Decimal Time - Visionarysoundsystem

Description : I think this is Drum and Bass. It sounds like it to me. Please correct me if you think otherwise. Thing is it's only 90BPM ! Is that too slow to be D & B ? I started off this track by messing about with some synth sounds. I wanted to produce something atmospheric & moody sounding. Once I had done that I kinda knew how I wanted the drums & percussion to sound. When I had began to find them I thought - Hmmmmmmm Drum & Bass sounding to me. By the time I had put the vocals on (some loops from an EJay D & B disc collection) and added some extra bass I had ended up with this. I'm pleased with it as I like it and I think it works ok. Not brilliant but ok (maybe a bit more melody somewhere along the line). The mix may need a tweak here & there, please advise me on that if you care to. To be honest I was working on something along the lines of a chilled type Prodigy track & I seem to have ended up with a Goldie type track. Anyway enough of my ramblings. I hope you enjoy the track & thanx for taking time to stop by & listen. Peace, love & justice to y'all people

I know absolutely nothing about DnB. But I do know great music when I hear it, and this is great music. It's difficult for me to offer any kind of constructive criticism, especially when I enjoyed it so much, so I'll just sit back and sip my coffee and enjoy the song.

Sometimes a smile is the best review one can receive. I'm grinning from ear to ear :)

Hello Mr Bear. Thanx so much for taking time to stop by, listen and review. I really do appreciate and thanx for such a positive review. DnB is a bit of a secret vice of mine and I hope I have managed to pull something passable off in the genre.

I have no idea if this is a sub genre already, but this feels like "chilled" DnB . Very easy on the ears, yet still gives enough of that punch to properly keep the song moving forward. Dope man.. Peace

I agree with wongkishoo (##### that's Suggestive) about having a snappier kick of the like's. it just need's to be consistant with the beat .. apart from that VSS .. AN ABSALUTE CLASS OF A TRACK Pal. Beautiful Atmosphere with a very wide range of well placed sounds .. Brilliantly Produced VSS. Respect.

Moses my main dude there is always room for improvement and the feed back I recieve helps me to improve, I hope. Must admit I haven't visited this track in awhile but what you & Wonky/Toonz have advised has made me think hmmmmm maybe I should take some time out & try a little tinker with this track ? Thanx for that & thanx for bringing me back to a track I like but could be made, better ? Different ? Just added to perhaps ? Cheers mate for the listen & review & advice, appreciated as always. Peace, Love & Justice my friend

Thanx for listening & reviewing. Much appreciated my friend. I would be gratefull for your advice on tweaking things, this isn't a genre I would usually work with and it's all part of my learning curve. Thanx again mate and respect to ya

I absolutely adore this kind of DnB - I'm guessing you do too otherwise your track wouldn't of ended up like this lol. The best example artist I can think of that does a similar style is LTJ Bukem.... absolutely immense talent. lived a few streets away from me actually ;)

I would of liked to see a snappier kick drum in a more sort of consistent pattern and there seems to be a bit of an overlap in 1 or 2 places with the hats but aside from that this is friggin awesome :) fav'd

Thanx Toonz. Kind review to say the least and to be compared with someone like LTJ B is praise indeed. This isn't a genre I would normally attempt so please forgive me the odd blip lol. I will take your advice and at some stage attempt a remix and try to use your suggestions. Thanx for listening & reviewing. So much appreciated from someone like your-self that makes such good sounds. Respect my friend

This still qualifies as DnB! I think why the 90 BPM works is that you are using it at double time in the case of some of the percussion. So it feels like 180. Very creative use of the vocals! This is a nice ambient style of DnB! The mix sounds pretty good to me overall, but I might bring out the bass a little more. Great work!

Thanx for the review Siv, very kind. I did try to "up" the bass by sending it into the sub-bass zone but my CPU was being eaten up and I was suffering a Rice Krispies moment with my speakers (snap, crackle & pop) ! Thanx again my friend for taking time to listen & review so positively.

Description : At last I found some time to create something I'd never done before. I made up my mind to mash up tracks by some artists from Looperman and here it is!
Tracks and samples used:
JAI26 - "LM Jam"
PaperKup - "Going"
Pnnywze - synths and drums
Piano, some percussion, VOX chops, arrangement, FX, mixing and mastering by me.
Huge credit goes to JAI26, PaperKup, and Pnnywze for their awesome original tracks and great playing that came together perfectly!

Description : Reworked track, with different acapella and drums. I tried to preserve the acapella original intonation, but the track sounded terrible, so I had to resort to a pretty extreme shift (I won't be mad at ChePaxin if they ask to take this down lol).
