Man, this update and being able to automate stuff in Kontakt, Battery and other VSTs is breathing new life into Reason for me! Anywho, here's a little DnB track I worked on over the weekend. Most of the track was just playing with different VSTs in the "I wonder if I can" sense and they started to come together to form a song. Still trying to figure some stuff out, but here's where I'm at currently.

How was I supposed to know "don't touch" meant to not push the big...red...button?

Love the progression in this. The track has more of a dreamy feel though rather than the vibe of a sea monster. :)

Yeah definitely a solid track! I really like the piano on top of it all.

There's angst. Then urgency. Then purpose. Then urgency again. A nihilistic fatalism tempered by a little hope. But alas, resignation and...

The changes in mood are top notch. It's telling a story!

The piano is executed very well and I liked the drum grooves. They effectively make the breakdowns so that the listener can get a chance to take a break and anticipate the upcoming build-up.

This is grimey! Love this, your bass is nice and dirty, again it's been said previously but your pianos are well executed and your progression is ace, I find some dnb tracks become stale after a while this on the other hand does not! :) excellent job! :thumbs_up:

Thanks, everyone! This one was just exciting cause I was testing the waters with the 9.5 VST update and excited that I could use Kontakt instruments *AND* automate parameters in there. The bass is actually a concoction of Output Sounds Analog Strings with some recorded knob twistery and some reason FX for a little grime on top. I should make more drum and bass tonight... yes, this is a good plan!

Awesome!
I like the high energy alfa beat and the contrasting fragile quiet piano playing with other humble sounds in the first part.
Great work!
