In my opinion what really makes a good intro to a song, is a good lead. I kinda find it hard to go about making leads because I always want something different, but I'm not sure exactly what sort of sound I want or need. When you make leads do you have in mind a sound you want to make usually? Also post some of your favourite leads so we can get some inspiration. My favourite lead I've heard recently is in this at 1:00 (the lower frequency one with the attack envelope) Soundcloud

best lead imo is one that differs from whats comin next, one that differs from the main melody ur about to drop. one sick lead was emalkays when i look at you, shiiiiit so many elements, was pure perfection the way it kept you wonderin "where is this beautiful atmosphere comin to" then bam- the drop..woah )
