Making an Atmospheric Drum 'n' Bass Tune

[@philadams9254]

Final result: 2:28:04 Really good video man. I learned a lot

[@Alyssa_degrande]

Hi Tim, I don’t know if you’ll see this comment but I’ve been struggling to make drum and bass for months now. Not even half way through your video and the ideas came flowing! I stayed up until 5am working on a track (including arrangement) now I have a 9 min D&B banger in my hands all thanks to you! Keep up the great work, my friend.

[@TimCant]

I struggled to make DnB for years and I know how frustrating it can be, thanks so much for letting me know I helped :)

[@7177YT]

My takeaway is the cheerful attitude and genuine delight when little tweaks work out or happy accidents occur. My process for some reason features more frustration and self doubt. 😅

[@TimCant]

“Thank heavens for small mercies” is my motto when making music 😆 hang in there buddy I’ve been making tunes for thirty years and I assure you I’ve experienced at least as much frustration and self-doubt!

Thanks Tim, your process is very helpful and your candour vibe reminds me the most important thing is to let the fun flow, much appreciated :)

Good stuff, Tim!

Another cracking video Tim, some great bits and pieces to take away and apply to future projects. 👊🏻🔥

[@DNB_ESSENTIALS]

Tango used that sound on 'understanding'. Great vid 👍🏻

[@ВладимирОлейников-г7г]

Everyone knows it's mandated by law to use a loon sample and not just some random bird. Had no choice but to notify the rave police, sorry.

[@TimCant]

I know you’re joking but I already did a tune with the loon sample 🙈🙈🙈 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aF7bnmawlNyonMksi=HHxo7lykLf2DAsIp

[@gearwatcher]

@@TimCant I'm sorry dude but you'll have to explain it to the dancehall judge. Great video, and track (both of them really).

[@TimCant]

@@gearwatcher I throw myself on the mercy of the court 😭😭😭😭

[@RAISING_WOLVES]

Pure vibes Tim! I need to get back on some atmospheric Jungle D&B 😎😎

[@TimCant]

Please do buddy 🤓🤓🤓

[@paullawson8610]

Im getting the glr vibes the hi hat intro and the shit ya pants break 😅danny played a lot tunes with the hot pants break around 95. nicked a few tricks of you that Chomra plug in looks very interesting cheers Tim

[@wildhorsemusic1111]

On a side note... id LOVE a tutorial how to use the Ableton Push 1 to make Atmosphereic D&B

[@RonWellsJS]

Good job again Tim

[@TimCant]

Loving Jungle Techno Volume 2 Ron, thanks for bringing these classics back 😎

[@fenexj]

masterful, great vid tim

[@emmetcassidy]

big up

[@Quakyytheduck]

That sounds so gooddd and tt's so hypnotizing!!! Thank you for all the tips and ideas from the video! :D

[@RolledInARaw]

Amazing bruv !!! The vocal reminds me of Immortal by Dj Fresh came to mind at the end. Great Tune and amazing tutorial session to man thank you .

[@ryanjohnson2002]

Great video and great work :) would you ever consider making a video like this for an acid house track?

[@ians691]

I am at the Roadhouse sample bit and I have to say, much like the film, that is sublime. "Dalton's Theme" is coming along nicely! (I know the sample isn't from Dalton, but I'm hoping in the 2nd half of the tune you drape a few choice Dalton soundbites over the tune.

[@TimCant]

Remember, be nice!!! 😁

[@ians691]

This is why I could never make music. I'd turn everything into a daft novelty tune just to make myself laugh.

[@TimCant]

@@ians691 Unfortunately for me I don't have a choice because I got chucked out of cooler school for being too buff and too zen :(

[@lanadamusic]

Impressive

[@robertkondrat]

Really great video Tim, any chance you have more info on the old Aquasky sample pack from CM? do you know by any chance what year / issue is that from? Thanks!

[@ethanhackwell441]

This video really gave me the confidence I needed to make my first dnb song, watching the whole process just stopped me being worried about the way I was doing things. Only thing is, I've done some googling and I really can't find the answer, is there anyway to cut and chop audio looks like Tim does in the video with his break but on FL studio? The only way I've been able find to do it is with sampleX, but I think seeing the waveforms as opposed to the markers would make a lot more sense to me. Other than that cheers for the video Tim :)

Delay, yesss

[@craigburton4447]

Which AMG pack is the first break from, I have loop soup and 160/260db and couldn't find it, but I might just be missing from trying to skim too many breaks too quickly

[@TimCant]

@@craigburton4447 nah it’s not a DnB pack, it’s off this one, I think this company also sells a wav version too samples-now.com/storefront/product/funky-drums-from-hell-neil-conti-rex-rmx

[@harrysalmon6393]

Hello

[@Takmamsamojakty]

what sample pack you used ?

[@TimCant]

I use samples from all over the place that I've collected since the 90s, I recommend the Zero-G Datafiles samples CDs as a good starting point

[@Takmamsamojakty]

@@TimCant pads ?

[@TimCant]

@@Takmamsamojakty again I get them from all over the place, but if you’d like a collection specially designed for atmospheric DnB please check out this pack I made! 😊 polyend.com/product/atmospheric-pads/

Good Video! I enjoyed that, thanks.
