"Mix it better"
date: September 22, 2009
And then it'll be good. It's a good concept; it's just that the saws are overpowering everything (especially at around 1:22). It also has no sub. Drum & bass needs sub, man. That's pretty much it there, but now on to the drums. Your kick and snare don't sound like drum & bass kicks and snares. The kick has no transient; it's kind of like "flop." Just layer it with something that has more of a hit to it, and perhaps EQ and compress them together. The snare sounds muffled. Not only because the saws are overpowering it, but because it just does. It's the sample. It sounds more like a rock snare. It does have good thickness though, so I'd layer it with a more synthetic snare, and once again, EQ and compress them together. Also, make the kick and snare stick out in the mix. Good hat work.
So overall, just fix the kick and snare, and mix it better, and then it'll be good.
