So I started a track yesterday on the drop, got a set of 16s done and looped it, to listen over etc
Coming back to it today I realised I had pretty much made the chilled section that usually comes after a set of 16s. So I ignored it and worked on a simple intro and build up.
When I made the drop I found that this new section now sounds more like the usual set of 16s after a drop (a beat down section where most of the stuff is stripped out and its just rolling dnb)
Then it occurred to me I have a section that should be a beat down section at the beginning of a drop and then another slightly fuller one after that??? Yet, looping it in FL sounds good but overall as a tune if I were to say its finished it just doesn't seem right??
I've not heard a track that drops into a build up which then builds up again into a fuller section yet never properly has the feel of a drop?
Which ultimately brought me onto thinking why is it that we have to follow this 'formula' that most dnb is made to? And if there were no reference points, i.e other tunes that do this, then what would be the norm today???
Think I'm just looking a lil too deep into it!! Fuck producing at night! lol
