D&B song structure.

Great advice this helps but I make DNB at 170 bpm is that to slow?

Not at all! I'd say anything between 170 through 176 is safe...but honestly, there are no "rules" in terms of what is the "best" tempo to use. The Kill the Noise remix of "Spitfire" is actually composed at 172, though through the magic of drum programming an lovely arpeggios it can be perceived as being much faster.

Dont get me wrong, im new to the game so im not questioning everyones advise. Its all really helpfull.

What i dont understand is how can u have a 48 bar intro ??

I mean a 32 bar intro (what i use) is 8x4's or 2x16's if you understand me.

But a 48 bar is 12x4's. You think it would be 16x4's to make a 64. (Rounded off).

I thought that with producing aswell as mixing everything works in equal sets of 4', 8's, 16's, 32's etc, so how can a 48 work ???

I hope you understand what i mean.

So a 48 bar intro is 4x4's short of an equal amount.


All reply's welcome.

This subject has been doing my head in for a while now.

a 48 bar intro is 3x16.
usualy its 32 bars of drums for mixing in then into a breakdown where a vocal might might come in or the lead or a melody before it drops...
