Yes that can be difficult
Quite often i get inspired from a single sound, then that sound is kind of the foundation for the track.
With that settled, i then decide the type of other waveforms i would like in the project, then i find the instruments of that wave-type, and decides which goes best with my foundation. Quite often i have to fiddle with some filters, or rebuild the instrument. After that, there are two sounds that the next sound must 'go with' and that way i pick the instrument-sounds successively.

But your question is great, because other may have different and interesting approaches to this, so lets hear from you: How do you match up your sounds and instruments in a project?

Which song?

:) not A specific one. Just the way you find instruments that 'fit' in the soundscape, in any project
