Dont over do it with percussion

Try to resist the urge and the need that you feel you have to use every drum sample in your library in your track. The fact is that less is more. So dont get too busy with your drums and your lead syth melody simultaneously as it wont will not sound right at all.

So heres a few tips to consider. If your making trance,keep percussion simple and have the main melody synth busy

If percussion is not simple and you want to keep the production going on this track then make melodic lines less busy by not putting melody lines on each hit,adding more of an attack and release ,etc you basically want to slow down the melodic lines ,so there both not fighting to be heard they each need space.

On that same subject of keeping certain sections of your busy or not If your making a soulful deeep house you obviously want a laidback vibe going so having a real busy horn section or string section with funky drum beat would be overkill.
Instead youd want a laid back drum groove with some soulful ambient and spacious pads with a few stabs and subtle counterpoint melodies underneath your main riff.

Thats all i have for you today if anything youd like me to make a tutorial on leave me a message in comments section.
