New DnB Track | Hows The Mix?
« on: January 13, 2016, 12:11:33 am »
Hey guys. I made this a few days ago before going to work and never got the chance to finish it. What do you guys think? Is it worth being finished? How does the mix sound? Do you guys like it or not?

Hey,

I'm not super keen on that piano - it sounds a bit plain. It might sit better if it was an octave higher up too.

The mix doesn't sound to bad to me but I only have headphones to listen on. I'd say finish it because it's always good to finish things - or you get into the habit of starting something new every time you get bored or stuck with something.

I like melodic d'n'b but I also like drum 'n' bass to have some grit to it. Just my personal preference but might be an idea as to where to take this.

Thanks for listening. :) The piano is going turn into vocals. I'm most definitely not gonna keep it there permanently. I'm gonna get someone to sing over that section but for the time being I kept it in there to convey the melody. Maybe I can also add a little something fancier with the bassline as well to create some grit. I'm a fan of that as well.

Like he said, the piano is a bit dry. The track has a decent atmosphere, but there are a few there are a few things you can try to improve to make it sound even better. Try adding more sounds (preferably some reverbed field recordings imo or another layer of pads or two), sounds a bit empty to me, and the drums are a little dry, but the idea is pretty good and the percussion is pretty nice, keep working on it!

I'm going to try out your recommendation as soon as I get home from school mox. Thanks so much for your feedback. Maybe I'll try adding a little reverb onto the hi hats so that the drums don't sound so dry.
