    WOW you guys are keeping me on my toes, I didn't think we'd get there this quick! Here is the project. I've provided a STEMS project for those that don't have the VSTS, as well as a full project with the VST's. Have fun and let me know what you think! tinyurl.com/stranjah-minimal-dnb-pt1

    Gotta Thank you for sharing all your knowledge dude!!! been a DnB head since day but never thought I had the ability to produce.... I have learned a hell of a lot from watching how you do things and its given me the confidence to invest in a DAW and have a go.... Thank you!! I was able to create my first full length composition last week after arriving home form my mother's funeral. I just felt it....
    I spent a solid 20 hours on it (all OG sounds, apart from the vocal and the drum hits). and am thoroughly proud of it. I was just wandering, as somebody that was a huge influence and inspiration for me, you would mind giving it a listen through and some feedback? Way more than happy to talk about how it was put together too....
    Thanks again!

    I mainly produced techno in the past, and always admired dnb producers for being so precise and devoted, but such a complex arrangement seemed too hard to result in fun. Your videos are changing my mind, that's exactly the kind of content map i needed to score the structure of a track without worring about getting lost in details. Done that, I can finally proceed to the steps I love more, like bass design and mixing. Thank you very much, you're such a good educator and you deserve tons of exposure.
