A happy little DnB loop. Playing with formant and some busy percussion, plus a djembe drum sample. From my album, Popsicle.

Holy shit, this has some old school newgrounds drum and bass vibes. Sounds like something Rawrthaas would have put out back in the day minus one really hard amen break sample. Add a cliche amen break and you have jungle GOLD.

Not that I could convince you to open up an old song file. I have a hard time digging through old tracks, myself or others. Could you give me a couple tracks that your proud of for me to listen to?

Shout out January 2009, go listen to Rawrthaas right now and drop harder breaks :D

Oh God all of my old material is literally the worst. I think the only thing that did well was Acceptance, Attrition, and Skyfall. And I had no idea what I was doing. Hardest break, probably Overdosed. Some of the better writing I've done, Flight or Clear Skies -- they're basically the same song commissioned by two different people. I've been thinking of revisiting that one with metal in mind what with some decent lead writing going on... Claustrophobia is an avante-garde piece... Non-ethanol and Byzantium are pretty much companion pieces, trap. Wave After Wave is a video-gamey techno piece with some swang. Song of the Dragonborn is the Skyrim theme as elevator music. Everything 2017 to present I'm fairly okay with except for I Need a Hero, which I need to go and redo with the leads sitting lower in the mix.

Basically every piece over a year ago is going to have serious mix issues excepting some of my trap. I don't know how to stress how much I had no idea about that stuff LOL. I could probably open those project files but the problem remains that I no longer have any of the instruments I made them with bahahaha

Thanks for the recommendation! Send me a PM with some of your old stuff in return, eh?

the track sounds muffled, kinda like droopy, you should bring the percussion out and give it a pop.

interesting synths, honestly, i love the glitches too, the track just doesn't sound right, it's off. do you have any filters on your drum loops? you need to make you drums stand out, give them a little signature.

also, pan the drums to the left and the right, you don't have to have everything right in the smack middle. give some variation bro.

ADR3-N responds:

Thanks for the review. Part of the muffled sound is from a high pass filter on the drums at some points, and I probably should have made the kick a little more distinct. It's not the usual gritty sample I use, sitting on subby frequencies instead. I'll admit I really did let percussion slip this time around, focusing instead on the weird little synths (theremin, dulcimer/harpsichord, etc.)
