Add a bassline using a synth or a sample. It should complement the beat and provide a solid foundation for the track.

Add a lead melody using a synth or samples. It should be catchy and memorable, and it should stand out over the beat and bassline.

Use effects like reverb, delay, and compression to create a sense of space and depth in the track.
