Ambient Background Texture

Professional sound designers use extreme stretching to create a background layer for their music. The most common technique is to then pump this sound via side-chaining to the kick.

Know Your Key

It's easy to know what the resulting tempo and key is at any time during your exploration by paying attention to the top bar. From there, you can export the sample and work on your track in the new key and tempo.
