Track Snippets/Previews (Give feedback before posting yours)
Re: Track Snippets/Previews (Give feedback before posting yours)
I don't know how to do a proper introduction of myself, my english it's not pretty accurate either so I'm sorry for my misspelling too. I'm an amateur producer from Chile who loves hardstyle and music in general. From a while ago I've been trying to produce hardstyle the best way that I can and for the first time share it with someone. I'm open to criticism and for any advice that you wanted to share with me c:
@Sigm△
I really like the atmosphere of your track (as dawed1999 said, it sounds like an oldschool track)
The kick, and I'm surprised caus I'm more into mainstream or raw kicks, fits really nicely in the first part, but it should have been better to put a rawish one in the second part, like a sort of "boom in your face" kick in a "boom in your face" climax
Otherwise, an interesting work here

@krb , i like the start , sounsd crystal , spacy .
maby around 0:50 you can fade the pluckolead thingy that starts from the start , so that there is a spare time where the next instrument can get its moment , it will maby sound more peacefull ? in harmony of the track
nice vocals , for my feel it sounds a little bit flat ? maby bring it just a little bit more to life , with opening the lower freqz a little bit .
Nice kick the realy high lead around 2:45 is sometimes maby a little bit to sharp i believe ,
Nice outro i love the lower lead , in combination with fat kick
overall , i like it , i could listen to it
-------------------
i today have a snippet i have been working on today , its realy a snippet , and yes i know it has some inperfections yet .
im to enthoustic
i wanna share this one
what you guys think ?

A nice dark melody, maybe try to improve it by adding more notes
In my opinion there is too much low frequencies, as a result, the track sounds a bit muddy
You should add pads, chords, stuff like this, to create an atmosphere, and add a bit of variation to your percussions (also think about reverb on it, to make it even darker)
@Pinago
Wow ! For a first snippet the melody sounds awesome ! The second one needs a bit more variations, otherwise good job on it !
Adding snares just before the climax would make it a bit better, also think about reverse crashes and crashes
The mixdown sounds correct, even if the kick sounds a bit louder (mostly the bass), try to reduce a bit the volume / EQ it properly
The construction is interesting, keep working on this
As a conclusion, I would say that the whole stuff is pretty nice, work harder and you'll get something really cool

Don't like that piano, not melody wise but it doesn't reveal the atmosphere you wanna create with this melody. Same for the leads. It can be interesting and atmosphere could be great, but sounds used don't fit imo. Kick needs more work.
Pinago
Nice melody, sounds groovy. Too much saws in your lead in my opinion, top layer does not pop up as it should. Also, when kicks came in, I think you should do 2x8 bars cause it's a bit short this way.
KRB-MP
I'm not into this "cyber" style but it's good, I like the whole atmosphere, sounds peaceful. Transition 1:55 is a bit harsh, background saws are a bit too soft imo.

@KRB-MP sounds and all that are decent, but I think this chord progression is used a lot (if you're feeling it though, it's all good!)
i'm working on a darkstyle track...
I could be in my own world with this idea, but it's a new proof of concept (to myself)

i will comment last tracks tommorow
because im '' screwed '' tommorow allready
yet i would love to post the update because i kinda love it
about '' long live the king ''
i kinda dont like the kick yet , as written above , it can sound clearer / more darker / more pure
but for the structure
, thats i think what has improved.
what you guys think ?
Edit : before new posts i changed some things , the kicks , some faders i changed , it sounds more done to me now
i dont know what i should change / ad , or edit more to it
let me know

some track comments
KRB = human disease , the overal sound when the drop comes , sounds a bit '' flat '' for me personal , i dont know , maby make it '' wider '' the sound .maby a reverb / decay on the lead will do the trick to make it sound bigger .
for the rest i like this catchy melody , good breaks , good in my opinion
.
-------------
@pinago = i like it in overal . yet there are some points to work on i think , i miss claps as a guide towards the qlimax , and other precussions , also a detail :
i dont like the sudden sound ending at 0:50 , maby use a fade out , that is used a few seconds later , a few seconds earlier , to let it fade out nicely and let the next lead take over the silence
.
i like the idea overall in this track snippet . good working
.
@krb wonderfull pain , i like the melody again , kick good , the sudden volume change at 1:27 , suddenly is maby a idea to make it more smoother , give it more time to build up to that volume .
it kinda makes me think about = arix - nova
, and i like that track
also i like in general
Soundphase : escape the simulation .
yes ! , i love the oldscool fat kicks ! , the little spacy twingles , you have to love it , but i kinda see were its going , and i kinda like it , i would not mind listning to it
.
but if you say darkstyle , i dont know if to hear it as hardstyle , and comment it as hardstyle .
if yes , i would say , make the flat sound bigger , and let it pop out .
do what you feel is good
