In this article on composition improvement, I will be talking about dynamics, which basically concerns how loud or soft you make your music sound. Little tweaks to dynamics can make a big difference.
Placing a loud dynamic on the first beat of each bar is a simple but effective tweak. It can give a track momentum and impetus, and it also helps you keep in time.
You may also want to introduce consistently loud dynamics for choruses, by placing them on every beat of the bar. This adds impact and power to the chorus.
Very quick dynamics are also very effective. You should consider introducing rising dynamics on the beats toward the end of a bar, like on a pre-chorus, which can make the track very dramatic and exciting. You could start very quietly and end the bar very loud for maximum effect.
For a more extreme contrast, you could introduce very quiet dynamics on the beats of one bar, then very loud dynamics on the next. Repeat this process a few times and you have a very unusual sound texture.
Those are just a few ideas to consider for creating an excellent dynamic range, and can really add extra life and vibrance to your tracks.
