Nice solid foundation and groove. I wish I could bang out these kik / bass combinations as effortlessly as you seem to!

MAC Literally every WIP of yours I cannot play, do you remove them quickly or is something wrong my end?

Originally posted by Woony If you want SUPER DUPER loud mixes you probably need to mix into a limiter, I wouldn't personally do it though - IMO a lot of modern Dnb is waay too loud and dense, I much prefer the older stuff that still has dynamics. Keep in mind though that saturation also increases the perceived loudness since it rolls of transients and adds harmonic density. Try demoing Brainworx Saturator v2. If you leave it on the first drive stage and crank the saturation, the amount of perceived loudness you can add without an increasing in peak volume or audible distortion is actually mind boggling (and no compression!). Latest one from me - maybe I should upload a version with a clean master bus, it would sound like total crap

I need some decent dynamics tools, just using stock Cubase ones at the mo (lost my good stuff when PC died)

Nice sounding synths on your track, but the balance is a bit off, the main synth seems loud

Another solid track, but for me needs a bit more content journey to round it off.

Getting back to DnB

A track themed on A I becoming conscious. A mix of hardish DnB and melodic break

Smatterings of Roland JD XA and my new Eventide Space reverb unit

Was hoping to add my new Pittsburgh Lifeforms Blackbox but not got the right audio cable for it yet, grr

Should I add some creepy words to this track?

I like the groove and drums. Not gone for melody at 1:32 - 2:09, i don't think this fits here. Second break is better to me.

I like it. Hypnotic. I don't know how you manage to get such punchy big kicks

Sounds great. Love it.

Trying to finish these two tracks, i've even brought some real monitors in my work room though acoustic is not great. How is mixing?

Originally posted by TranceLover007 Hi Gordan, This my sound as unconventional comment but I decided to go this route because I think it is important for you to know where I cam from and what I'm looking for in music I really like to listen to. First of all I really have to have good day (inspiration vise) to go to my mini studio and work on something new, something which let me express my self, my feelings, my emotions and I usually start with little tool call Cthulhu from XferRecords which help me quickly go through different chords sequence for best possible melodic part. After that I work around bass and drums and really paying attention to balance and levels with good harmonics as this is the glue to your track structure which translate to best possible listening experience. At this point I should switch to your track and try to give you my best and honest suggestion/opinion which some times is not that easy as you may have a bit different expectations then I do from music, so I will start with this: so far I can't feel/hear overall coherent theme in your WIP, the thing which make track attractive and let different elements/sounds do/play their part in it (if you know what I mean), also it is important to recognize that in today music not only melody with cool drops and rises is enough but also FX and sounds selection play huge role in success of the track - and this is the element whci is also missing in this production concept. Overall I can definitively say the you are making progress in developing your production skills and it is just a matter of time you get the "ONE" track which may change direction of your life Cheers man, Darek

Thanks for your comment Darek, i know what you mean and yeah, i know that my works are mostly rushed . Hey, i'm impatient man . Will get better i hope.

Mixes sound better to my ears mate. The start of track one sounds like Blondie 'Heart Of Glass'
