At what point do you decide a track is finished? How do you find the final polish for production?
I've got a method for getting from a loop to a full arrangement, but the last 10% is where I stall.
I feel like I get stuck on that polish, the small details that make a difference. I've often collaborated with much more talented producers than me and the way they find the small details in the arrangement or production always wows me and I feel like I just get stuck there. My tracks end up feeling "good enough" but don't give me the "oh yeah this is it" feeling.
How do you decide it's done? What are the key elements to finish up that final polish? How do you actually find those moments that matter the most?
I write DnB, but I'm curious how people in other genres handle it.
