I call this the “anatomy method” for finishing tracks.

1️⃣ Skeleton: Drums, groove, and basic arrangement.
2️⃣ Muscle: The bass, chords, and the heavy lifting.
3️⃣ Skin: The ear candy, textures, and final mix.

Don’t worry about the skin when you’re still building the skeleton. Get the foundation right, and the rest falls into place.
