Drum And Bass Tunes, Tracks & Mixes

Description : Here attached is a new country tune I put together using several loops I bought off a disk set. I call it 'Old Tyme Country' as it is close to being Bluegrass as well. (Bluegrass usually has a Mandoline, Fiddle and a 5-string Banjo, and a rhythm guitar at least).

This instrumental features no guitars or regular drums. Rhythm here is provided by a Dulcimer, a Shaker and a drum like instrument called a Djembe. (An instrument from Africa, looking like a tall Bongo drum)

An acoustic stand-up Bass is used along with a 4 string Banjo, and the Fiddle is the main instrument.
Put all these together and this is the sound you can have. Hope you'll like it.

Description : This song is a bit of a fusion between Rock, Techno with an Angry Emo Edge to it. It's about coming to the realization that the other person in a failed relationation was never there for you at all.

This is a work still in progress, up to the 7th Demo.

I first recorded a punchy almost rap singing style vocal track, a sort of thing you might expect in a Linkin Park song. In the pre chorus I sang some parts in A Minor, over top of the driving Em, G, D, C. The Chorus I broken into smooth hooky chorus. I added a Lower Darker Vocal track after some people suggested it. One person turned me onto The song "Nobody" by Skindred, I had never tried singing in a dark low voice like that before. Was a new experience, plus a bit of a challenge to do it with the kind of mic.

This was the first original song I came up with using MAGIX Music Maker (basic edition). The Drum track is from the stock drum loops. I used the Silver Synth plug-in for the Bass lines. Used a few other loops for extra textural overlays. I played the Guitar tracks myself. I did add a second clean guitar track to the chorus and used the Wha effects of Music Maker. So the driving guitar riff is really two tracks laid down of me playing the indentical thing. One Dirty an one clean with the Wha effects.

I produced the first demo in the matter of a weekend, while getting the feel of how the software worked. Following weekend went back and added the second vocal track and made additional adjustments.

I'm hoping to totally redo this song, after I decide upon and purchase software and Hardware. Any feedback on this work in progress would be appreciated.

Description : An 80BPM psychedelic, chillout, deep groove electric cello spectacular. It mostly consists of multiple layers of my heavily edited cello playing techniques (harmonics, pizzicato, bowing, tremoloing and a little spiccato) plus drums. Other instruments: bass guitar, 8 bars of electric guitar, Fender Rhodes, a trancey synth, one occasional bass synth and a processed chimey guitar synth. It's fairly minimal instrumentation for me as this is all about my cello explorations as I learn how to play the instrument and what sort of sounds I can get out of it. Drums are programmed hip hop and hard rock kits (2 of each), plus some fun glitch processing on one kit in a middle section. No drum loops. This was quite difficult to make and I've had to show real restraint in not making it longer and not adding any guitar in the rocking last 2 minutes. That just seemed too predictable so I chose not to do it at all. Shimmering, high, bowed, funky cello all the way instead! Have a listen and leave me some interesting thoughts and/or suggestions.

Description : One of my greatest heavy tracks. What I find unusual is the amount of melodic and deep ambient guitar that sits on top of low, distorted riffs and fat, heavy drums. Very little synth work here apart from the sub bass, which plays almost throughout. Bass guitar in two sections and a couple of slide resonator guitar solos. Drums are a few programmed metal/rock kits, no drum loops. What I still have trouble believing and understanding is that all of the many vocal sounds in this are actually timestretched guitar parts (8x or 800% slower). I don't know why the timestretching adds such a clear vocal component to the sound. Gets darker and more intense in the middle (and towards the end) but this is otherwise quite melodic - perhaps in a way that might put off some metallers. Shitloads of guitar playing, some fairly badass, and lots of heavy, crashing drums so press play if you want to rock hard but also in a deep ambient, psychedelic way. Interesting thoughts and reflections are, as always, greatly appreciated. Detailed comments preferred...

Description : rough little nugget spinning around and around before it leaves our orbit - 3 guitar synth programs, including SFZ mute guitar and slap bass + SFZ rhodes, Akai drum kit and one drum sample (manipulated) with some lazy and very rough electric guitar playing that I should really redo but then like our second moon its not 'hear' for long ; ) Hopefully someone enjoys it

Description : Deep grooving, slightly psychedelic cello grunge. There's no guitar but there is loads of electric cello, all played by me. The only other instruments are a violin VST, 5 seconds of Rhodes, a fat organ, a few programmed acoustic drum kits and no drum loops. No bass instruments but I do sometimes use an octave effect on cello parts to give a fatter low end. Starts off with some cool, smooth basslines and a funky little beat and then gets a lot more badass. End section is a real dirty rockin' surprise but it's only one distorted cello part plus heavy drums (very minimal). Have a good listen and then consider leaving me your fascinating feedback. Get ready to rock!

Description : [Updated 24/11/14 - volume boosts, re-EQ'd kick and added a tremolo at the end, 'cos why not...] Knowing how popular RomyHarmony is, there is probably countless songs with the same title, but oh well. Creating in Logic Pro 9 using the ES2 Synthesizer, the Ultrabeat drum machine with a sampled kick from inklewinkle2's 'Liquid Drum and Bass Break' and kenzo409's snare, the ES E ensemble synth and of course, the 'New World' acapella by RomyHarmony, which was once again, a first class acapella.

Description : Another piece of drum and bass, this time its on FL studio 8, because i deleted FL9 because it took up a lot of space, and it wasnt as good anyway.

The strings and guitars are both native instruments kore player, and the main drum line is actually a loop I downloaded from fl's downloadable content.

This song is not finished yet, but i hope to get it finished pretty quickly, but im stuck at the moment as i cant think of a decent bridge...

Description : I used a ridiculous amount of samples and put a lot of work into the automation of the filters and creating some of my own loops for use with this project, and something happened with the project file and I can no longer access it. I would looooove to finish this one but I can't. (I still think its worth putting up for people to hear though) Anyway there are a few drum n bass drum loops from various websites thrown in there. Anyway tell me what you think =]

Description : Probably the greatest banj-metal-hiphop-jazz joint ever. With lead saxophone, house bass, rock and metal guitars, Eastern banjo, jazz and hip hop drums and a tasty dose of drum and bass thrown squarely in your face. You can headbang or throw some body-poppin hippity-hoppity shapes to this mofo, for real. A lot of genres covered in 7 minutes so hopefully the time will fly by. And, yes, there really is acoustic banjo as a lead instrument on top of some crunching and crashing metal guitar and drums. Long live Banj Metal!

Description : This is my newest creation, at a stage very near to completion. No third-party mastering or mixing, as with all my tracks. Just have to fix a few tiny things. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MIX EVERYTHING IN THE SAME SESSION. This song has all human-played instruments - no quantization or MIDI! My brother does all the vocals except for the interlude part, which I do. My other brother plays the rhythm guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Custom - only one of 12 in the world!!) and I play the accompanying guitar (a Johnny Mar Jag and PRS). He has a lot of guitars :P A good friend of ours, Ronnie, plays the bass and another friend, Freddie, plays the drums. The drum track was done in one take (had to use an electric drum set due to time constraints - but acoustic kits are so much better). Overall, pretty satisfied with the result. Let me know your thoughts.

Description : I took a hard hitting hip hop drum loop by ebcott3 (https://www.looperman.com/loops/detail/75814)coupled with another hip hop drum track by DCmack (https://www.looperman.com/loops/detail/78803) and added my chords, piano, brass, and bass. I am looking for constructive criticism and comments. Thanks

Description : This was my second recording I did in Music Maker Studio. I'm probally going to redo this cover completely. Since I know how to work the "Beat Box" plug-in that emulates the Roland TR-808 and have been working with drum loops. Anyways, I had always wanted to experiment at doing my own version of this classic song by Phil. I'm using the Silver Synth to deliver a ACID sounding TB-303 bass line. This was my first attempt at using Synth Plug in's, and recording guitar tracks into a project, along with using loops. Constructing a song from scratch and not simply hacking a demo apart as I did for "Jenny 867-5309". I thought I'd share this with you guys for the Hell of it. It's just been hanging out on my Hard Drive for a month now... it's missing the signature drum licks but oh well. After I did this I moved onto working on my first original "Never Here" as my third project.

Description : An instrumental bootleg remix of Basson's song: https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/161337

This is my first track created in Logic Pro 9 (everything beforehand was Garageband 9), and utilises the Ultrabeat drum machine (into which I sampled kenzo409's snare and WhoAteDaMuffin's kick), the ES2 and EXS24 Sampler, into which I put a single loop of Skeiz' Reece bass and BigDaWayne's growl.
*Any issues with the original artist, please message me and discuss what you would like done* Updated 9/11/14 - Re-Mastered, cymbals should be clearer, sub bass and synths louder.

Description : Hej eveyone!
For the first time in my career I am really satisfied with drum tracking quality and overal drum mix. After switching to passive pickups I decided to give JMC800 one more chance, it isn't my dream guitar tone, but I am ok with it (Mesa Grid Slammer stomp used as overdrive). Dingwall NG3 bass into Darkglass Alpha Omega 900 head. Piano parts recorded on SCHIMMEL KONZERT280 grand piano placed in Finnish National Opera and Ballet.

Description : Another experiment with my new vst drum machine. Also uses the vst instruments, 1.The lofi northern boarder electric piano, 2.Tibetan Singing Bowl (from decent sampler) 3. A bass preset from Vital (synth) with a sax, percussion and 3 vox samples. Also multitracked my slightly random electric guitar playing.
Not exactly exciting but floats along in a kinda chill way and at least I got the drum machine sounding better now : )

Description : My attempt at drum'n'bass. Made of Cymatics free loops.
I don't like the idea of tracks made of loops, because they lack creativity.
But that was a challenge for myself, because I was just interested, what can I do, if I was using loops only. I want to give a challenge to @ferdelar just because he(she?) does cool things and he(she?)'s mighty.

Description : DnB tune in Ableton live. Only tried DnB once before but I lost the file so tried another. I made every note apart from a nice drum loop that I downloaded from here, courtesy of 2nick8 - Can I Kick It Beat Full .

And of course JFK but he's not going to mind...

Description : I tried to make a 'doom cello' track but failed as the chillout vibes really took over but there is still some heaviness as well as a few minutes of dance music in the final sections. It's very moody and atmospheric and dominated by strings and drums. 120BPM but most of it is half that tempo. Lots of my electric cello playing though there are also sample-based string parts, especially the foreboding, drone bass - the only bass instrument in the track. Other pad sounds add some mystical, spacey beauty while an arpeggiated VST guitar instrument adds a progressive band feel in the first half. Drums are two programmed kits and mostly one hard rock/metal kit. Also one drum loop plus two music loops towards the end. I very rarely use music loops but they seem to work here. Let me know what you think of this progressive epic. Sorry it's so long but hopefully it justifies its length. It's definitely far out and difficult to place in any particular, obvious genre.

Description : Psychedelic chillout stoner/doom epic. Badass heavy riffage and drumming plus big chillout vibes. Heavy electric guitar plus slow attack lead parts. Other beauty and ambience from filter swept violins, two synth pads and some subtle female vocal samples. Also bass guitar and sub bass. Two programmed, heavy drum kits and one lighter one, to fatten up the sound.

Description : OK so originally this track was just a guitar synth with some pads accompanying it. I've now added vocals, drums, bass and automation to this track, and got all the levels right within these past 24 hours for this dead project revival thing set up by Dungbeatl. This is still a very short track, but don't worry, I'm going to add more to it. This is just the beginning... man that line sounds so cheesy.

Anyhow, sit back, relax and enjoy the track!

Vocals by me.
Track by me.
Drum samples from various image line packages.

VSTs used: DSK Techsynth (Guitar) Gladiator 2 (Pad) 3xosc (bass and vocodes)

UPDATE!: Completely remixed this track. Sounds WAY different from what it used to. Added more synth layers, pumped up the tempo, and just generally sounds better now. Kinda inspired by NickQ, so thanks for making good songs nick! :P
