get all the percussion in order, then work on synth, bass etc?

work on synth first?

try to finish in one session?

come back a week later and finialise things?

etc... etc...

i seem to layout the main body of percussion first, then work on bass and then work on all the details, i.e. synth, filters, other fxs, fills, edits etc..

how do you do it?
I work really hard to create track templates that allow me to have everything availible already for a tune, but do not automatically steer me into a specific direction.

After that; Depending on my mood, it's either 1. a riff (lead or bass or both) or 2. my drums. Then i build up most of the arrangement, usually pads/texture will come rather quickly. Next, with the arrangement mostly done, it's time to work on synth lead/bass/etc tones.. Efx, modulation, +. After that, it's on to the mixdown, and I'm done.

My main thing is to move around enough that I don't get bored.
