[Most Recent Track] Don't Do It

[Fyl Syf]

Hi,

I finished this track off last Monday and I'm keen to get some opinions on how it's sounding. This is my second proper Drum & Bass track, so I'm still learning how to do certain things. The Bass, although a little unconventional, is intentionally the way it is

very good for your second dnb track... i like the filter twists you have in the bass, but dont think the melody is particuly strong personally.... not bad for how long youve been going atall mixdown aint bad as well... i would be looking to involve some more effects, and personally see about making that first bassline more catchy somehow... i reckon the snare and kick could come through as well.... little things really.. good work mate!

Thanks for the response. I think, especially with this track, I have the habit of making drums too quiet for some reason. I've been doing some work on a new track and once I'd turned the drums up it really kicked some more life into it! I've also been playing with Parallel Compression, which I'm really liking

Glad you liked the mixdown of this track

On a side note I have been making music for a while (mainly Metal and Industrial) so this isn't the second piece of music I've ever done. However, I'm still an hobbyist and I'm not making any money from creating/mixing music yet
