So yeah, this is a Drum and Bass remix of the Underground Water Channel theme. I was originally planning to do a far more chilled out version of this, but for some reason I imagined this track would be cool as Drum and Bass so I went at it and before I knew it I was having a blast. Comments and critique would be highly appreciated, and thank you all for reading. =D

The low pitch synth that plays at the beginning and end seems too muddy and overbearing which makes the melody and other things hard to hear. EQing out some of its lower frequencies should help with that. The kick drum seems a bit thin so doubling it up with a kick that has more thump could help.

The arrangements too conservative aswell and the drumline could be better. Not much help I know but I gave the thread a bump atleast so hopefully someone else can help out lol

Alrighty then. I'm rather happy with the arrangement, despite it being rather conservative.

Version 2:

Changes:


Beefed up the percussion.
Used sidechaining to keep the wobble bass from overpowering the kick.
EQ'd the hell out of the wobble bass to make it less muddy.
Put a few drum loops in the main drum section to make it more fun.
Beefed up the wobble bass a little bit.
Increased the volume of the non wobble bass.
