I’ve been experimenting with ways to make my electronic compositions feel more "grounded" and physical, moving away from the sterile nature of pure VST synthesis. I’m curious how other producers are handling the integration of organic, "woody" textures and historical or choral-style samples into a modern electronic framework. How do you manage the frequency spectrum when your primary melodic elements are so heavy on mid-range texture and grit? I often struggle with the balance between maintaining that "eroded" atmosphere and ensuring the track has enough rhythmic drive for a club environment. Any tips on processing or specific layering techniques for this kind of experimental production would be greatly appreciated
