Fade is a song I started about a month ago, I created all the synths and drumsets, so that's a reason why it took so long...
Anyway it's a DnB (Drum n' Bass) tune, so enjoy!

Its not drum and bass, its more like trip-hop. Kinda sounds like its off an oldschool video game. What did you use to make it?

The bass seems to be missing, im running 2x15" bassbins and im hearing barely a whisper of bass.

Edit: ...this is what dnb sounds like - https://soundcloud.com/user2887865/suryakantham

I agree with you, this was a failed attempt at dnb xD. I'm still learning... I used Cockos Reaper to create it.
And yes, I know what dnb sounds like -

Never heard of Cockos Reaper. Logic is good for dnb though.

I would suggest torrenting some sample packs. The drum samples you used ( -presumably the default Cockos Reaper samples - ) sound a bit naff. There are 100s of torrents out there full of high quality samples. Near impossible to make good tunes with crummy samples.

i dont listen to DnB, so im probably wrong, but the buildup seems too slow.
the basses could use a lot of work too. it also kinda drones on towards the end imo.

Kinda weak. No dynamics, needs a stronger drum pattern, also synth pattern, and the song kinda just keeps going while not really going anywhere.

But good job for first time!

Extremely Repetitive, Also this is more of House than it is Drum and Bass.
Drum and bass is fast and has a lot more drums and hi-hats.

Thanks for the reply, but as I said, this is a first song, I am still learning, this piece was only a test of the synths I made.

Good for a first, but it's lacking dynamics. For dnb, despite being told it's about "speed" it's more about the way the tracks flows together, in your case, It feels like there is no low end at all, and even for liquid I think adding a deep sub will back things up. But I really like the instrumentation apart from the bass.

Keep up the good work!
