It's all just music, some of it's good, most of it's shite, I can't tell House from a nice little bungalow with a plastic pseudo victorian conservatory on the back,but it doesn't matter what it's called as long as you like it.

okay well what ever it is i need some help getting the right sounds. i have a couple more defined questions. how do i get massive sounding drums, a good example of what i want is in the prodigy's invaders must die. also what are some good ways of getting sub bass and bass sounds out of live?

[x0b]

the reason you are not getting much help is because these questions have been asked and answered a multitude of times all over the net. if you want to make drum and bass specifically, then head over to http://www.dogsonacid.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=4, where you will find more than enough info to get you started.

good luck.

[tw1nstates]

Look on teh eww toob...

[fazedup]

Drum and bass is LTJ Bukem, Blame, blu mar ten, not the prodigy! And pendulum am commercial sold out crap! Is a sin to try to call prodigy and pendulum drum and bass! Photek is like the Jedi master to drum and bass! Did make me laugh though

[funky shit]

start of with some drums, then add some bass

I think you're aiming a little high there. There's a reason there aren't a lot of artists that sound like Prodigy. It's not a sound you can learn and just throw together in a couple weeks, unlike most of the hit music on beatport.

But you should probably check out this video. It shows you how to recreate Smack My Bitch Up using Live. If nothing else it will show you some techniques on how to get that sound.

agreed, but only pre-2000.

[v0ins315]

Who do you listen to or class as drum n bass?

pendulum, prodigy. although they are both big beat as well

1) go to dogsonacid.com
2) Make a thread asking how to create drum and bass like pendulum and prodigy.
3) Fail + Humiliation
4) /wrists
5) jump out window before dying due to loss of blood.
6) If still alive, rinse and repeat.

Pretty sure I saw Computer Music had done a DNB special or at least a monthly MAG with a dnb focus. Go to Comp Music website and order the back issue for the DNB. It'll give you walkthroughs and a n ice lil DVD full of samples for DNB etc.
