Checking an arrangement before delivery

Musical content

• Do chords and bass follow the same progression, not just the same key?
• Is the drum meter compatible with the project?
• Do bass approaches connect properly between blocks?
• Do parts leave room for melody and register changes?
• Are intended rests actually present?

Arrangement

• Does every block start on the intended beat?
• Are overlaps intentional?
• Did source editing change a block’s length?
• Are variations independent copies rather than internal repeats?
• Do piece boundaries enclose the exact form you want?

Playback and export

• Is the loop count correct? Zero means infinite.
• Are Mute and Solo correct for MIDI too?
• Are track levels balanced at moderate listening volume?
• Have you saved under a recognisable project name?
• Are exported repeats represented by actual blocks?
• Have you checked the MIDI in its destination application?

Keep a “before revision” version and a “ready for export” version. You can experiment with voicing, density or form without losing a result that already works.
