Crafting transitions

Ride fills for transitions, particularly drums. Consider just riding the overheads. Maybe push the volume into a compressor for more density.1

Push bass up just a decibel. People don’t often hear that kind of change, but they will feel it.1

Use a boom sound effect on a downbeat to mark a transition.2 I can use the Reaper media explorer for help with this.
