JEOJ - WIP 25.8.11

You don't have to save it, most browsers should play it in their own player when you click it I'll put it into SC when I get out of school today.

Thoughts on the mix, composition and anything at all, please! It will be greatly appreciated.

D'n'b W.I.P. #1 by JEOJ

Edited: added the SoundCloud player.

This sounds good, but i think if you lowered the mid-frequencies on the kick-drums , it would sound better

Thanks for your reply! Indeed kicks are where I suck the most ass. They always seem so boxy and flat, and I can't figure out how to make them translate to other systems; they sound excellent on my headphones.

Lovely melodies actually, the basis of a fantastic atmospheric dnb track, but the bassline is just terrible. Drum 'n bass like this is all about the sub bass - you really want a deep bassline. The one you've got right now is puny. Some more interesting drum programming would be nice too.

Thanks for the feedback! It's really appreciated.

I do agree on the bassline. I'll work on it when I get some free time on my hands and update this thread. I've been thinking of adding a speech-sample of some kind and generally achieving a slightly dirtier sound.

I'm actually attending my first d'n'b-only-clubnight this weekend hoping to catch some good vibes for more inspiration.

pretty cool, just listen to more of this stuff and you should be fine.

im also working on DNB of the same nature myself, im collabing with a good producer ;} pm me if you want to hear it.

the melody is really awesome but as "dr.america" already mentioned, the perc. &kickdrum has a bit too much of the mid freq. ut to be honest, i think the bassline is nice and it fits. yea of course, there are other alternatives which might fit better but i think that this one does well too! the snare is perfectly chosen, i like it
