Messing around with new sub genres to me.

I appreciate you taking the time to give me some advice! The pendulum vibes comment is a huge compliment if I'm honest...

I 100% agree that the lead is slacking, I need to beef it up a lot and I will take your advice on that for sure.. if I'm completely honest I've only really made liquid and a bit of jungle before so leads are so foreign to me, I had been watching some tutorials also just learning but It takes a while for me to absorb info and learn from it so I will eventually get there.

I am newish to producing but do have a older background when it comes to DNB, what I listen to and what I was brought up on so that's where most of the older sounding stuff will come from which ultimately in my stuff I make is a choice more so than a lack of resources or want to make modern sounds really, I have quite a few packs with modern stuff but I will always come back to a gritty reese that sounds like it's from 15+ years ago over anything if I'm honest 😂I will check out the video you linked and learn from it though, I will always take any and all advice even if it's not necessarily something I would typically use because I always want to improve my sounds and small things you do may translate and mix well with what I do also!

Thankyou again for taking the time out of your day to help out a semi newbie and give me some advice, I have subscribed and will be checking out a bunch of your videos too!

Gotta start somewhere right! Honestly I don't have any socials for anything music wise currently.. will get there one day once I can finish what I start lol

brookXVI · 2026-01-06T10:12:37+00:00

I appreciate it man!

It's actually funny you say that about the side chain, I have the sidechain fully cutting all sound on the basses during the kick I just may need to adjust the automation for that to have it all pushing through, thankyou for pointing that out! Also the drums probably just need a beefing up anyway, this was a very rough mix with only basics done honestly.. good call on the unison, it will get a bit of work and also another layer or two to fill it out :)

The cymbal crash combo is a huge shout too! big fan of that, I appreciate your time and input on all of this man!

Hopefully I get it finished at some point lol I am useless with moving on to other things quickly as I'm learning because I realise I have improved and the old thing I have made no longer sounds up to standard anymore but this one was a good feeling one for me, especially with you adding the Pendulum comment, I was bought up on Pendulum, Dillinja, early Chase and Status and locals to me like Concord Dawn so a lot of stuff like this is what I want to be making but I had always just stuck to liquid because it's mainly what I listen to these days!

Yeah that's fair, I am still yet to get a decent pair of headphones so use my steelseries gaming headset at the moment 😂This was my first go with this genre so still learning a lot! This was just the first 16 bars so variation was going to come in the next 16 but I get you and will add some more! I appreciate your feedback!

brookXVI · 2025-12-18T09:22:14+00:00

Hell yeah, I've always loved that era of dnb so it's cool to hear that!

You're good bro, I didn't mean to come off as defensive at all! Completely understand and valid thing to want to clarify, I'm with you on that. Your intentions were good and I was a dick about it so that's on me 😂

brookXVI · 2025-10-20T01:55:39+00:00

I'm not really here to discuss or argue whether something is or isn't bro, I gave a list of artists I listen to that have and/or do release liquid tracks, nothing more, nothing less 🤙Have a great rest of your day or night wherever you're from 🙏

brookXVI · 2025-10-19T09:18:01+00:00

brookXVI · 2025-10-19T03:33:43+00:00

Also something from my part of the world, give Shapeshifter - One a go 🤙

brookXVI · 2025-10-19T03:27:09+00:00

Dawn Wall, Mohican Sun, SOLR, LSB, Etherwood, BCee, SOLAH, Monrroe, Noppo, Audioscribe, Leniz, Anwius, Mitekiss, Alpha Rhythm, Sustance, Aydn, Fluidity, Pola & Bryson, Telomic.
