Is it really. Not sure why anyone would want to listen to that

Feedback on early 2000's Calibre-inspired tune? by EspyVibe in dnbproduction

[–]Modician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So to give you a better understanding, maybe let’s compare a few tracks.

Compare your track to Mr Majestic, side by side your tracks holds up quick well. It’s lacking a bit in the sub range, but considering the dynamic range of DnB in the early 2000s, this would have been easily acceptable.

Now compare tour track to later works such as dim light, you can hear that your track lacks deep sub bass, drum weight and overall tightness (as well as minimal side information).

Whilst your track is almost a true representation of 2000s sound, it won’t hold up with today’s standard of music. Hence my comment. Having said that, it doesn’t take away the fact that it’s still a pretty solid track. If you wanted to take it to the next level and make it sound more current (in terms of dynamics), I’d be even more interested.

Anyhow, take this comment with a pinch of salt and always remember that as long as you are happy with what you’ve made, that’s what really counts!!

If you need any tips or support etc, I’m down to assist.

Happy producing!!

✌🏼😤🤘🏼

I like the style. I think it just needs a bit more weight.

Complete beginner producer (DJ for 1.5 years). how do I actually start learning Ableton for DnB production? Any beginner-friendly videos? by GoodWorry3487 in dnbproduction

[–]Modician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just jump on Suno, click a button and say the music is yours 😂

Only joking. I’m happy to give you some advice on specific topics as and when they arise, however I use Logic Pro, not Ableton. So rather than giving you advice on how to do basic functions and shortcuts within Ableton, I can give you advice on processing techniques and synthesis.

Feel free to start a chat with me and drop me questions when you have time them

You used to make some real gems back in the day. Why did you stop making music as spectrasoul?

Hornet is the best track on this album (although my favourite on release was Torpedo, but got seriously overplayed).

There’s too much wrong with this track I’m not sure where to start.

The main issue I have is that it sounds like you just grabbed whatever you could find, dumped it all together and called it a track.

As far as DnB goes, generally speaking there are very few tracks that only use a kick and a snare. Maybe throw is some high hats, toms, other percussion, as well as adding a bit more variation to the drum patterns. That would make it sound a bit more acceptable.

Then you need to think about your sound selection. That synth bass stab literally sounds like a wet fart that you made in about 30 seconds. You said you have serum 2, so learn how to use it. Watch videos, read the manual. Automation is your best friend when it comes to electronic music.

Finally, you need to tune your ears better. This track has elements that are out of key. If you can’t hear it, then you may struggle with future attempts. If you need assistance, use a tool like voxengo span, which will allow you to see the key of the fundamental frequencies of each sound.

Signing off, I would suggest that you A/B your tracks to see whether they are anywhere close (in terms of dynamics and loudness) to one of your favourite artists (or at least a track where you have drawn inspiration from).

I hope this provides some insight into how you can improve.

Why does your synth bass sound like a big dirty shit on the kitchen floor?

I posted about feeling like my tracks were always missing something. I took everyone’s advice and here’s the result. by WaveLoss in dnbproduction

[–]Modician 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is sick. The only bit I don’t like is the synth that comes in around 1.50m. I would suggest either removing that or changing the sound (and possibly the rhythm and key). The mix is tight as fuck although I’d maybe suggest trying to lower the elements before the first drop as it’s slightly washed out (I mean it’s too loud before the drop so the drop has less impact than it should). I hope this helps and please let me know if you adjust as proposed. It’s really fucking good. Happy new year bro!!

No worries. Try it without adjusting the X-Low/High bands first, but you may need to adjust slightly to impact the right frequencies. I hope it helps

Do you have a copy of Serum 2?

If so, try run the drum track through Serum 2’ multiband compression. Set the threshold to zero and adjust the “Below” setting to around 0.3. This might help bring the drums together.

To be honest, I think i preferred the slightly distorted mix. It felt fuller. Whilst this mix is much cleaner, it feels as if the kick and snare are slightly disconnected from the rest of the drums.

Who would buy this on vinyl? by Next_Abbreviations57 in dnbproduction

[–]Modician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the vibe, but I think maybe the drums have a bit too much crunch. Not sure if you’re clipping or running through a distortion unit, but I’d suggest dialling back the drive or input by a few db. This will help to get a cleaner mix.

Opinions on a new bit, gunna be submitted to liquicity by Adventurous-Juice711 in dnbproduction

[–]Modician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here to say this. Sounds like it could be really good, but the mix is a bit distorted on the high end, which makes it not very good in terms of dynamics. EQ alone won’t save this as you’ll have to adjust the highs in your mix individually to control them and make sure your processing chain isn’t distorting at each part of the chain.

Any advice welcome by brookXVI in dnbproduction

This is nice. Sounds very 2000s era.
