These are the first two DNB tracks I've done, would love some feedback from fans of the genre if you can spare a few mins...thnx!

First DNB trax...
Re: First DNB trax...
sunny days is a nice piece! very smooth drum processing.
imo the incoming reese/bass at 3.07 could take a bit of compression to fatten the kick.
i like the build-up a lot with all its bridges.
discarded starts to work from 5.06 for me. i wasn't very attracted by the pad before that, but that's personal taste.
the base from around 8.00 could have more pump and i'm missing some highs. btw, the snare should be center.
(interesting that i tell someone while being lazy about highs myself
)
keep at it! good work!

Re: First DNB trax...
Hey thanks for the props and feedback, very inspiring to hear someone is into it. Thanks for the tips as well. When you say "the snare should be center" I'm not sure what you mean though?
Re: First DNB trax...
hi!
i meant that when listening to it the snare's pan was rather left. usually the snare should be perceived in the middle, center.
looking forward hearing more of your stuff!

Re: First DNB trax...
I like them, very well arranged, some lovely deep sounds.
[Bit too long for my tastes, I like the chunky rhythms you got going more than the more noodly parts, but that's just down to my ADD I guess.]

Re: First DNB trax...
Thanks for the props, you guys are making me feel a bit less of a rookie! As for the snare I'll have to check it, wondering if I moved a pan by accident somewhere. Thnx!
Re: First DNB trax...
Sunny Days is brilliant. works on a more experimental level.
I prefered the first few minutes of discarded to some of the later parts but thats just my own preference to drum sounds. The first pattern was deep!
Big up!
Bosh

Re: First DNB trax...
Cheers Bosh, I'm stoked that people are digging it for the most part. Definitely giving me confidence to do more and try to take it to another level...thanks.
Re: First DNB trax...
Unique melodic dnb for sure.
I like when the bass comes in around 3:05 on Sunny Days as some1 else pointed out on the soundcloud. With Discarded, I like it when the percussion comes in later in the track, but it is hard to move to at :50 when it comes in sparsely. I can be guilty of using sparse odd rhythms at times myself.. just an observation.
