[Grave Rave]

Grave Rave

Well for drum n bass, I think you need more highs... your snare hits are good, the second hit that has significantlyless velocity seems a bit amissthough.

My main complain in my opinion, is your main synth. It doesn't sound eqed, and after 2:13 it pushes your sound out a bit. It's really grinding, I'd add some delay on it, and a flanger, really fuck that thing up. Maybe some bitcrusher, distortion, tube, tape, honestly the more fucked it is, generally the better it sounds and the less grinding :)

Your drum beats are effective. Just try some more hats and ride :)

With some work and production, this could be a really banging tune.

New-Milkman responds:

Thanks! I didn't really know a whole lot about building reeses, but I'm definatly working on mixing much better ones, as well as creating my own drum sounds (or at least as much as I can). Because like I said, the drums are sampled from Nav's "X-mas gift". And the second hit you mention is probably one that I threw in myself for a bit of variety.

[Srings and Synths]

It seems..

I love the melodies, really catchy, but it seems a bit smashed. Some of the layers overlap at times.

What did you use for your orchestral samples? I really like them.

Musically the song is very impressive, just the levels in the beginning. And the saw synth seems a bit too piercing for the song at time...

Over all good song.

I used the orchestral symphony jam pack for GarageBand

You could use a bit more compression/ output gain on your snare, it sounds a bit 'tinny'

also throw a heavier hitting bass in there, it's dnb :) I like the flow, needs more dynamic evolution too, gets a bit old.

The production is there though, good work! Keep it up :)

TheJay responds:

Thanks, I might redo this song some day. I'll post some 'bigger' sounding music soon, just starting to get the hang of the genre and producing in general

[These Mistakes are Mine Alone]

Amazing tune

Amazing tune, the highs hurt me ears in the beginning though :(
