A Beginners Guide to Drum and Bass ProductionPopular
Drum'n'bass is sort of unique in that usually one person writes and produces. In the rock world, the writers, performers and producers are often different people, in d&b it's more common for one person to do all the jobs. Since a big part of d&b is the sounds you use, producing isn't like a layer on top of the basic songwriting like it is in pop/rock, it's an integral part of what makes the tunes what they are. So, I'll be using the term "producing" to cover (song)writing, performing, producing, mastering: the whole process from head to CD.
