absolutely. With that style it's ALL about the automation.

One quick question: Where did I say that I was making y'all try to change genres or try to regulate genres? I find that overall music sounds a hell of a lot better with the three fundamental sections in any piece of music.

Also, what do you plan to do with your productions? If this is answered, I might be able to elaborate more.

An example of a false bassline (since I can't upload it) can be found at silex-studios.com, under a .flp file called "3xOsc Tutorial." It hits a low note on ever down-beat before going to the higher notes. It (although unintentionally) creates the illusion of a bassline.

sorry it took me so long to reply. i would say its in between the too. leaning a bit more towards breakbeat yes.


edit: and after a couple listens i can tell that its more like a breakbeat trying to be dnb. DnB is pretty tricky stuff to make. especially without premade drum sequences to chop up.

So here is my and Gorlock's take on what we've just listened to (Without reading what previous people have said, so the following may have already been said):

You definately need to expand your sample bank. You have a kick, hat, and two snares?
The drums need to be more of a D'nB pattern. Just because the drums are at the right BPM, doesn't make it D'nB.
Need to do something much more with your synth. Sounds like it's a basic reese synth. Needs more modulation to it. You have the Melody down, but you need a harmony bass-line going in the background.

Most of what I said is a pretty blanket critique. It's really hard to give a solid review of what I think about this 'track' since it is merely a drumloop with a synth over it. Until you really expand this out to something over at least 32 bars in length, it's hard to tell how you have everything in the track working together.

I hope this somewhat helps a bit. Best of luck!
