Description : I made this simple little blue/jazz groove with the drums and Upright Bass.

The BPM is 60 and in 4/4 time and I believe the bass is in Eminor. Enjoy

Like this a lot. Should be played in a smoke filled basement bar where the drinks are tight and the ladies are loose.

LOL... If only this kind of music had the same allure it once had on people. But the ambiance you have described would be most ideal for this setting. Now do you know any good piano/solo brass/solo saxophone VST?

I'd like it better if I could hear the upright bass better, maybe turn it up or the drums down?

Otherwise, good job.

I am in complete agreement with you. I realized that right after I uploaded it. I will definitely go back and really master the mix and maybe add a few things and really work on the melody. Thanks for the critique.

Later,
Erick

It was tricky to get this to sounds right but I was going for a 6/8 drum grove like you guessed, but I wanted it to fit in a 4/4 time signature. You will hear that the snare hit is exactly on the 2 and 4 count. And the kick drum hit is on 1 and 3 with the last hit on the "4 and" count at the end of each measure. Now the ride hits where the most difficult. By making 3 hits per beat. I achieved this by placing the hits on the 1, "2 and", and "3 and" count. Though the third hit I dragged a bit for increased tension and a little style. I hoped this helped and thanks for comments Danke.

Description : I'm gonna file this under Drum and Bass due to the beats I used. Though it's probably not DnB in the strictest sense of the word, as it starts off with a Cinematic vibe till the beats kick in (apologies for that, as I don't have a vast knowledge of DnB!). Apart from the beats and a couple of other loops, all synth/bass parts are played by me using ThornCM, Poly Max and Z3ta+ vst's. Let me know what you think? All feedback is always appreciated. Thanks.
