Well hello there!
First, poor attempt at Drum and Bass. At the moment really only about 2 1/2 mins of ideas strung together. This will likely get remade from scratch in FL once I get all my ideas together as I want to actually try to organise Flstudio completely (automation curves outside of the clip itself, name and colour everything), but i'd love your feedback.
also not happy with volume levels and EQ'ing. I should wait until the whole thing is done before EQ really. I EQ'ed the piano to take some of the edge off but now it seems lacking.
At 36 seconds there's obviously intended to be a drop and a transition to hard dnb, but i need to do a lot more research to do that very successfully.
Vocals yet to be put in but they will be selected VERY carefully. As a result it's not yet named as i tend to do that afterwards.
Volume also needs to be sorted so vocals can be put in.
Please be critical I need to improve and the best way other than practice is the opinions of the practised.
To do:
Better sweep
Better piano
Better drum samples (crash, snare, the kick is ok)
Raunchy Bass synth from Massive
Attempt sidechaining.
Increase bpm from 170 to 175
More parameter editing (There's a lot of volume automation but the EQ only changes twice)
