Mixing Drum and Bass
Watch more here: www.sonicacademy.com/
In this video, our good friend James Dymond shares how he takes on an unfamiliar genre with DnB, and how the mixing process differs from his usual Trance/Psy-Trance creations.
Here, we check out how he's mixed the drums and the bass sections of the track he's working on, showing us the layers and processing involved to get the most out of the underlying and important parts of the tune.
A learning process as much for James as it is for you, feel free to share your own mixing DnB tips in the comments below!

    Great video. Something I can't seem to figure though. On your ANA 2 for bass, you have Macro 1 set as "Pitch Transient". Much as I've looked though I can't see this on my ANA 2. Which is fully up to date.

      Hey, this is a custom preset made by P-LASK for his track. You can assign and rename the macros to whatever and wherever you want in ANA 2, so in this case P-LASK has assigned the macro to the modulation envelope depth and named it 'Pitch Transient'.

    Thanks for the detailed overview! Soundwise i think it´s really one of the best free ones out there, my only problem is that all sounds are already panned /have a fixed panning, I´m aware that this mimics " a real orchstra" but i´d rather have every sound in the middle so i can choose myself whether i want to pan the sound or leave it idead center.

    I've got an older computer that I'm using to start at the shallow end of Linux usership. Linux is working (still a noob, but progress is smooth), so thereafter I wanted a DAW. Bitwig saved the day. Now I'm slowly migrating from FL Studio to Bitwig and am loving it so far (I've used FL Studio off and on for nearly 20 years). *Thank you Bitwig for supporting Linux!* I also once enjoyed N.I. Reaktor, but never really got that deep into it (I didn't want to get lost in the forest for the trees). "The Grid" within Bitwig feels like Reaktor on easy-mode, and I also am really enjoying that fact. Bitwig's synthesizer tools right out of the box sound more potent that what I'll ever need, so I'm fine with being on Linux and no longer having a few VSTs that I enjoyed using in the past.
