Coaching notes
- Introduce a high-pass filter breakdown around the 9-minute mark to create more dynamic tension.
- Experiment with a 'wrong-foot' transition (unexpected genre shift) to add a layer of surprise.
- Ensure the mid-range EQ doesn't become too cluttered during the 3-way layering at 07:45.
- Introduce more rhythmic variation to contrast the melodic density.
- Use subtle FX (delays/reverbs) to bridge transitions even more creatively.
- Experiment with a 'surprise' track outside the core genre to test listener engagement.
- Continue to explore subtle genre shifts to add even more depth to the narrative.
- Experiment with slightly longer tension-building phases for even greater impact.
- Incorporate a few more unexpected 'surprise' moments to further elevate crowd engagement.
