Man I enjoyed listening to them, they were great in my opinion. Wild Sky was my favorite song out of the three.

I liked Drum'n'Bass a lot, but I think it needs a title change to fit the song.

Had a quick listen to Wild Sky and Drum'n'bass ...

I can appreciate the creative vision behind Wild Sky, but I'm not so sure on the excecution .. it sounds like everything that wasn't a vocal sample was just thrown in.

As for drum'n'bass .. we need to get you some actual pads, haha. The intro sounds so disjointed. It's not exactly drum'n'bass, either. It might even be a bit fast for DnB. Right now, it's three chords in the same sequence .. over, and over again. Doesn't make for a very interesting song. The ending comes out of no where .. it's like, "Song, song, song, so-ENDING!"

My two cents.

Hey there Neji, just listened to some of your work~

ElectroShock - Not a bad track, the claps were very loud in the beginning. It moves from one section to another rather quickly (though i know it's a short track), you've got to focus more on building on each section and the transitions that move them along. You have some good ideas here, they just never really shine through due to simple production and dare i say lack of effort/time spent.

Wild Sky - I like the synthwork in here and the use of sound FXs. Did you sequence these out yourself? Comparing ElectroShock and this track, it sounds like you spent more time on this one. Unfortunately again, it's just one step to the other A > B > C > D > End. Keep it up, try to focus on expanding your ideas.

How long have you been working on music?

etherstyle: wow! a detail comment! good job!

Djmeas: know what? one week ago....

higher quality that I was expecting, for dead certain. I completely agree with etherstyle in his critique of your D'n'B, but I have to say, what's probably crippling you the most right now is your reliance on samples of low quality. If you're gonna be sampling in your music, even for things like a snare drum, you've gotta make sure it's of high quality, otherwise it brings the overall sound of the production down tremendously.

For someone who's been doing this for a week, you're rocking.

Hive made a great point - samples do a lot. However, don't rely on them ...

This is what I want you to do, if you're up to it: take a look at your favorite music, and identify what genres they are. Then, find as much of that as you can. Listen to it, pick apart the main components of the song. Then emulate them.

From there, add your own flavor. Right now, the best goal (in my mind) isn't to pioneer anything. You're just getting your feet wet. Learn what's currently out there, then branch out. The greatest musicians weren't born great, right?

You've got potential. Run with it.

thanks, guys. anyway, 1 song added to my blog. i made this before i read your posts...

x0_000 · 05-26-2007, 12:37 PM

The songs could definitely use some improvement, that's for sure. It's pretty good for starters, though. Same comments as everyone else concerning Drum 'n' Bass; the chords are too repetitive and the drumwork could use a lot of polishing.

nejino_hito · 05-26-2007, 10:05 PM

ugh...if that's true, what should i change the drum sound? should i change it into claps or something?

aether · 05-27-2007, 12:35 AM

Do you have any drum and bass on you? Like, commercial stuff?

Listen to how they do it .. it's usually ..

KXXX SXXX XXKX SXXX

Where K is kick, and S is snare. The hihat is set every second note, or every single one .. like

HXHX HXHX HXHX HXHX

or

HHHH HHHH HHHH HHHH

... depending how you want to mix it up.

A ride sometimes sits every four beats.

RXXX RXXX RXXX RXXX

Oh yeah ... for DnB, you might want to slow it down a bit. I think 165-175 is pretty safe. If you want to be super accurate, Wiki it.
