From Loop to Song: Arrangement, Structure and Synth Layers
Fab breaks the loop and starts arranging, building song structure in Ableton Live and layering a stereo-doubled Trident synth for a darker mood.

A great loop can become a cage. In this episode Fab breaks out of it and starts arranging, using copies, mutes, and variations to build real song structure. He shares his golden rule to never start a session on beat one, along with the practical reason why (beyond the joke), then layers in his freshly-repaired Trident synth, doubling it in stereo and experimenting with tunings and inversions for a darker, more cinematic color. You'll see how he thinks in cycles, intros, and turnarounds to give the track a sense of direction.

In this episode you'll learn:

- How to turn a loop into an arrangement with copies, mutes, and variations
- Why you should never start your session on beat one
- Building intros, sections, and turnarounds
- Layering and stereo-doubling a mono synth for width
- Using tuning and chord inversions to change a track's mood
- Thinking in cycles to keep an arrangement coherent
