UPDATE: I put slight variations on the volume of the hh hits and switched the hh sample (per multiple recommendations, as well as used a side chain compressor from the kick to the bass and the snare to the main backing melody. I'm relatively new to using side chain effects, so I hope I'm using this correctly. Can anyone notice a difference in the mix from the original? Feel free to leave advice on this.
This week I really wanted to push myself further out of my usual element and decided to shoot for a jazzy drum n bass type song. I found I had a lot of fun producing this track and will most likely try my hand at more drum n bass production in the future. That being said, I would appreciate any feedback from heads with experience on drum n bass production. If you have any pointers or things you think I might try different on my next DnB track, please feel free to let me know. I'm pretty happy overall with how this song turned out. There's a couple little things I'd tweak before I'd consider officially releasing it.
For this song I used the following:
- DM1 - The Drum Machine
- Logic Pro (various VSTs)
- Alto Saxophone
As with my previous entries in weekly music, I've sprinkled spoken word samples throughout the track. Can you guess which film this week's samples are from?
