So i nabbed a drum loop from dave akuma off this site. I then figured out exactly what the hell was going on with the drums. I come from the world of 4 beat, and drum n'bass (as far as drum programming) has always really confused me...so i doubled up the drums with drums of my own...then compressed them together. I love dark drum n'bass, but usually i write psy trance/house. Would appreciate some tips on how to improve my style. and much thanks for providing some samples to help get me started.

Spliff :bigupBig Grin AMN DUDE thats some tight ass shit! I'm glad to see that there is someone else who likes to write the trancy dnb. My only complaint was with the begining , I felt you shold have built it up a lttle more. Make it more progressive in the intro and maybe a beat so that djs can mix it a little easier. Those lines where very nice sounded pro. I would totally play your track in a mix. Once again very nice job.
COOL

Quite slow, what BPM is this?

Trancey shit sounds... very trancey. So
if that was your goal, you did a great
job.

Drums seem quite nice, but they kinda
drown in the mix, so its hard to say.
Make them more up front.

Your bassline sounds a bit too digital
for my taste, give it a bit less high
end for a slightly more lofi feeling.

Very crowded track with a lot of stuff
going on. A bit too messy for my taste
in some parts...

Not bad, but not great

hey thanks a lot for the feedback guys. i take no offense when you saw it isnt great, cause i have deffinatly made better. .I appreaciate the ups...and will think about the things you said. Mixing wasnt really wasnt what i was going for as i am pretty much a drum n bass virgin (been writing psy type stuff...4 to the floor beat). But if you wanna mix it, you deffinatly have my permission Wink

thanks again for the replys (bpm is 170)

peace
