Sound design stage complete / moving to arrangement (stuck)

Any track that has really good content will almost arrange itself. If you are having trouble coming up with an arrangement then you have one of two problems. Either it has too little content to keep it interesting or the content is not up to par to make it easy for you to arrange. Ususally the only cure for this is to strip the track down to only the very best parts and craft the rest of it around those parts. After that the arrangement will become natural.

that's true if you already have good arrangement skills; if you're still learning (as people are discussing in this thread), then this doesn't apply!
