is a great idea for creating the best electronic music possible.

You need to have a good ear for music and have great knowledge about the music you want to create.

My best advice is to keep at a track until you're fully satisfied; don't consider it as finished until you feel that the music is the best it possibly can be and only then should you let others hear it.
