I’ve been struggling to make my breakdowns feel more emotional and engaging. Whenever I get to that part of the track, it feels a bit empty or flat, and I’m not sure how to build tension without overcomplicating things. I’m working on a melodic house track right now, and I want the breakdown to really grab the listener before the drop hits. I’ve tried adding pads, vocal chops, and even automating filters, but it’s still not quite there. How do you guys approach creating atmosphere and emotion in your breakdowns? Any tips or techniques you use to keep things interesting without making it too busy? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Hi all you guys! My name is Ida and I'm currently making music out of Oslo in Norway. I'm excited to learn from you guys as well as the studio sessions and Q&As :)

If you’ve taken one of my courses on Udemy, first of all, thank you for being part of this community! I wanted to share something that I think could really help if you’re looking to take your Logic Pro or FL Studio skills to the next level. Just look at the videos in this post to watch examples of how a studio session online can look! What’s LogicPro.Academy / FLStudio.Academy? Unlike typical courses, these aren’t just videos to watch on your own. The academy programs are personal music production programs where I work directly on your own projects. 1. You send me your project files each week (or as soon as you can), and I record a studio session where I work on your music while explaining what I’m doing. 2. You get to see the project evolve with my comments and suggestions—and I follow up with you personally to help you keep making progress. 3. You choose the pace: there’s a 10-week sprint, a 20-week plan, or a slower 40-week path. 4. This way, it’s not just theory or random tutorials, but actual hands-on help tailored to what you need. Why join if you’ve already done a Udemy course? Udemy courses are great for learning the basics and workflows, but I know that often the hardest part is applying it to your own music—and staying motivated. That’s where the academy comes in. It’s designed to be personal, interactive, and built around your music—whether you’re stuck on a mix, arrangement, or getting your creative ideas flowing. Plus, there’s a library of 100+ hours of training videos you can access anytime, but the real value is the direct studio work on your projects. If you’re interested, check them out here: logicpro.academy flstudio.academy And of course, feel free to ask any questions below or DM me. I’m happy to help. Looking forward to hearing what you’re working on! PS. If you want a discount on the program, please let me know through DM🤫
