Wow, great post.. thanks.

more on-topic:
I'm a musician (bass player) coming from a traditional rock 
background who is attempting to create psytrance style tracks.. 
(reason why I'm using Logic..) but jeesh, I'm having trouble breaking 
out of my traditional method of songwriting. Frankly, I don't know 
how to build a track, I can come up with some okay basslines 
(obviously) and basic percussion, but where do you go from there? how 
do you build a track? how do you decide on what sounds will work? etc.
Very challenging.

If anything, this process has expanded my thinking about 
melody/sound, and it's starting to affect my bass playing in my 
punk/garage/pop band. Guitarist/songwriter: "Ed, the note(s) you're 
playing are not even in the chord I'm on, but hm.. still sounds 
good.."
