Build ups not sounding energetic enough
Hi there!
I’m having a hard time making my buildups hit harder before the drop. It feels like there’s no energy or anticipation, and the transition into the drop ends up sounding weak.
I’ve tried using risers, drum rolls, and even cutting the kick right before the drop, but it’s still not giving me that explosive impact I’m going for. I’m producing a festival-style big room track, so I really want the buildup to get people hyped.
How do you create that massive tension in your buildups? Any tricks or techniques for layering sounds or arranging them to really push the energy?
