Another great but short song.You are a musical prodigy man.

I've spoken... Sorta...

Most of the below comments have summarised what I have to say about this song and your definition of DnB.

Drum 'n' Bass is the name of the genre. It's only a name. You have to realise that this is not Drum 'n' Bass. I'd file this under Misc. or Techno. If you want this to fall under DnB, give the drums a more racy and break-ish feel to it. And make it faster - slightly. I counted the BPM and it ranks in at 100BPM. So you need to make this a relative 80BPM faster.

As said before, listen to other examples. I'd suggest 'Halflife' by Stogmaster, and maybe 'Black Radio Kosher' by GrandPian. If you can analyse what makes those songs fall into the DnB category, then you're gonna be a whole lot closer to crafting a proper DnB song.

Now, don't come on in saying that I'm wrong like the rest. Because in fact, you're the one in the wrong. Either live with the fact that this isn't DnB and you put it in the wrong category, or just get out of Newgrounds and take your stubborn attitude with you.

I'll give the song itself a 4/10. It's a bit boring and thin. You need to add more of a breakbeat feel to it.

I'll give YOU 2/10 for not accepting the fact that you made an honest mistake. Just admit it. This isn't DnB. It's a fair way off, as well. Denying it will only make you look like more of a retard.

After calculating both the above scores, overall I rate this 3 stars out of 10.

No. Stop.

Not stop making music, stop being ignorant. I quote, "but either way this is technically drum n bass because it has drum and bass." No. Just because it has drums and a bass doesn't mean it's drum and bass. Jenni-Harry4eva3 is right. He knows what he's talking about. I just want to say, don't look up ParagonX9 for examples of DnB. The only DnB song by PX9 is Defection. Also, Zero-Bass is good, but not really DnB. He's more dance-y. Look at Koriigahn (Para) and ZENON. Also look up some pro stuff on youtube or something.

As for this song, the bass is boring, the drums are boring (wtf no hihats?) and it's overall pretty boring. Sorry.

I'd leave a long-ass review about how to make DnB here, but I just did on somebody else's song, so too bad.

6/10

great

it's great but bit short

*sigh* Grasshopper...

You have much to learn if you think this is drum and bass. It may have drums... and it may have bass... but that does not mean that it qualifies as Drum and Bass.

For one... there is no sign with the drums that it is drum and bass. There's no feel of a break, or that generic "Bum pish, bum-pish", or even a feel for the use of an amen break-beat, or something like an amen break. Although the beats may feel like it is.. it's just too broken to be a definite beat. This mostly feels like techno, to be honest. =/

And I think the guy below gave a very vague definition of drum and bass. Drum and bass are fast paced songs that "usually" range from 160-180 bpm, and 180+ in some other cases, even up to 190. Some songs include the use of an amen break, or an emulation of an amen break, or a break that contains that sort of feel. And that's the drums alone.

For the bass, it usually isn't broken and in continuous in the same note like in this song. It's continuous and various and emulates the melody of the song, and in most cases has a wub-like feel to them when used, and is actually exciting and not just one note the entire song.

Now, understand that this is my take on Drum and Bass, for other people may have different opinions.

But.. on to the matters of this song for the moment. I like the japanese like feel to it when you used the strings. Kick comes in strong but... why is a bit muddy afterwards? It should've kept going strong.. and as for the snare.. or what sounds like a clap o.o sound okay I guess, nice and strong. Bass was okay... but it gets annoying after a while. Even with the cutoff frequency. There is just no variant to it. It gets boring and makes me lose interest. =/

So.. I shall give you a 5/5 for vote and 8/10. I think you should look up some drum and bass songs here on NG for a better look at the genre. Try people like Koriigahn, ParagonX9, Zero-Bass, or myself cause I'm just immersed in drum and bass myself.

So without further ado, an interesting song, but it just doesn't do it for me, but you did well. Keep it goin', and have a good day, sir. Keep it real~
