[QUOTE="Optimal Prime, post: 1598183, member: 90098"] I can tell you come from a dancier background first than the other way round DnB into dance. It has quite a dance feel with more focus on the dance melody, piano thing. As far as arrangement goes, I'd personally try and extend the track to at least 5 minutes. It isn't essential but when I make my own stuff, I try and go for the DJ in mind and aim to get what often turns out to be 1 min 6 secs intro before it kicks in. Some tracks go for a 44 sec intro and others longer. Makes mixing smoother. Same on the outro and usually I'll try and get rid of heavy bass towards the end to allow it to mix better. Of couse, this is only impotant if that's your intention, but maybe it isn't, I just think it's good practice to get into doing so that they can be featured in mixes by other DJ's and want to be used due to ease of mix. As for the mix itself, the bass area gets a bit on the muddy side causing the perc to duck behind a bit too much so you lose that impact. It's an area that is often overcompensated for, especially on smaller speakers. Overall it's not too bad, the melodies are not particularly my sort of thing but they are all in key and fit quite nicely. You just need to sort out that muddyness in the low end. [/QUOTE]
