Hey there Phil, what would be the common techniques and tips to have more tension in your song, as it builds up from the start?br
br
Especially in music like progressive house/tech even trance styles?br
br
I want to build a really slow progressing song, but I want to keep the listeners attention without sounding too stale and boring after a while, what are some techniques that would create that 4/8 bar loop building up nicely.br
br
I know that held synths or hi strings are used commonly but what else can I do?br
br
[url]Paolo Mojo - 1983 (Eric Prydz Remix) - YouTube this is a great example for that, I wonder what are your thoughts on tension and anticipationbr
