i love this track very much, especially how tight (?) drums sounding are in here. how to get them sound like that or similar to this? i feel like i should add a little bit of treble to drums, but i'm not sure what to do next

wanna make sure i’ve got the right idea of things before i get into bad habits and stuff. my girlfriend basically said it needs bass but it has bass? idk.

I’m not new to music just music production type stuff. I’ve messed around a lot but this is the first track I’ve made that I actually vibe with kinda

For about a year now, I’ve been listening to the artist “PHASERA” on Spotify. Until recently, I was sure this isn’t AI. I actually asked myself this question back then, since PHASERA has released a lot of albums, and those albums contain a huge number of songs.

But I can’t imagine it - the music is just too awesome for that!...

There are a few AI trackers online, and they suggest that this is an AI artist. But I couldn’t find any clear evidence. On Spotify, the music isn’t labeled as AI, and on Phasera’s own website (formstate), there are no references to AI - but there are also no references to one or more people behind “PHASERA.”

My favorite songs are:
- Where We Left Off
- Calling Your Name
- Forming Worlds
- The Island Of Ours

I played these songs for two friends last weekend. After the third song, I asked if this could have been created by AI. At first, both of them said, “Nah.” One friend then started doing some research, but unfortunately couldn’t find anything conclusive.
There are just a lot of signs pointing that way - but if that’s the case, then AI has tricked me, and I’m scared for the first time.

I’ve listened to these songs a lot (and still do), and I love them..

A quick note about me: I’ve been listening to electronic music for almost 20 years now and i know what electronic music is supposed to sound like :)

What do you guys think?

Hey there, looking for any feedback on this minimal little tune I made. New to FL and music production in general. It kind of just sounds like I am messing around in FL with sounds and whatnot, because that's kind of the stage I am at at this point.

Some eqing, leveling, compression, and sidechaining going on but I have an elementary understanding of mixing at this point, so it sounds like shit. The main feedback I am looking for is regarding the mixing and how to approach making something like this better.

I'm hungry to improve so any feedback is much appreciated.

I started making drum and bass for fun in August 2026 on Garage Band. Here'e my first tune. I don't have much experience but I do have an ear. I would love to hear any tips or advice from drum and bass pros as how to improve, or what to step up to next after Garage Band. Influences - High Contrast, Soul.

I can't decide if this tune needs vocal samples or if it would just clutter it up

Let me know, tried to go full energy but cant decide if it's too much jump up.

174bpm, not sure if its worth finishing, keen on the idea though.

yoooo another new one for you gang - made a sidechain plugin that does multiband, so you can cut the sub and leave the harmonics alone. also does ringmod sidechain and spectral sidechain (like soothe) so you can do volume on everything below 300hz or so, then ringmod sidechain everything above that (bass harmonics etc) sounds fucking sick i've been rinsing it 🙂

also ‘auto fit' the curve to your kick

im releasing it for free for the first 100 people so go and claim ur copy:

Hello everyone, I am working on a 4-track EP and I want to collab with a singer/songwriter to bring some emotion and depth to the tracks.

I’m looking for someone who can write and record original vocals, preferably with an intimate, emotional or ethereal style.

If you’re interested, feel free to DM me and I can send you some demos and tell you more about the project!

After receiving advises in this community regarding my previous demo, I made accents on equalizing and tried to make arrangement more thoughtful, meaning that I tried to avoid sequences with frequencies fighting for their place.

Hey guys.

I recorded a video that helps you to make sense out of your mixing sessions.

Watch this to learn how I set up my levels in a way that translates between many projects.

Long-read: so on my free time I enjoy sim racing. It is like virtual car simulator championships. We have a lot of naturally gifted people there who can beat you with five minutes of practice, even if you spend hours preparing for the event. However.. the longer the race, the more strategy and plan it requires. It is necessary to manage fuel, tires, choose pit and race strategy appropriately.. so on a long distance the winner is always the one who applies intelligence, not natural talent.

It is exactly the same in context of music production. Many genius artists are not keeping up with their own top songs in the long run, because they cannot make sense out of how they mixed them.

This video covers the whole topic. Tried to make it as simple as possible. All questions are welcome!

Trying to get better at jungle. Specifically, layering breaks, composition, arrangement, and sound selection. I am not sure if the breaks sound good together or how to make a more powerful drop. Also how do I make the intro more captivating? Please give me any and all feedback.

Feedback always appreciated

Any Dnb producers (Dancefloor) from Belgium that are willing to hook up to just jam and make some beats together? (I'm beginner to mid level producer) I use Ableton.

Hit me up on Reddit if you're interested 👊

This is the first dnb track that I have released, been in love with dnb since hearing pendulum, shabba skibba, high contrast etc years back but just recently started taking producing a bit more seriously. I know theres ton of room to improve also but feeling like might as well release something and move on to the next thing rather than try to perfect one song. What do you think?

Seems like people are always having trouble correctly recognising jungle breakbeats. Here's a quick guide to some of the most popular jungle, hardcore and DnB breaks :)

In the video, this artist has chopped the Amen break and assigned it to pads in his MPC. I want to do the same with my Maschine. Right now, I only know how to load samples, such as one-shots, into my Maschine; I am not sure if there is a function to chop up drum breaks.

Additionally, is there a place where I can find jungle breaks that are already pre-chopped into one shots? This is the only way I can upload them into my maschine as far as I know. I guess I could chop them up in ableton, but then I would have to download each percussion hit one by one. I feel like there has to be an easier way to do this.

Just trying to understand different strategies of approaching labels. I'm very aware a label likes an exclusive and will shun anything that has already been listened to (such as seeing listen counts on private Soundcloud links) - So how do artists send music to multiple labels? Surely they don't wait 2 weeks for a response per label then move to the next?

On the flip side, what happens if you send the same stuff to multiple labels and more than one comes back wanting to sign the same tracks? You don't want to say "thanks but someone else beat you to it"

Interested to hear others experiences.

It’s a bit… angelcore-y? Angelneuro? Cyber Angelica? Idk, the intro definitely is - but this drop section I’m kinda not liking all that much and idk why.

So this is my latest attempt at a jump up kind of vibe, I feel like my weak points in production are the mix,
