Coaching notes
- Use the mid-EQ more aggressively to carve out space for incoming percussive elements.
- Incorporate tracks with more distinct 'hooks' to create memorable moments.
- Experiment with 64-bar blends to further lean into the hypnotic nature of the genre.
- Use subtle automation on delay/reverb sends to add depth to static percussive loops.
- Experiment with layering field recordings or organic textures during the final atmospheric phase.
- Consider a slightly more dramatic EQ sweep to signal the final transition more clearly.
