Here is a good article on dnb production. It goes into very little detail but gives a great overview to many aspects.
Hailing from a small town in Belgium, Netsky is one of the most promising upcoming producers of the moment. In the last 4 years involved in music production, he realised that he likes his drum & bass deep and soulful. He is trying to balance the deepness and musicality of his sound with big enough beats and bass to keep the dancefloor alive. With a number of 12″s on Hype’s Liqweed Ganja and Twisted Individual’s Allsorts in the pipeline, he is definately one to keep an eye on.

SubFocus
Matrix & Futurebound
Xample & Lomax

IK Multimedia announces the availability of the new ARC System TDM for Pro Tools HD Accel. Together with ARC Native , it is the first coustic correction system in a plug-in and delivers an advanced solution to acoustical problems for any Digidesign® Pro Tools® TDM-based studio.
ARC features the Audyssey MultEQ® technology, which measures acoustical information throughout the listening area in your studio. It then combines this information to provide an accurate representation of the room’s acoustical problems. The equalization solution then corrects for both time and frequency response problems more effectively and efficiently than any other room correction EQ on the market.
The result is a clear and reliable representation of your mix. Regardless of the acoustical issues in your studio, what you are recording, mixing or mastering becomes immediately clear and reliable and your studio sound will improve forever.
Features:
- The first and only room correction system in a plug-in for Pro Tools® TDM-based studios.
- Includes a calibrated measurement microphone, measurement software and multi-platform correction plug-in.
- Improves clarity, stereo imaging and frequency response, for faster, more reliable mixing.
- Revolutionary Audyssey MultEQ® technology corrects frequency and phase response not only for the engineer’s ‘sweet spot’, but also multiple points in the room.
- Step by step setup measurement wizard will have you up and running in minutes.
- A convenient, unique, mobile correction solution for the traveling engineer.
- Sonically ‘treat’ your room so you can finally trust the sound of your studio.
