Why you should be using repetition in your songs





We all like to hear a good song whether its a rock song, edm song or classical music. One thing is certain each memorable song we love to sing along to in the car or hum at the mall or at work. Maybe a song got stuck in your head while driving to work and you have been thinking about that same song all day long. Maybe you were at a underground club and heard some of the best trance songs in your life. You then go home  but, there is this one song that still has been playing over and over in your head. 

Repetition

Why does this happen it happens because of  repetition. In music composers utilize many forms of repetition and variations of repetition to get the listener hooked to a song and it works. Once you are hooked to the song you want to buy the album,the single you buy future albums.Eventually you fall in love with the  band and see them in concert. Better yet your song that you produce goes viral and you sell multiple copies or back then you'd go platinum. Now a days maybe youd do well on itunes or spotify you get the point.

Memorable

The point here is if you want your tracks to be memorable you have to use repetition. I have put together a simple video to show you different forms of repetition. I hope you watch it and when finished watching you finally understand how important repetition is in music.







As always if you need some ableton trance packs for cheap to make some of your own memorable trance or house music  you can get them here.
