RE: SA - I need help on ideas

Few things you could try:

  1. The off beat synth stab that starts at 0:15 could be automated to increase the cut off of the filter. Apply some distortion or overdrive if not satisfied. And increase the reverb gradually till the drop.
  2. The bass that is introduced at 1:00 should also have the cutoff technique applied as in #1. This makes is dirtier and loses the bottom end at the drop.
  3. The melody line you introduce at 1:00; there you could try to hold the last note just 2 bars before the end. And then increase the pitch of that note, so the sound runs up.



    Just before the drop a silence with only the tails of the reverbs on the items might work as well.
