I always get to about here in whatever kind of production I'm working on... I don't know where to go from here... I have a solid beat that needs fills, and a couple of synths that I'm happy with; but then where do I take it from here?

Suggestions are very appreciated!!

Doesn't seem to be on your Soundcloud, bruv. Reup and I'll give it a listen. :)

My two cents:

- I would add some reverb to the bell melody to help it "float" over the other sounds. IMO, it sounds too "dry".

- Think about automating a delay to trigger on the last hit each time the bell phrase ends, so it trails off. You could also change up the type of delay so it's different every time.

- Maybe add an octave higher in addition to the bell's MIDI notes as the song gets to the main point = will help the track have a peak/valley dynamic.

- Think about adding some "trigger" sound(s) at the beginning of each 32 bar (like a cymbal crash or sound fx, etc.) This will add interest and make it mix friendly...

They need to make a debauchery VST with a "bitches be frolickin'" preset.

don't forget the filter to increase the clean beatz.

I don't see anything about mastrom, NN19 digital sampler, and scream4.

Weird.
