It's got really upbeat vibes. The sound choice is half and half with me, it's solid. The main gripe I have with this one is the lack of a crucial dnb element. The drums, and the bass too but I like to hear the drums fleshed out more. It needs more of a roll to it as well, try looking for some amen breaks. Or any dnb breaks and chop em up a bit. Just my honest critique, otherwise a good first attempt. But needs work. Just come back to it over time, peace

Yeah I feel what you mean, I think to create a more dnb feel I really should work on the drums but I am trying to get a hang of how to do that, I really find the drums of dnb intriguing but also hard to make. Of course I could just chop up a loop or such but eventually I want to be able to do it myself haha

Thanks for the kind words further and I am glad you liked it ;)

I really dig this track, it's got good vibes to it! Drum and bass is a fun and yet challenging genre, and I think you've done really well for your first try! I would definitely recommend easing off on the compression or limiting or whatever you used on the master. It would have more dynamics that way. some of the high ends were a little harsh, and different mastering might help that. I do really like it though, and I'd like to play it on my loopradio.net show soon. Faved for sure! Thanks for the DL!

Great work - tune has big potential for vocalist I reckon.

Very nice swells and journey.

Only thing is the master is a little maxed out mebbe? The bass and synth work so well around 2.55 but when the kick comes back about 3.12 it pushes things back on the compressor just a touch. Mebbe that's what you wanted, but it's really good bit of work!

Well done and cheers!

Thanks Maff ;D I hope that a vocalist comes on my path for this but it won't probably happen ;d

I know the master is maxed out, I noticed it after I rendered it and was like mm well don't want to change it but I should have done it.

Well I planned that the kick pushed it back because the main part I wanted the focus on there was the drum pattern and seems it worked then ;)

Thanks again for the kind comment and will see you around

If thats your first DnB attempt- i m afraid what the 10th will be like. Really great job on that mate - lol that weird piano starting around 2:00. Really nice mix, and just before the piano starts being annoying - the track ends. Great job - keep goin!

johnnyproducing replied 10th Jan 2014 - 12 years ago
We'll see ^^ Yeah I wasn't sure if the piano was getting too long or not so I was being like mm should I change it later on or not but decided to keep it like this and not make the track too long. Thanks for leaving a comment ;)

nice track... but in the next tracks u produce of this genre u shud experiment with new sound...
and for the vocals, use some sampled sounds...
johnnyproducing
johnnyproducing replied 9th Jan 2014 - 12 years ago
Well I was thinking about using sampled sounds but didn't got anything I liked yet, I will get to using new sounds but didn't have them available to make something in this genre so probably gonna work on making some for this. Thanks for leaving the comment ;)

Hello ....

I am not sufficiently expert in this musical genre, for to criticize anything .... but what I hear is quite pleasant.
By cons I'm not a singer, and therefore could not respond positively to your request (your comment on my track "Rain Falls Soft" it is not my voice) ....

I like it mate. If this is your first song, then your second song must be on another level! If you cannot find a vocal, maybe experiment with sampled sounds/vox. Thanks for sharing!

Haha first song on drum and bass eh not that I produced hehe. I am glad you liked it, you are good with spoken words as far as I know so if you want and you can come up with something for this then hit me up ;) We'll see about the next song, could take a while before my creativity and inspiration is recharged to blast again haha. Thanks for the comment

This is really great for your first attempt at a genre! Like alemen said it sound like it can be used on a tv show or video game.

Good work!

Great!

As i mentioned before in previous posts to other people, I'm a sucker for old 8bit commodore-64 sounds. Blip - blop. This song has got all of that! This is just like a good old shoot out tv-game. Maybe It's not what I call a drum and bass track, but I like it alot!

On the other hand - what do I know about genres?

Chreers, Anders.

Thanks Anders ;)
I am glad you liked it, I would call it drum and bass because of the drum pattern used. It's like a typical DnB pattern. Haha let's get someone to program a game for it then ^^

Your beat is awesome but it misses indeed a nice vocal for more variation in the song. But nice job, Keep it up!!!

Description : (26/50) D#nm - 180 bpm

Most of you know that I don't take myself seriously; I experiment, I just wing it, I don't care much about standards, and I don't care if the music industry takes me seriously, I'm just having fun. This is another one of those tracks where I turn everything upside down, an absurd story in a fast techno beat.

Only 1 sample used: Explosion-sfx by cbbk (2024).

Put on your dancing shoes and enjoy!

Description : I continue the hybrid procedure of creating music. This is a relatively recent song of mine that after the in DAW processing it was used as a prompt with certain guiding choices to AI machine. What was produced was di novo imported into the DAW to be blended with the original recording. It ended to a long music piece which I believe can be of interest to the listener. I hope you will enjoy this listen. I think Rocking Ambient describes well the genre.
