Yo Slic awesome work on DnB track. Looking forward to hear final version of it. And yea this is my WIP.



All kinds of feedback ar welcome

@Cyborg Nice kick First time you build is better then second.. Maybe because of the difference of snare and clap there.. didn't like the clap there at all otherwise really nice

Thunderbunny: maybe a bit too much dist on your tail and don't really like that part after 0:55...

New track I'm working on:

Thunderbunny: I kind of agree with the tail, but at the same time i dont really know what you are aiming for. The kick works, not that exciting though. The fx sounds awesome though.

Parallectic: Hard to critisize something that is so far of from my own thing, if i have a thing that is.

Made this during lunchbreak today. Using a pair of Sony MDR-V150...Might be a bit muddy.

SourceOfDistortion: i like atmosphere but it seems like there is to mutch of reverb

there is another one WIP that i workin on now

@ Cyborg
Kick is very good, and i also like the build up, sometimes i couldnt really follow the melody but i think this would grow on me very fast

dont mind the build up, just cut this together quick

@ Edgie - melody has potential although i would change a bit notes at the 4th bar, however kickdrum is totally not my thing

dammit thats what i DIDNT want to hear
but i will still change this and that untill its finished anyway^^

ok, melody is shitty and so is the kickdrum, is it now ok sir?

shit just got real

But more to the point. All sounds including kickdrums is just an expression of how do you perceive music. Nowadays it's quite hard to distinguish great kickdrums from bad ones since most of producers uses rather similar synthesizers and techniques so sometimes there're really just a small difference between kickdrums. But what i want to say is that you need to treat kick and bass differently, also the flow between them, how they sound togethet. Good example is Toneshifterz & Bioweapon - Dead Of The Night. There's a kick and bass, but for example listen to buildup. You have 16 bars, 8 bars is normal (let's put it so), and then on next 8 bars you have an additional crunchy distortion in triplet rhythm. Listen and see how it adds a lot of energy. It's a subtle thing but it really adds energy! And it's crucial to understand that it's possible to make really nice energetic & raw nu-style kickdrum. But like i said, bass is just as important as a kick, bass needs to have proper flow, both in sub and higher tones. In your case you know, it's just another kickdrum

About your dnb track, it sounds like begining of something, like Noisia sound Really, add some more snares to it, some distorted bass on top of it and this will be very great intro to a track

@ Reverser
I know what you mean, i just love it when kicks change and getting more energetic during a track

Made this quickly... f*ck alphaverb reverse bass so using samples here hardstyle+dnb FTW!

i like it vol-e, its an interesting combination
