it's all good bruv. DnB is hard stuff, that's why it's fun!!! With the speed of the tunes running 160-170 bpm there's a ton room for playing around with drum breaks and what not.

What sorta synth you using on this stuff? or drum machine? I love jungle too, so passing on ideers and tips is just the ticket! ;)

Pretty nice start I must say. I'd wanna nast y it up some. The detuned soundsin the bass are ok, but it needs 1 dropped octave bass sound under it, in the 2nd drop maybe.

This sounds weird, but thinning the kick drum out so it has less sustain and higher esonance will give it more rrom in the overall mix. listen to some old school jungle breaks to hear what i mean.

Thing with DnB is creating just thr right amount of space for all the noises to fit in.

pretty nice go man...

Thanks bro.

Nice but you need to work on that reece thing, it needs more distortion and it sounds to thin. I create dnb a lot, to create reece you take 2 saw oscillators and detune them slightly. run them tough a notch filter and use a lfo on the cutoff. Slow rates work best. Next you add some distortion, tape or tube type distortion works best. Next add some phaser effects, if you like. Lowpass the low frequnecies and hipass the high. Then put a bandpass filter over the highs, and automate the cutoff.
Hope this helps. I use Reason 4 so I don't know how to do this in FL. Creating dnb is hard and know I am just now figuring out some things to make my tracks better. Keep making dnb, you will get better.

Rough mix and needs re-working, putting into stereo and some work done on dynamics but interested in hearing anyone's genuine thoughts. Thanks as always, Ben.

Description : Peace
Peace is something I haven't felt in a while.
Im not talking about the small moments where you feel peaceful.

Im talking about being at Peace. The kind where you sit in the rain/snow, and just...lay there. In the moment where you accept yourself..
