The results obtained revealed the importance of this methodology in understanding and explaining the characteristics of drum & bass. The study culminated in the creation of a representative musical product of the genre, supported by a historical review that provided a deep understanding of its evolution and fundamental characteristics. The creative and technical process was detailed, exploring various audio manipulation and processing techniques to create the distinctive elements of the genre. This research offers a comprehensive view of drum & bass, from its historical roots to its practical application in contemporary music production, highlighting the importance of continuous experimentation during the creative process and the current relevance of the genre in various musical scenes. Additionally, reference is made to sound techniques related to the mixing and mastering process, essential for the completion of the project. In conclusion, this study achieves its goal of producing a drum & bass track, exploring its production process and highlighting the history, elements, and inherent methods of this musical genre, serving as a foundation for future works on electronic music.
