Ok... to some this may seem dead obvious, but I can't tell you how many times I've gotten a really cool bassline going with some funky percussion and then got stumped right there. I end up trying all kinds of stupid sweeps with my high frequency sounds, or over complicate a reaktor engine to such a level that I'm blinded into thinking that what I've got is great.
Until I listen to it a week later.... bassline still cool... percussion still funky.... pads, resonant sweeps, what the hell is going on here? It just sounds like a pre-school mess.
The rhythm/counter rhythm you create at the top end needs to be as good as the phat bass you spent hours on. Even if it's not as easily noticed. Otherwise the whole mix is spoiled.
