Please check out my new track 'Drew Tweedy - Forever And Always' and post your comments here!

My first drum & bass song, i used breakbeats from this site, and various other copyright-free samples, and a lot of my own samples. the keyboard solo at the end was actually played by me, although i edited it a lot to stay on beat. http://soundcloud.com/drewtweedymusic

ez drew.
as a first effort its pretty decent Smile
The sounds dont quite gel enough for my taste, but thats something you pick up..

I wont bore you with technicalities and things I didnt like, it was ok overall- and if you keep on making the tunes you'll naturally improve.

Couple of things to watch for:

breaks- keep em crispy and tight. but not so tight they sound like they're native from a drum machine (unless thats the intention)

keys- pick chords/loops that complement each other. I know they should eb in key etc, but I go by my ears if it sounds right- its right!

Piano sounds more like a ballad than a DnB tune to me, cut out some lo-end from the piano as soon as the drums come in. The drums sound pretty techy which is a bad match with the piano.
The drop sounds like a totally different tune and seems to be quite mono. All in all it is a good piece of music, but it's not DnB.
If I had to choose between dropping this in a club or using it as a soundtrack for the home video from the last trip to the beach I would go for the beach.

You did a great job with the drums, and the kick sounded nice on my speakers.
The synths you used sounded too off, and i had to turn up my bass speakers to much to hear the bass. work on the balance more, and maybe try to give the synths a little more energy, because they feel like a dull drone.
But overall it was a good effort, and with a little more work, this could be a really good track in my opinion.


Sorry mate but you need to be close or up to par with the tunes that you review and this aint it!

Thanks for the comments tho....i thought you knew what you were talking about for a second there!

Bit of a boring intro, but I like the progression. I can appreciate your musicality, which is what I base my music on. The drop isn't loud enough, needs some stereo imaging, not sure if you've tried mastering? The hats and the snare sound too similar. Overall a nice tune, just needs phattening a little!
