This album is almost entirely synergy:

the only apologies radlibs owes is to all the untalented chumps he's psyched out by being measures of magnitude more awesome than them. Insincere apologies.

that synergy is worth many times the mc808, depending on the repairs. Super rare, but probably a bear to ship.

Im not entering, but I just want to say i love you and everything you do, Mr Radlib.

Raspberry PI can also run all the required software you are looking for.

I'm a bit ignorant, but could you describe what you mean by a "hook?" Is that like a riff? Do you tend to have one riff going throughout, perhaps with breaks, but coming back, or do you let it evolve and morph into something else?

Also, I'm curios if people tend to use multiples of 4 bars strictly, including intros. For example would you let an intro build over 4 bars and then have the tune kick in, or would you be happy with a 1 bar intro, or maybe or one bar solo, then add some perc (hi hat?) for a bar then into tune?

I know there's no actual rules, but I curios to hear some guidelines.

Yea its something that I want to convey in the song. Ive really done songs in any method youve described. its basically whatever the songs requires/i can do/ what i can get away with.

I usually do everything at first in live mode, and try to come up with the hook first. Then i scroll down and start making a skeleton of the song structure and add what elements I think it needs to stay interesting, fills bridges variations on the theme etc. Transpose this section.. change the instrument slightly to add tension or make it more emotional. I then listen to the song over and over and if im not sick of it or bored in any section then its a good one.

If you do it fast enough it makes a neat droney sound.

you can also mix sample voices in software before you use those channels, or just use a low bitrate codec to render computer produced music.
