Drum and Bass
« on: February 28, 2016, 02:31:37 am »
Never attempted anything D&B before but I vibe so hard to some good D&B.

So, scratch the track or keep going?

Lmk if you enjoyed it!

I'm not sure if the part at around the ~0:48 mark is a stylistic choice for it to sound kind of minimal, but maybe add something like sub bass there to add some style & interest to it. This track could really benefit from more layers in general. The composition is really solid though!

Stylistic choice yes. Good to know about layering and such. Suggestions with that? I have a sub bass in there once the acid bass comes in all the way until the end. Maybe it's just not loud enough!

How's the master so far as well? I tried to get it decently clear.

Thank you for the feedback!

drums louder, every thing else less loud.

that's the price you get to have drums stick through the mix.

I don't think it's more layers, because you have a solid foundation.

look up buss effects, and see how you can best utilize them.

PM me if you have a question on the matter.

Still super dry though dude...

Like it sounds alright with what you have, but there's no production quality outside of the sounds you've used, eq, and volume balanced.

It needs more character with the effects. Little bit of that stuff sprinkled in.

It's a little cheese pizza sounding with synths being as dry as they are.

I saw the disclaimer, you should wait until you get your pc to add in more stuff.
