The rhythm section, especially the kick and bass, was critical in grounding the track. I used sidechain compression on the bass to allow the kick to cut through cleanly, giving the beat a steady, driving pulse. Each percussive element was carefully EQ’d and placed in the mix to ensure a tight, cohesive rhythm that keeps the energy flowing. For the synths and pads, I added a touch of stereo widening to create an expansive feel, allowing the track to envelop the listener and evoke the “beautiful moment” described in the lyrics.
