My usual style of Drum & Bass with melodies inspired by uplifting trance. The usual recipe of fast breakbeats, supersaws and female vocals... hope you guys like it

Not a fan of the tune itself but the production is pretty competent...mixdown especially, nothing is getting lost or overpowering anything else

I have to disagree I very much like the song (although I love dnb, trance and anything cheesy tbh!)

Mixdown wise it really does sound good man well done. Crit I would have is maybe a bit too much ambience, the sounds could use a lil less, sound closer and still sound real nice and lush. Big up!

yeah i think you have to be admittedly a fan of the cheesier flavor of trance to dig this song i just wish i could've layered the drums more for an old-skool dnb sound but i had to layer the supersaws so much to try to fatten them up, that they took up way too big of a frequency range and would've drowned out the additional frequencies needed for a proper rolling dnb pattern. so i kept the shuffle simple, made ghost snares by changing the velocity, pitch, a/d/s/r from a one-shot snare and called it a day.

thanks for the feedback! the only other critique i've gotten is that it's a little too long. now in retrospect, i think cutting out a phase of supersaws and cutting a phase out of the ambience would help the song pack a little more punch by not dragging on quite as long.
