Advice for extending songs Intro & Outro.

Hi
I've searched the forum, maybe I'm using the wrong keywords.

Would anyone here have advice on how to extend songs.

I have some great songs with a 3 min length and no solid intro nor outro beats.

Is there a way I can make a loop or use a loop to extend these songs and use them in mixes.

Thank you

bring in 1 or 2 elements gradualy

example

start with the drums (INTERESTING DRUMS are important here not the standard kick snare hats combo) add some stabs on off beats etc till the first low point in your track...excelent example is zedd- dovregubben

when ending an outtro loop a couple elements and slowly take away everything else and end with drums

Agreed, if you have it slap it in Cubase and have a play. If you don't have Cubase something cheap and simple like Wavelab would also be OK or Cool Edit.
