Coaching notes

- Consider a very brief 'silence' or atmospheric break to reset the listener's ear after 20 minutes of heavy groove.
- Experiment with slightly more aggressive EQ cuts to create more dramatic 'reveals' of incoming tracks.
- Maintain the current level of EQ precision.
- Experiment with slightly more varied track structures to avoid predictability.
- Use the high-pass filter more aggressively for dramatic tension releases.
