RE: New DnB track. Bump This!
Well, I'd have to disagree there. One of the other great things about dt is that the
opinions and views on music can be as varied as the music we make, which is a
variation. Yes, the middle part is totally atonal in relation to the opening. But hey,
fuck the opening, you wanted to rock out to something a little more gestural and
less cerebral, which to be honest is the way more and more dnb producers have
been going in the last decade or so. Personally, I'd cut the intro in half though.
It's effective the way it is, but unless you want to put another phrase in there or
extend the phrase beyond 2bars about a minute should be enough. Another
recommendation I'd have is to vary the velocities of your snares a bit more,
especially on the rolls. As much as the machine-gun snare sound works, it does
make for more interesting listening if you make the rolls more gestural (Iike your
basslines, which are bang on by the way). A kickass track as it is though, and
right up my alley as far as what i'm prodding these days. 9.8 out of a possible
10.
Peaceout,
Peter
