Go deeper into a chosen artist's creative process and investigate specific production techniques that they used for a song or album that you were inspired by.

Experiment with multiple newly discovered techniques and add your own artistic flair. Spend a considerable chunk of time on this, this process shouldn't be rushed.

Pull ideas together to form a cohesive foundation for the track. Begin to nurture this creative spark and build upon your foundation by adding more elements, but try to keep it minimal at first. Ensure the foundations are solid, avoid building your house on sand.

Save synth patches before you continue or note down parameters where necessary. Spending hours trying to replicate a lost sound is aggravating. By doing this you're ensuring you have full control and freedom to change anything later.

Be conscious of structure so you don't get caught in a loop of adding more and more elements that have no real purpose. You may already have a sense of how the track could progress as this can often evolve out of the initial idea naturally.

Build with compositional ideas that encourage progression. Add different chords or counter melodies, new tonal content or textures, and change parameters for evolving sounds.

In order to fully realize your artistic vision, begin adding the extra details and unique moments that help complete it, like automation, effects and subtle compositional elements such as Foley. Add minor variation in the recorded material to increase listener retention.

Achieve your desired balance between the audio tracks to create the strongest mix possible. Add EQ and compression where necessary. Remember to use reference tracks and leave at least 6dBFS of headroom for mastering.

The main purpose of mastering is to ensure consistency across all systems so the mix sounds great no matter where it's played. This is also a chance to enhance certain sonic characteristics with subtle EQ and compression, and boost the overall volume of the track.

Plan how you will promote the release of your track. This could include things like revealing snippets on social media, or creating a music video. It all depends on your budget, timeframe and resourcefulness.

Execute your release strategy and try to build up an audience beforehand. After all, if you're releasing your music to no one, what's the point? It would be like constructing a house atop a secluded mountain, refusing to advertise it and expecting it to sell.
