Does anyone have any good resources where I can look at the arrangement of a few drum and bass tunes? I’m making my first track in the genre, as i like a break from house every now and again.
Cheers Danny.
danny - what I do is put the track (mp3) in my DAW then listen to all the highs, mids and lows with an Eq and name and mark them in three differnt colours. With any special FX I leave to last in a light blue. It takes quite a while till you get the hang of it
That way you can see how the arrangement looks, where the breaks are and when things are added and faded out
Hope that helps mate - I could email you a screen shot if ya like but it aint dnb
Yeah I’d be interested to see how you mean, see if i can use the approach. I’m having the same old ‘house’ problem though. I can make a banging eight bar loop but not a whole track. I have some dirty beats laid down, a nice reese bass and a few higher elements that I wanna start laying out before i get into automation and effects. I want to make that more driving dirty drum and bass, the stuff that starts the mosh war on the dancefloor, not the glitchy kinda stuff. Is it possible to send private tunes on soundcloud, i can email you the track, you’ll see what I mean.
