Making the body of a song, any tips?

[acidsamurai]

I'm having a hard time understanding how to make the body of a song. I understand the basics such as structure, effects, EQ, etc. but I don't get how to organize my sounds or if I am doing it properly. How do you guys get that really chopped sound (like excision or datsik)? Would I mainly tweak the hell out of an an envelope on a single VST, Record the synths and sounds I make in a VST then chop them up, or add a new VST for every sound? I just can't grasp how to make the really quick, distorted, flowing sounds.

Hahahahaha I thought this was going to be a nice thread on Pad work and chord progression.

Grasp the idea from that, re-sample then repeat. ( It's all tedious chop up work in the end )
Even though the sounds are pretty messed up, they sort of follow a general key of song, usefull tip.

I don't like to play with audio so I usually use a new VST per sound. I may also add a lot of modulation to make the same sound, sound different, but everything in MIDI. I do this because I find myself always going back and, if you do that with audio, you have to repeat everything.

However, recording+chopping looks pretty valid too and it is an experiment I want to make someday.

Working with audio over VST saves on cpu work alot, but your machine is capable go for it.
