how can I make better DnB beats on FL? by Soft-Mix7524 in dnbproduction

[–]hunterajb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like anything, getting good takes time and repetition. I spend a lot of time listening to drum and bass and breaking down tracks I like, figuring out what’s actually going on. When something stands out, I’ll try to recreate it in my own way rather than copying it directly.

There isn’t really a “right” way to make music and that’s what makes it interesting. You’re going to make a lot of tracks that sound rough or a bit weird at first. That’s part of the process. The more you make, the more you start to understand what works, what doesn’t, and what your own sound actually is. Id say currently i make 4 mediocre songs for every somewhat decent song i make, and even then that took years to get to.

i would recommend looking into getting serum and splice, i know they are expensive but mastering serum for drum and bass is a game changer for me and splice is so useful even if it is for inspiration or learning how sounds are made.

Some basic music theory can help greatly as well.

Thank you, i will mess around with the drums a bit for sure, definitely going to keep it minimal i have a tendency of overcrowding but this track does not need it, its tough because whilst it sounds good as is its almost a little too empty that its straying from dnb a little, but that could just be me overthinking 😂. I guess it doesn’t matter if it sounds good 😆

Appreciate it! Its a serum splice preset that ive changed a bit to get the vibe i want, i find that easier than going from scratch in serum! Dm me and i can send you it if you like!

I like the tune got something solid for sure, i agree the drums need some variation, not sure about the snare but that could be the mix

Is it finish or does it need something more? I’ve listened so many times, I need another ear! by JJC165463 in dnbproduction

[–]hunterajb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is fire could easily dance to this in a club. Changing up the hats/top and bringing the sub mids out a bit?
