ADD THE BASS

Now the groove is worked out, it's time to find the hook or riff to engage people and form the main musical idea of the track.
LAY IT OUT
With the groove and hook both complete now, we have the bare minimum required to lay out an entire arrangement, centred around breakdowns and drops.
