But i think towards the end of your production process you could start putting a huge spacey verb on a couple of different elements like snare and backing vox perhaps.
verb will give the track space, regardless of when you add it
i just use sends because of the versatility it awards you, even after everything's recorded you can always change the verb (patch, plugin and/or amount and which elements get how much)
and cuz if it's recorded wet, clipping and editing the audio is pretty much inherently wrong. and cheeky little edits have saved me more than once
