Accelerando

First time trying my hand at drum and bass, with acceptable results I think. Definitely a lot of energy in this track! There's a bit too much going on perhaps. The bass is a wavsynth saw, all percussions are the standard M8 samples, bells are my usual fmsynth patches, and there's two synth samples for more fun. BPM=160… for the most part :-).

More than acceptable. Bells are great. The little trill with them gets me every time. I don’t think there’s too much either. I get the point where you’d think that, but I think the most it needs there is space… panning or eqing or something… but for all of two bars when it’s full bore.

Super fun tune

Thank you ♥

The problem with 160bmp is it tends to feel like 80bpm. This feels relaxed because of that. Maybe not a problem as much as it is a solution.

That super low gritty bass with the very tinkly bells is SUCH a cool choice. I really enjoyed the more melodic sections at around 1:45, super fun!!! Nice job!!!
