If you are going for something dark you could use a minor for example, or use a major if you are going for something more relaxing. Major scales tend to sound happier while minor scales usually sound sad. I think knowing some basic theory of chord progression can help sometimes when you are not getting anything or when you donвЂ™t feel inspires, is like having more tools to work with.Д«efore choosing the chord progression, you have to choose the scale. There is not a correct way to make chord progressions, you can play with the keyword and get great results, also use a chord progression in a scale you think could work and make an awesome progression. The last way would be to start the song from the bass or from the chords, it doesnвЂ™t matter if itвЂ™s from chords or bass, you can do it by playing with the keyword, or drawing random notes until you find a progression you like, but you could also use some basic music theory. If you start the song from a drum-loop you have a lot of freedom, you can start writing a chord progression with a synth on top of the drum loop or play it with the keyword, record it and adjust it. DonвЂ™t stress with making a complicated chord progression, there are chord progressions made from just one chord. Once you know the melody or the notes of the vocal samples, you can start drawing chords that fit the melody or notes and make a chord progression.

If you decide to start from a vocal, if itвЂ™s a full acapella from an existing song, find the chords, either by looking for the midi or listening to the song and drawing every note of the melody of the vocal. I personally find way eaisier to start a track from the chords for any music genre, unless i want to make a remix of an existing song. You can start the song from a vocal, from a drum loop, from a bass pattern, or from chords. ChordsДepending on how you want to start making the songs you will have different chords. Then there is a break, and in this break, there are few elements like in the intro, for example just chords or a vocal sample, and then the tracks continue with the drum loop.ДЇinally the track ends abruptly, or with a fade out, or it can have an ending similar to the intro, depending on the style.Д®verything in the track is connected through risers, and drum fills are also used sometimes at the end of the riser. In the next part starts the drum loop with changes every 4 or 8 bars, in this part synths are also added, which can have different sounds, from the bass to key chords, to bell or pluck arpeggios.

The important part is that in the intro there is no drum loop and heavy bass or synths to make contrast with the next part. Sometimes the intro is made with a vocal sample and a pad, other times ar chords, and other times a melody with an instrument. The structure for a drum and bass track, starts with an intro for the first 8 to 24bar, in this intro, there are little elements, in the intro, there is no drum loop, or if there is one it has an EQ filtering frequency or it just parts of the drum loop. To make everything sound loud and clear you should use some EQ and compression to get a better result. The last part is adding risers to connect each part with the next one. After that depending on the style you can use vocal samples, synth chords, lead melodies, bell/plucked arp, or different synth sounds. To make drum and bass start making a chord progression or a bassline pattern, add drum-loops and a kick and snare to follow the loop. For example, for the drum loops, you could get the drum loop from a 60s song in a part where there is a drum loop with no music and next stretch that part to 170-175BPM. But in its origins, the samples sometimes came from old records that had nothing to do with electronic music. There is no vocal structure where you have a verse and a chorus, the vocals are a part of the arrengment, and the central parts are still, the drum, the bass and sometimes a lead sound.Д«ecause is so sample-based, you should think about getting sample packs or getting samples from websites like Splice. This style of music is very sample-based, samples are used for drum loops, vocals, ambiance, effects, pads, etc but even with all the sampling, the bass is made with synths, and also other sounds are from synths to make chords and melodies. Drum and Bass is based on a Kick/Snare and a bassline, as itвЂ™s name says, but there are a lot of different genres: liquid, breakbeat, jungle, minimal, techstep, neurofunkвЂ¦ and each sub-genre has itвЂ™s own things, but there are common elements that you need to know first to make any of those genres.
