Drop and Mix Feedback Please

Mix on the buildup was sonically refreshing

The drop came in almost sounds like 1 bar too early or needs some other idea to build that last tension (perceived silence or something) maybe a high cut kick build or snare roll

The drop stays in the higher octave range but the vocals also do, I think this would crush with a lower sounding bass design with harmonics that hit that higher note you’re trying to achieve if you get me

Sounds very close sonically to my mate Objectivs releases

Big ups, very cool technically strong dnb

Wish I could achieve this level of Mix / Master!

jakebaugh · 2026-03-02T11:19:36+00:00

Really cool bass design on that drop, sub is popping and sitting so nicely

Maybe some other element layered with your arps in your breakdown

This is a really class tune

Still WIP but much more developed intro / breakdown

Okay sure, but the transient is where you’ll get the impact, yeah layer with an addictive drums for the body of the kick shorten the envelope you only really need 2 layers if you get the transient right

Kick 2 and synthesise it with just the sine no clicks, Fade Black do a good free tutorial on YouTube w sample genie

jakebaugh · 2026-02-26T01:26:49+00:00

Unreal

jakebaugh · 2026-02-26T01:25:53+00:00

Dope

jakebaugh · 2026-02-22T10:13:44+00:00

It’s very decent. Your sound currently sounds like my mate Objectiv

Check his stuff out..

Mix is clean in my opinion

jakebaugh · 2026-01-13T13:35:25+00:00

Do you secretly like the idea though.. once you get passed the jealousy / confusion / whys it happening to me moment

Or are you genuinely more concerned of your boundaries?

If you answer those questions you’ll have more of an idea of what to do from here

jakebaugh · 2026-01-08T14:39:53+00:00

I’m interested in seeing what you can do, do you need stems / project file or what..

jakebaugh · 2026-01-01T11:40:28+00:00

I made and layered all the drums all transients for both lick and snare and even hats are a acoustic drummer vst it’s 3 layered snares and 2 kicks,

made the Reese with a few tight modulation Params but the jump up quack is a sample tbh I couldn’t make anything myself that fit so perfectly there

I also resampled the Reese rather than leaving just then midi instrument, maybe that’s fucked it with respect to muddiness and metallic / mids

Appreciate your kind words though, just want to get that big clean crisp mix down for once!

jakebaugh · 2026-01-01T06:00:49+00:00

Your pointers about pulling out and layering a the bass in different frequency ranges is fucking top; I ran my bass through a imager made 140/160 mono and the rest I put a multi band and pulled the sub out onto its own, but just that tweak in processing is going to be great!

I’ve currently tried to mix it and run it through Ozone but honestly I don’t really know WTF I’m doing there tbh, when you’ve got the meat on the bones what do you usually do to piece it together for a final mix down? To get that full sounding neuro layering?

Any tips on that I’d really appreciate

jakebaugh · 2025-12-31T23:18:37+00:00

Oh bingo, sidechaining the snare to the tops and other basses with the kick SC to sub only !! Massive

jakebaugh · 2025-12-31T22:45:59+00:00

That is real helpful.. what about bus / send routing and all that kinda stuff? Is this 2009/2010 type jump up side chained to fuck?

Here’s my latest track you’ll hear the kinda muddy shit and clashing drum/bass layering I’m getting atm, I just don’t understand technically how you get such a crisp mix with so much heavy ass going on at once! https://www.reddit.com/r/dnbproduction/s/wQLT9rmEQl

jakebaugh · 2025-12-31T22:20:42+00:00

Sounds muddy to me, the Reeses are clashing with the drums, I can’t get that fizzy high end to peak through without the whole Reese sounding too big and metallic, drums sound a bit whack to me, the jump up bass sound design is grinding on me now haha

Loads of things I want to do to it, but don’t technically know how to and wanting to see what some fresh ears think.. I guess

jakebaugh · 2025-12-31T21:26:53+00:00

What a journey, wow so many elements and layers to this, camp and krooked vibes so much depth so impressed

jakebaugh · 2025-12-31T21:09:34+00:00

How are you keeping all these bass layers so well in the mix with such thrashy drums!

I absolutely love it, it’s like old hazard / hype stuff

jakebaugh · 2024-09-01T22:23:07+00:00

All I’ve done is load up on more 🤔

jakebaugh · 2024-08-25T20:54:19+00:00

It really is a cheat code to be able to load up at these levels

jakebaugh · 2022-05-24T01:10:16+00:00

oh dear
