Coaching notes
- Monitor mid-range accumulation when layering three or more elements.
- Introduce more organic percussion to provide a textural break from heavy synthesis.
- Experiment with longer 'silence' gaps to further weaponize the tension/release dynamic.
- Refine mid-range EQ during dense three-deck layering to maintain clarity.
- Experiment with longer atmospheric bridges to further enhance the impact of the drops.
- Continue exploring the intersection of halftime and breakbeat rhythms.
