I wanted to get some more feedback before I submit this. I don't usually make DnB so feel free to criticize me as much as you want! P.S. There's also a small cameo of this somewhere in there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p45gdP2OKmU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I hear a bit of overcompression throughout. Not sure if an acoustic kit is necessarily the best way to go; after optimal processing, I imagine the snare would "sound" overcompressed, even though it might not be. I think you could make the snare work anyway, but the kick should be stronger and more thumpy. The kick might be one of the current causes for the overcompression though, so be careful on it.

Ivan Hakštok Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 New version, same link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/93696675/wilyarty.mp3 I've messed around a bit with the compressors and sidechaining, there could still be some overcompression but I checked the song without a limiter on the master channel and the track didn't go above +1 dB even on the louder parts. Kick drum should also be a bit louder now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) Hm... you might wanna try to get that cymbal a bit louder; it gets buried much of the time, and I think it makes the song sound more overcompressed than it actually is. The piano fits in fine, but sample quality might be brought up as an issue at 1:08 based on hearing the lower notes. The lower notes are also a bit muddy. 1:53 has the most evident example of the amount of overcompression you currently have. Also, the lead at 2:36 and on might have a little bit too much treble. The kick sounds better, and the acoustic snare works a bit better now. Edited August 9, 2013 by timaeus222 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
