(Drum and Bass) Just One Night

[Popey]

My latest drum and bass track. Apt that I could get this finished on valentine's day considering the romantic nature of the title.

Any comments or feedback would be appreciated

the high-synth entering at 0-51 is too flat for too long, needs more dynamics, like when you filter it up later. The bridge is too long, at least start a build-up with hi-hats and/or snares at 3-10 when the lady says @make this last forever@, needs vocal or anything else happening after 3-30 in the high-mids/highs, 4-11 would be a good place to end the coda.

Thanks EdwardKiy that is very useful feedback. The timesignature info has really helped me identify the areas you mention and agree with your comments. I was a bit confused about what you said about the coda as I assumed you mean a vocoder which I am not using on this track (although I think I may have used a vocoder wavetable when creating the arpeggio). Will have to look at this when home from work.

Thank you for taking the time to help me.

You're very welcome! Sorry, I meant coda as in structure.

I think around ¬4-10 is the strongest point to end it

Also, I may be completely wrong. Keep us posted, interesting how this plays out!

Ah I see (thanks for the link to help me understand what you meant). You will have to excuse my ignorance around music terminology (and structure)as come from dj background.

Cool track! I would say that it's a touch too bassy. It's really massive sounding. But of course that may be precisely your goal, and that's just my opinion. Otherwise it sounds great.

good tune I like it

Good track. Since i'm more into dark sounding stuff I'm glad that only the title is romantic . The bass drum could use some of the 80-160 Hz range.

Hi thanks for the comments and feedback. I am currently working on a new track and also updating this one taking on board the above feedback.

Thanks for taking the time to help and will post updated version once complete
