Just paused working on this to take the feedback pulse.
Thoughts so far?
Reckon the vocals need re - doing. Transitions not done properly yet.
Sorry bout youtube quality.

Sounds quality so far. There's an issue with the low repeating bass note, it sounds like it's deliberately off tune, but it sounds awkward to me. The vocals are ok, but need more processing to dirty them up a bit. Obviously they need more addition to reduce the repetitiveness as well. They'll work though I think.
As always, I dig your dirty sound.

I was expecting some heavy neurofunk bassline at 1:50, would be just perfect imo. Tight percussion, love it. Are those vocals yours?

Your drums are barely there and that snare doesn't really work in the context of your track. I don't know man, but the drums in your d&b tracks just aren't up to par. Here's an example of a piano drum & bass track done right.

I knew you wouldn't like it woony - you've disliked every track of mine, which is fine btw, I'm absolutely not complaining.
We have different taste entirely so I will never produce a thing you like.
The drums in your example would be very easy to do, they are pretty much how D&B drums have sounded for 20 years, but I would rather do it my own way with no loops or amen stuff jogging along. I deliberately hardly use and hatz and no ride cymbals, and not the classic Q&A snare shuffling. No point as it's been done a billion times.
As I say I'm not complaining at all, and I am under no illusion my tacks are any good, but your'e taste is just nothing like what gets me wanting to move. The techno you posted as examples for me before were the sort that gets everyone going to the bar where I'm from, just zero grove and originality.
So sure, I can drop drums like that into these tracks but I'd find that a cop - out. Perhaps I'm wrong , but I don't get any enjoyment from copying typical standard styles.
Cheers for the feed.
This is only a WIP, and I'm not sure if it works, thats why I thought I'd down tools and take opinions now.
TEHLORD - damned you spotted that bass dissonance. It is deliberate but I'd hoped it would work, I'll maybe live with it a while and see whether to fix this or not. Cheers.
I was concerned about repetition, one of the reasons for sticking this up now.
Hey what is this dirty sound you speak of? I would love to be able to produce the cleanliness you manage but somehow I never do!
Cheers
SENSUEREA - yes my singing, not so good this time, may well re - do. It's always so hard because there's never a quiet few hours to really nail it, so it's just snatched time here n there and trying to get it right first go.
Thanks for the thoughts on what to do at 1.50 - am considering that.
Cheers

Clean is easy. It's dirty warmth that's hard to get right ;)
