ok you have your minute long intro.. if you have a new idea it might be the change up/drop you need to throw in after 16 or 32 bars of this bassline/sample thing you got going on here - or the new idea might be a new tune if it doesnt fit what you already have cooking...
sometimes these little bassline/drum/sample dittys are just that - not complete tunes - just little sketches and textures you had happening in your mind at the time - good for practice and maybe have their place in a mix somewhere but don't spend too much time chasing a deadend if thats how you see it...
this isn't bad - a good approximation of what a dubstep tune is I guess - but I've definitly heard way too many songs with this same exact bassline/vibe..
keep it moving... thats what the save option is for...
the real tunes make themselves

there's two tunes on the myspace in the link posted in my signature...
one's an incomplete tune I just "finished" but needs some re-doing in the mixing department (some slight clipping by the end) and I need to cop a better original (higher-quality) source for the samples I used to clear up said mixing/clipping issues.. this track definitly started as a dead-end but I kind of backed away from it for awhile and came back with a fresh perspective after a day or two and it became more of a "tune" i.e. a few different elements that "go somewhere" and end up sounding somewhat musical - the one I'm talking about here is 'satyam shivam'
and the second tune is an older bit from my computer back home - airy summer vibes - and again more of a complete musical statement than most of the shit I usually produce --- i.e. 8 bar loops that go nowhere but sound ok as they are...
both could arguably use a retooling... a tune is never really done until its pressed... I never really consider anything finished and I'm rarely satisfied but you have to know the point where you are just banging your head against a brick wall with a beat and leave it at that...
its good to have lots of unfinished material laying around - just keep making new tunes until you're forced to finish one for some sort of deadline... think of the unfinished one's as ideas in your arsenal waiting to come to final fruition..
