Nice, but could do with more mixing.

Really loved the individual parts, but I think more parts should be sidechained to the bass drum to keep it pounding. Equally, I think it lacked depth in terms of the parts/ A strong subbass is easy anything to whack on in and should only take ten minutes to write for. Two minor points, but two things I think definitely worth considering. Loving everything elsee though :)

Hey, thanks for leaving a comment:)

Yeah, I agree with you. And the thing is, I just started with DnB, and I still have a lot to learn about the genre :P But I will get more serious next year. I.e with mixing and all that. (Tbf, I was looking at videos for sidechaining and mixing earlier, and now I know that it is reaally important by the fact that people mention it in comments^^)

Take care!

Very nice!

Don't hear much neurofunk about these parts, loving the power of this track. The beat, the glitches, just everything, so pro. Keep it up, 10/ 5/ DL.

YakovlevArt responds:

Yeah I can agree on that.
I'm glad you liked everything (pretty much)
Thanks for the DL too =]

Fockin hard

Tight beats, and that classic pitchshiftin synth. Keep it up, I love the way you fell into the second drop. Tight man.

Pretty slick bra

Not gonna lie the production on this one is NICE, the snare has just the right sparkle, the kick drum has the right depth, the mastering is all very nice, but I gotta give this a nine (DX I'm sure) cause I think you'd only become UNSTOPPABLE if you go back to the laptop and f*ck about making some more wobbles. Hopefully the *elusive ten* (audience gasps at the phrase) will be a motivator, cause I'd LOVE to see where you go, your production skills are sly.

Loved it all in all, download and five :)

Kicking!

Loved the energy of this piece. Could perhaps benefit from some compression to stop it peaking, but I love your ol' skool sound bro! Keep it up!

10/ 5 AKACCMIOF

Liked the beat a lot, classic samples obvs.

This just didn't hit me, perhaps have the bass hitting a lower register. I guess that's really just jungle, so I shouldn't vote too harshly just on genre! Effective messing with the vintage samples, you got the classic drums and the classic jungle bass. I think maybe if you had some more depth in the bass and bit more playing around in the bass this song'd be better off for it, but yano what, I really liked it! Love to hear more like this.

9/ 5 AKACCMIOF

Awesome! :D

Don't here enough drumstep here IMO, but then again I would say that! Very very nice, track can't think of any creative crit save that I want more! Well earned a five and a download, keep it up!

TheRealSam responds:

Thanks a lot! So it's drumstep ahah alright, I still don't really see the difference with dnb but oh well :)
I don't know if I'll make more, I'm not at ease enough yet with the plugins I'm using, so it takes some time for me to produce one dnb/dubstep/drumstep song :/ Which is a shame because I've got plenty of ideas for this genre. Anyway, we'll see how it turns out.

Very nice, lots of interest in the higher register

I really enjoyed this track, full of lush, catching effective musical ideas. Only problem is in their realisation: mixing etc., but really, that's what NG's about! The parts flow effortlessly, and you've clearly heard this before writing it, it has SO MUCH in terms of the composition! :)

To make this bigger, fuller, more satisfying, I think there are several techniques you should look into: transient compression on the drums, layering of parts on the drums (two sanres, two bassdrums at once etc.), maybe more reverb on the violin and some delay on some parts, it'd make the song feel like it has more space. Also maybe have a look into using other kits: I felt the snare in the half time section maybe could have been more mid heavy, and the hi hat for me wasn't quiiiiiiite bright enough. That said, I bring these up only as points for you to take on boar, or not, as routes to explore in future.

This song is thoroughly deserving of a ten.

thanks a lot for your review :)

Not too shabby! :D

IMO would benefit from some more Mastering work, maybe something on the treble end, some sawtooths and squares or something, love the beat though :)

Although i must say, its all about Hallowe'en dnb, so only 9/ 5 :P

Gustav21508 responds:

Thats definitely do-able, and yea.. I probably should've made a Halloween D&B song, But in anycase I'm glad my first official D&B song is "Not too shabby"
Thats great to hear xD
Thanks for the feedback, I'll definitely look into some Sawtooth and Square work!

BUFF!

Just needs more mid bass for me, but on the whole well worthy of a 10/ 5 solid production value! :D AKACCMIOF

Euphy responds:

Thanks dude! :D
