This is definitely not dnb - it's more like house or something. Still pretty good tho. That snare really needs changing - it's almost inaudiable at times. It's got a real mushy sound. Also, you need to check your bass levels cos there's a distinct lack of bassiness throughout the track. It sounds like you're using a lot of compression? It doesn't sound good, try taking it off. The quiet parts are sounding as loud as the loud parts - that's not good imo. It takes all the dynamics out of it.

Those pads you are using sound a bit trance and the don't follow the drums very well, might want to quantise them also the pattern you play with them doesn't sound very DnB. Drumline needs work A LOT. Kick is drowning in that mid-bass you use. Snare sounds all over the place. The speed of the track is far to low for DnB.


To get more info on FL: get "the FL Studio Bible" it has some really detailed information on using FL.

Bass sound is pretty good but doesn't seem to loop with the tempo properly, lol nice sample, not sure about those pads, could do with some effects to make them sound a bit more pleasing. Everything ended a bit abruptly as well, not really much structure, could be a good tune with some more work and structure, maybe some variations in drums and bass as well.
