# Remix your song into drum and bass

To remix a song into drum and bass, pick it in your Lyro library or upload your own file, open Restyle and describe the new sound in a few words, for example “Drum and bass version: fast breakbeat, tight snare, deep sub bass, growling mid bass, chopped funk breaks”. Lyro’s studio tools rebuild the whole track in that style and add it as a new version; the original stays as it was.

A song made on Lyro keeps its own lyrics. For your own file, paste the lyrics, or the words are lost. It costs one credit per started minute, with a minimum of 2 credits.

## At a glanceDrum and bass

| Tempo (BPM) | 165 to 180, most often 172 to 176 |
|---|---|
| Keys | minor keys, often E minor, F minor or G minor |
| Feel | two-step breakbeat: kick on one, snare on two and four, syncopated second kick, fast shuffled hats |
| Signature sounds | a fast two-step breakbeat with a tight snare on two and four, a deep rolling sub bass, and pads or electric piano chords above them |
| Song form | usually a 16 or 32 bar intro with a teaser of the hook, a first drop at around 45 seconds to a minute, a breakdown in the middle, a second drop with a variation and a stripped outro |

Lyro keeps your song’s tempo and key. If your song is far from the usual drum and bass tempo in the table, the remix can come out feeling half-time or rushed.

## How it goesThree steps

- **Pick the song** Choose a track from your Lyro library, or upload your own file and confirm you have the rights to it.
- **Describe Drum and bass** Open Restyle and write the new style, for example: Drum and bass version: fast breakbeat, tight snare, deep sub bass, growling mid bass, chopped funk breaks. For your own file, paste the lyrics.
- **Set how far it goes, then listen** The “How far from the original” slider sets how much changes. The result is a new version beside the old one.

## Tips for this genre

Drum and bass is recognised by a fast two-step breakbeat with a tight snare on two and four, a deep rolling sub bass, and pads or electric piano chords above them. Put those sounds in your description:

- Say what the bass does, for example deep rolling sub, growling modulated mid bass or bouncy wobbling bass.
- Add the musical layer, such as warm Rhodes chords and soulful vocals for liquid or dark pads and sci-fi effects for neurofunk.

### Where the limits are

- The voice in a remix is made again by the model, so it is not your exact voice. To keep your own vocal, use a beat for your vocal instead.
- Without the lyrics, a remix of your own file loses the words; a Lyro song sends its own.
- The remix keeps your song’s tempo; if drum and bass usually runs much faster or slower, expect a half-time or double-time feel.
- Remixing a song that is not yours needs the rights to it; Lyro asks you to confirm them for your own files.

## Questions

### Will the drum and bass remix keep my lyrics?

A song made on Lyro keeps its own lyrics automatically. For your own file, paste the lyrics into Restyle; without them the remix loses the words.

### Will it keep my voice?

No. The remix is made again by the model, voice included, so it will not be your exact voice. If you want your own vocal over a drum and bass track, use [a beat for your vocal](https://lyromusic.com/beat-for-vocals) instead.

### What should I write to get drum and bass?

Name the sounds: “Drum and bass version: fast breakbeat, tight snare, deep sub bass, growling mid bass, chopped funk breaks”. Name the sub-style first, such as liquid, jungle, neurofunk, jump-up or dancefloor, because they share a tempo and little else.

### What does a remix cost?

One credit per started minute of the song, with a minimum of 2 credits; a three-minute song costs 3 credits. The original stays in your library, and failed remixes are refunded automatically.

### What is close to drum and bass?

The neighbouring genres differ in clear ways:

- [UK garage](https://lyromusic.com/remix-into/uk-garage): slower at 128 to 138 BPM, with the same two-step skip, swing and sub bass
- Techno: slower at 125 to 150 BPM, with a kick on every beat in place of a breakbeat
- Hip-hop: the same breakbeats at their original speed, around half the tempo
