Hope that'll nourish some discussion.
to continue on what has already been said, I'm also more of a nose follower. Although there's often a lot happening in my tracks so i'm never really able to play them in one go. Hence me playing one track at a time and then rearranging them to what I think fits.
I do however have a tendency to simplify a rythmic phrase right before introducing an element. Where i often play with some very little reverb on some melodic instruments before a chord change.
I've also been trying to have far more dynamic tracks. ie not having the same loop repeating over and over while adding substracting things, but more by modifying what's already there. and dropping whole parts, like the drum loop for some bars right after the drop. (hope that makes sense though
)
