🔊 1. Tempo (BPM) • Most EDM: 120 – 150 BPM • For your track Sonic Boom: 👉 128 BPM (perfect for festival / big room energy) ⸻ 🥁 2. Core Elements • Kick drum → strong, steady (4-on-the-floor) • Bassline → deep + punchy • Synths → bright, energetic, sometimes aggressive • Claps/Snares → on beats 2 & 4 • Hi-hats → fast and rhythmic • FX → risers, impacts, sweeps (build excitement) ⸻ 🎛️ 3. Song Structure (Typical EDM) Use this format for Sonic Boom: 1. Intro (0:00 – 0:30) • Soft synth + build atmosphere 2. Build-Up (0:30 – 1:00) • Rising tension (snare roll, risers) 3. Drop (1:00 – 1:30) 🔥 • Heavy bass + main melody • This is the “SONIC BOOM” moment 4. Breakdown (1:30 – 2:00) • Calm, emotional, vocal or piano 5. Second Build-Up 6. Final Drop (Biggest energy) 7. Outro ⸻ ⚡ 4. Sound Style Ideas for Sonic Boom • Genre mix: • Big Room EDM (like festivals) • Future Bass (emotional + powerful) • Electro House (dirty bass) • Signature sound idea: 👉 Massive bass hit = “BOOM” effect 👉 Distorted synth lead (sharp + aggressive) 👉 Sub-bass drop that shakes speakers ⸻ 🎹 5. Melody Tips • Use simple but catchy hooks • Repeat main melody in drop • Use minor scale for powerful feeling ⸻ 🔥 6. Production Tricks • Sidechain bass to kick (pumping effect) • Add reverb before drop, then cut → makes drop hit harder • Use silence before drop → increases impact Don’t text
