如何製作 Drum&Bass 舞曲?

本人用的DAW宿主主要是FL和AbletonLIVE,嘗試過創作DNB,但覺得有其型但無其神,從編曲到混音好像感覺都不對。。

拙作在此,請各位不吝賜教,具體批評,不要打臉。。

【另外本來這次的提問是在和電板鴨一起開玩笑想博大夥一樂(詳情見電板鴨賣萌回答),但已有高手認真指教,因此決定端正態度虛心學習,請大家不要介意~】


Drum Bass涵蓋的類型比較寬泛,不說實驗性較強或偏奇小眾的,基本結構如名所示就是一段Drum Break, Bass, 加上主旋律 (或許是Chord或許是Synth或許是原聲樂器),Pad, 人聲,聲效,奇怪採樣等玩兒法眾多;

來段摘抄:

Examining drum n bass in a musical style is more difficult than examining its

roots since it has become a hugely diversified genre. On one end of the scale it

can be heavily influenced with acoustic instruments while on the other it will

only feature industrial or synthetic sounds. Nevertheless, there are some generalizations that all drum n bass records share that can be examined in more detail.

Typically a drum 『n』 bass tempo will remain between 165 and 185BPM,

although in more recent instances the tempo has sat around 175–180BPM.

Generally speaking, a snare will remain on beats 2 and 4 of the bar to help

keep the listener or dancer in time, while the kick drum will dance around

this snare. The bass often plays at one-quarter or half time of the drum tempo,

again to keep the dancer 『in time 』. It should be noted, however, that the more

complex the drum rhythm is, the faster the music will appear to be. Therefore,

it』s prudent to keep the loop relatively simple if the tempo is higher or relatively complex if the tempo is lower.

Much of the progression of this genre comes from careful development of the

drum rhythms, not necessarily a change in the rhythm itself but from applying

pitch effects, flangers, phasers and filters as the mix progresses. Much in the

way that techno uses the mixing desk as a creative tool so does drum 『n』 bass

with the EQ employed to enhance the rhythmic variations and harmonic content between them.

To the uninitiated, drum『n』 bass may be seen to only include drum rhythms

and a bass, but very few tracks are constructed from just these elements. Indeed,

although these play a significant role in the genre, it also features other instrumentation such as guitars or synthesis chords, sound effects and vocals.

說說Drum Bass的爸爸Jungle的玩兒法

不知題主是否具備基本Music Production的知識,沒有的話網上教程公開課一抓一把。

現代Digital Audio Workstation具備所有Studio里需要各種器材插一起才能做首DnB的能力,所以下個DAW(免費的一抓一把,窮不要臉如我可以去下破解版,比如FL Studio啦,Ableton Live啦),新手直接Amen Break循環,鼓循環膩了就拿出Beat Slicer實驗各種節拍組合。

BASS最簡單有808,可以請@孟奇老師教你"LTJ BUKEM的Sub」 (某本書里見過。。)

Synth,Pad等學學合成的知識,當然新手還是基本拼採樣,先驅們當初沒有互聯網也是有sample CD的,可以從這個Blu Mar Ten採的包開始 JungleJungle

寫歌學學Music Theory

最主要的還是多聽多思考多練習

每首歌都是音樂製作的一節課

但看題主的措辭我想這個Fracture講Ableton Live的教程才更對題主的胃口吧。。

不一定非得買鼓和貝斯,現在大家都玩採樣了,有這個技術固然好,沒有其實也無甚所謂。

DNB現在也區分風格了,有相對濕潤的Liquid DNB,聽起來噁心的Neuro DNB,以至於受dubstep影響的drumstep等,看你喜歡哪種,多聽多收集相關音色。

我自己上手是從鼓開始的。在碎拍最經典的amen break基礎上來回切,套上不同音色看感覺。採樣庫推薦london electricity出品的幾個採樣庫,好用到哭。

貝斯方面受風格影響最大。liquid可能相對悶一點,drumstep往往偏躁偏狠。做貝斯目前最主流還是massive,serum有取代的可能性,正版略貴學生買不起,觀望中,但是seamless用了都說好。

頻率更高的部分也是看風格了。liquid需要疊pad,drumstep需要雷鬼的撥奏或者更豐富的貝斯–主奏旋律線,等等。

簡而言之,聽歌仿寫是最快最有效的方法,一開始如果上手慢可以搜construction kits,都是分好層的東西,對於分析很有幫助。


首先,你要買一套鼓,和一把貝斯,然後讓它倆同居,生出來的娃兒就叫DrumBass

當然也有例外,比如它倆要跑去樹叢里玩生出來的娃兒就叫Jungle了

還有那啥生出來的娃兒要有先天性便秘就叫Brostep了

要生出來Drumstep,那肯定是貝斯被Dubstep戴綠帽子了

最後。。。求不打臉~~ - -
