  • In this video I make a ‘95-style atmospheric drum 'n' bass tune with rolling breakbeats, 808 sub bass, and lush pads.
    I often see people who wanted to see the full process of making a track, so this video is basically unedited and shows the bits of making a tune you don’t tend to see including making mistakes, having bad ideas, and problem solving.
    Contrary to what it says in the video I'm currently unable to offer one-to-one tuition! :( Hopefully I'll be able to get back to this at some point.

    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.

    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. 😅

    Great track mate. I want to thank you for your other videos too. Such a comprehensive breakdown of the genre gave me enough motivation to dabble in DnB again after giving it a wide berth for a while, so thanks for that.

    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 :)

    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.
