Coaching notes
- Use more aggressive EQ filtering to create tension during transitions.
- Introduce melodic elements earlier in the blend to signal the coming change.
- Vary the length of transitions to keep the listener engaged.
- Experiment with adding FX (delay/reverb) on percussion to create depth.
- Use high-pass filters more creatively to create tension before a new track's kick enters.
- Look for tracks with more distinct melodic motifs to add narrative 'landmarks' to the set.
- Experiment with shorter, more impactful transitions to contrast with the long blends.
