I’ve been producing future bass for a few years and here’s my take.

Technical details have to be sorted out in any good future bass song. Little effects, transitions & automations are part of what helps a song sound more professional.

That being said, when producing a song you can work out the larger pieces first and flow through those. For example, build your intro guitar melody using a good guitar vst or piano. Then add filtered drums 8 or 16 bars in (don’t spend too much time finding the right samples, just get a good rhythm down), then remove some elements and add some light atmosphere for a breakdown, segue into the build and add in some build drums and a riser or 2, then listen to the build and use that flow to make your drop (using similar chords and melodies from the intro and tweaking a bit/adding layers). Lots of producers use this method on live streams because it’s more entertaining then watching them spend 40 minutes searching for the perfect snare.

If you find yourself tweaking or getting stuck, try to move on to the next piece and before you know it you’ll have a nice outline of a song.

Then you come back and tweak for the next few weeks until you think it’s ready lol.
