Coaching notes
- Practice more aggressive mid-range EQ cuts during fast transitions.
- Experiment with longer atmospheric breakdowns to create more contrast.
- Utilize more subtle FX layering to add depth to the percussive sections.
- Experiment with slightly more complex EQ layering during the mid-set to contrast with the directness of the finale.
- Maintain the high-pass filter tension for 4-8 bars longer to further heighten the final drop's impact.
- Consider a 'fake-out' drop earlier in the closing segment to play with crowd expectations before the true anthem.
