I need to come and write more specific stuff about the music styles I choose for this project (mainly ambient), but inside of the Ambient is many other styles, so here are some of the styles I have lined up for this music project:
AMBIENT
ELECTRONIC
TRIP_HOP
INDUSTRIAL
DUBSTEP
ETHNIC
DANCE (including Goa / Psy)
FLUTE PROJECT (a little project for a flute player ;)
For now, I need to organise these samples and start working on them
Next more info ;)

Track Structure Resume
Expanding on this, it is challenging for some people to understand what I am really talking about.
That's why I like resumes!
It's where you read the important things at once and dont need to go into the whole story.
This is the resume of the Track Structure.
1- Drums
2- Background
3- Kaossilator
Drums
1 drum loop (64 or 128 bars)These drum loops all include percussion and were created using the software program.
* Read more about the drums here
http://wavdj.blogspot.com/2009/12/chapter-4-drum-loops.html
Background
This consists of a sound or noise looping at the same tempo as the drums.This background is totally independent of the drums and can be used with other drums (how far the drums are from the exact bpm)
Because this part of the WAVDJ machine does not loop, I have to import the sounds into Ableton and then place them at the same BPM, include more sounds, add voices, and loop the sound for around 10 minutes to provide enough space for improvisations.
* Read more about the FX part of the WAVDJ here, where the background loops are stored
http://wavdj.blogspot.com/2009/12/chapter-8-sound-fx.html
* Read about the backgrounds here
http://wavdj.blogspot.com/2010/01/chapter-14-background-sounds.html
Kaossilator
I pre-choose a group of 6-7 sounds that are similar to the background music playing.Now I just start creating :)
Having the 2 parts of the wavdj (drums & FX - background sounds) and the kaossilator working at the same time, I can take sounds off and put them on again, through the mixer of the wavdj
Many things have changed, and new ideas have emerged since I started writing this blog.
I created two tracks in Ableton with no drums and imported them to WavDJ. Then, I made two drum loops to accompany the tracks, but this time, I used the WavDJ software to produce the drums.
Questions ??
Next, I will post a detailed Zoom of these three elements and explain exactly how I am working and what I am doing with the WaveDJ and the Kaossilator.

Track structure (part 2)
NO BASS
After some experiments with bass
The track's structure is minimal, when I drop the bass in the track, most part of the other small sounds are inaudible. I don't know why, but this could be due to the frequency of the sound
Another thing that put me off the bass was the minimal feeling of the tracks changing totally, and I was forced to have a melody
Currently, I am selecting the appropriate sounds for the Kaossilator

Hi Friends
The reason I am contacting you now is that I have some tracks nearly ready, and I would like to show them to you and listen to your opinions.
Who's best to do that ?? YOU!
I know it can be painful, but I can handle some earplugs just in case :)
Meanwhile, this was intended to draw your attention and keep you involved in the project's progress.
Until then, please keep reading, as I am close to the end of the first round of tracks.
Speak soon and thank you for paying some attention to the weird shit I do :)

Him and Her !!
Kaossilator
Now I have the background sounds in the buttons (by now I have 18 backgrounds)
I have six different drum loops assigned to the six drum buttons. This makes:
18 background sounds
6 drum loops
= 3 background sounds for each drum loop, so that I can change the background sound 3 times in 1 track.
They are all at the same 110BPM.
Putting all together and start to play....
After I have both playing at the same time, I start the kaossilator
As I go along with the sounds and loops, I can adjust the mixer on the machine (WavDJ) and toggle the drum loop, background sound, or Kaossilator
This helps prevent the same sounds from looping for too long.
The kaossilator
I have been constructing this track with a vision of an Industrial Ambient style, so I have been looking for Industrial sound loops for the background. I made the Drum Loops sound Industrial, too, but the sounds of the Kaossilator
My Drum loops are a bit too (breaks) even at 110BPM.
(Later I will write about the Track structure)
This explanation of the track construction is the result of my first experience; I will likely modify aspects such as the structure of the tracks, tempo, or other elements.
1- Background sounds

Project Start - Background Sounds
Background Sounds.
As part of WAVDJ (software), I used to modify the sound effects (background) in the program.
To obtain samples and loops, I search the web and find some good resources for free loops and samples.
I found numerous free sample and loop websites, but it's challenging to find the specific type of sounds I'm looking for.
I did download some perfect loops (industrial) and I will make a page just with links to mention these websites.
I have been searching since I started this DADA Project (wish will have a different name for various reasons)
I take the Background sound (loops) to Ableton and I stretch it, as long as I want, and I can add other sounds or voices in the background as I change the tempo (bpm) of the sounds for they cam match with the drum loops of the machine, as I dont have synchronisation possibilities on this machines.
I am doing the drum loops at 110BPM, so I want the loops I am doing in Ableton to come as 110BPM and I can stretch the loops for 30 min.. This is because the EFFECTS BUTTON do not loop the sound.
(The only looping part in wavdj is the drum machine.) wish to repeat the pattern over and over until I stop them.
So, here is the first job... get nice loops and make long backgrounds in Ableton, next, save as a WAV file and upload to the program software (*first image)
Each sound I upload into those spaces will be playing in the (wavdj machine buttons) (*second image)
Backgrounds on'e go.)
