus by layering multiple loops and increasing energy.
Include a bridge with unique sounds or effects to add variety.
Conclude with a fade-out or simplified loop arrangement in the outro.
ARRANGING AND LAYERING LOOPS
Once loops are added to a project, they can be cut, rearranged, and layered to create a full song
structure.
