So u'r on ur way , when funky things happen to u and u watch at all of this through orange glasses

nice melodie and rhodes. maybe its a bit empty and you could fill it up with some strings. the sax might need some reverb and the bass more depth.
the molodie is pretty nice. welcome to the forum

Really nice sound.
Agree with Equipped on the dirt part.
Agree with Rudeone on the strings (or pads).
The track sounds to empty and too layed back for me to stay interesting all the way. A nasty (bass)stab/FX here and there would remind us it is truly DnB. But a more serious concern: I'm totally missing a deep bass in this track, that would also add up on the fullness of the sound IMO.
@Rodi: Welcome, nice firsty!

i totaly dig what you are saying guys , hmm about filling the beat , i thought about it , but if ill even fill them , it won't be the breaks , i thought about some toms or something ...
It should sound too dnb battledrone , its something more like chilled fast trip hop
with dnb's bpm , its just the way i wanted it too sound , i was inspired by the work of Erykah Badu ...
Hmm about the deep bass ... There's bass but only 1 hit and after what it's slightly going down. I think that a bassline would sound sucky here 
but it's worth finding out
About the dirt , as i've already said the tune is somesort of a mind trip through a stage of travelling , i can't add dirt on HIGH THOUGHTS if u know what i mean
Rudeone i thought about reverbing the sax
i guess i've forgot in all of this sample madness
About the bass , rudeone , hmm could u tell me how can i make my bassline more depth ? Cuz i thought about it too , im just not so good at mastering etc
and ur oppinions about the sounding are supercounted ;D
THX PPL FOR YOUR COMMENTS , respect !

play a sine wave on a low octave. use a limiter on it if needed. layer another sine or any other waveform over it and use a lopass filter / limiter / compressor on it with decent lfo modulation if you wish.
try out layering. its very importend to get a decent sound

easy man!
chilled out roller for sure. good stuff.
like your sampling on this track, gives it a real nice atmosphere.
the bass sub is nice, but it gets a tiny bit samey after a while.
i would suggest varying the the bass note sometimes,
like slowly building up to higher notes near a break then
switching it back to the deep note just to keep the
listener hooked n waiting for that drop down.
apart from that its nice.
good first track buddy.
(thats what i think of when listenening to it. LOL)
peace out.

Hi Rodi, welcome to this forum.
Your tune differs from everything I've been able to catch in here, just because it is so sparse. And this is why I like it very very much. For me, this tune collects huge amounts of tension just because it is not so full on from start, like most of the other tunes. Ambient atmosphere is very well done, interesting and keeps me listening. I would up the beats a little (during breaks, not during intro), say 4-6dB, 10dB max, or with mastering/compression etc bring them up. under that layer, perhaps you could add one break layer more, but I say stay away from sounding like everyone else with 8 drum breaks on top of each other... you have time to do that in your next song 
Check more laid back classic drum n bass artists, like Goldie's Timeless or LTJ Bukem's Good Looking Reconrds stuff from 1997 or so as a good example how you can work your tune as a interesting without filling everything with distortion.
But keep the intro, first 2 minutes of this tune as they are, under breaks bring drums up a little, but no more complexity (at least much).
Do not believe these youngsters when they say it is dull, not every dnb tune needs to be for jumping and shouting, this is perfect for making love
Thumbs up, excellent first tune!
-Mikko

Let me quess
I found the _exactly_ same rhodes-wash sound from my old DnB records, dating back to 95-97.... so this is either old digital synth or software emulation from it.
I would quess Korg Legacy Collection, and Korg Wavestation emulation.
but it could also be Roland D-50.

To equipped : i won't add a break on the top of my beat , it would sound bonal and won't suit my theme ,i thought about it already
To Rudeone : hmm i thought about reverbing the sax , i guess it flipt out my mind , forgot to try it , will do , and about the string , hmm i'll try to find , but imho it wont suit the track , cuz that atmospheric rhodes + strings won't sound , and i won't drop the rhode game ;D
To BattleDrone : I guess u can't enjoy it with the full size , cuz it's aint usual dnb
it's a bit chilled 1
but still observing the dnb basics...
Bout the deep sub line or the sub singlehit slightly lowering , i'll try it for sure , thx man
To Halph-Price : about the snare , i guess it's the most basic snare u can ever hear ... I like it , and nothing suits better that it , as u can see the kick is not so original also
Simplicity is the key my friend , they sound very original for me and suit the track the most , but i'll try reverbing the kick and the snare , its something new btw , i've never did a reverb on a kick or a snare in the mainbody beat , thx for the tip
To SEVEN GUN : I've got the point of what u've said , and it might really work , ill try your suggestion , thx
To GreatFisherCat : ur not the 1st one who suggests me listening LTJ Bukem's tunes , i totaly dig his work , he's one of the inspirations on my style
Totaly happy that u like the tune i've put down ur suggestions , and all the otherones , ill do with those things u've all told me , and post a link on a finished version , if i'll change something ;D
To cynik : GreatFisherCat is right , just used a sample , made it sound nicely , the way i would want it to sound and here u go
Im not the best handmaker of synths,basses etc ... Thats why the samples are simple and colourful
