Back "in the day" many of us benefitted from this album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqhFvITV7kM. The tracks are listed a little ways down in the comments. While the guide doesn't explain how to make each of the examples in a step-by-step manner, the track listings are somewhat descriptive of how they were made. For example,
