Subject: song transitions

From: "spaceanimals" <rainbowjimmy@...>

The Space Animals have been reviewing our new material. Sad to say
there'almost no AN1X on the album-mostly I'm using it as a
controller. I've got this idea to use synth sounds for song
transition. For example use a filter sweep like a drum fill to move
from the verse to the chorus. What tricks do you use? What kind of
sounds can I use instead of the traditional crash to start a new
section? How about some tricks to build up the choruses? We're
keeping the mix fairly sparse focusing on the vocals and the rhythm
so there's not a lot of room for screaming solos. We're using
acoustic drum loops. How do I fit my electronica leanings into a
garage band format?

Thanks in advance.
