nice warm pads. heat it nicly.

the break was the only drums in it i liked. boring, others wise.

you need varaiety ever 4 or 8 bars!!!
hell i can be 2 or 3 variations but still .... it keeps it interesting. god dnb is knowing whne to make the variations, more than the actual way there done. rember that.

oh and something about the levels..... during the drop, there's no high end, so it loses the sparkle, so just make a a high end shelf and make it pump up the high end gently... for the drums only.

the synthline covers nicly where the snare should be though.

even if you got static noise in the background not needed.

i like the spacey sounds you chose. the drums after the first drop sound a bit strange. i cant really hear the snare.
needs some more variations.
i liked the second half of the song more than the first half.

good ideas. Bigup

Opening sounds are good. The bass drum roll leading up to the first drop could use some work, a bit lower volume and could use some velocity variations to make it sound more like a real drummer. The bass that comes in is deadly. The keys over top are out of key but that sounds kind of eary. Those little hit sounds that come in at 3:00 have to go! Nice atmosphere before the second drop - bring some of that back later in the tune. Again the bass drum roll leading up to the second drop is a bit typical, but the levels are better - perhaps because that other beat is there. The sound at the drop is very good! Those two sounds go very well together. Again, scrap the hit sounds. But you'll need some other sound in its place. Actually you might be able to salvage that sound if you add reverb and/or delay and keep the hits within a narower pitch range (otherwise its obvious you'll need to resample at another frequency). Your sub could use a touch more kick to it, perhaps try layering an 808 bass drum right at the start of the envelope. Your first tune on here? Nice start for sure and I'll be tuning in - hope you do the same.

Nice intromelody and stuff, but I'm not sure it fits with the spirit of what DnB means to me

Drums kick in: nice, but the sound is lacking: not enough hi-end and not enough punch. ReEQ them to give them more power.

1.18: that other sound that comes in is out of key with the first melody.

Bassline drops in: quite nice, but it doesn't sound like it's part of the same track as the up-down melody. Also, the drums don't have any power at all, the snare is virtually non-existent!

Hoovers coming in: they don't fit the other stuff at all, they sound completely out of place. And out of key.

Once you have the drums with the hoover and the bassline only, it's better. But sound is horrible again. Very thin.

A track which is too long, too repetetive and that has lots of elements that don't go with eachother.
And the sound is bad. Sorry

1/5 for the track
1/5 for the sound

The track begins reasonably good but it has a trance structure which gets boring after 20 seconds .

The bassline is a bit tame , maybe you could make it more lively with some program changes of the bass synth .

The higher synthsound doesn't fit with the bass .

There are no chords in the song . Chords give feeling to a song .
