I'm planning a set that blends pulsating basslines with classical orchestral arrangements. What general steps do you recommend to cleanly merge these two worlds? I'm particularly interested in an efficient workflow for layering synth parts and strings, suitable frequency spectrum placement, and tips for using sidechain compression without destroying the orchestral dynamics. Are there proven methods for arranging melodies that work both in a club context and a concert hall? Your experiences with EQ strategies and spatial placement would be really helpful.

I'm curious which sidechain compressor you're currently using—are you applying it just to the bass or also to the string tracks, and what attack and release settings are you using? Also, which EQ presets do you use to separate deep synth basses from deep violin and cello tones?
