@Shrapnel - For me, that kick edit is clean though. Nice but not quite like when it pitched up with the punch at 1.52 imo, but if you want to keep the old track feeling that way, it is okay though. Good job mate. ;D

Edit : This is mainly a kick snippet, but who knows it might can be a bootleg project (if it's kind sounds so good and sick though), hahaha. Enjoy :D

Hi I'm Dhamiri-K ;D

@ Shrapnel, like dhamiri_blurrboy said, it's pretty clean and well made, but the kick doesn't sound as good when it pitches up. Try not to pitch the punch up.
@ dhamiri_blurrboy, the screech is nice, and the kick has a decent punch and lots of bass, but the tail sounds a bit weird. I think you should make it more crunchy.
Here's the follow-up to another track I posted here earlier:

@climax (2nd track) it seems like your kick is "confined" ( maybe my earphone ), but it sound good, nice lead but maybe a bit loud
@Shrapnel, kick sound good
@dhamiri, as typhon, the kick tail sound a bit weird to me too, maybe not distorded enough. Nice screech btw
@Archangel, your lead sound a bit dry, and your punch isn't strong enough

here is mine

@Sustain , Well arranged track. I feel the talking parts gets dragged out too long,but thats just me i've herd alot of tracks like that. Not sure what else to say about it other then the talking parts which is just an opinion.
@Typhonmusic The kick has a harsh tok with mid highs too loud and when you pitch that kind of tok it really sticks out even though it's ideal to not pitch the tok sometimes you can get away with it. But for the harshness it's more of hardcore style so if your trying to do a hardstyle kick you should EQ the mid highs out around 1K and leave your high freqs flat on the tok. Overall not a useless kick and serves it's purpose if you apply on a track that it works with.

This track I put up very recently is called pajaro (Original Mix By Chaotic Sonics) . My producer name is Chaotic Sonics which i changed a while ago after joining harderstate and taking a long break from hardstyle. Also Pajaro is Spanish for bird. I gave it that name because it sounded like the lead main sound was singing that, but i'm probably the only person who thinks that lol. The track wasn't planed to be themed on a bird,but it came out that way when i put all the sound i made together. It's not a traditional Hardstyle song,but it's something fresh and new i never herd before. The Bpm goes from 160 to 200 which was an experiment out of being bored very quickly, it changes the attack speed of the tok going at 200,but the song wasn't about the kick and more about the energy, rhythm, Bass,melodic variation, and arrangement. There is also some intentional things done with forcing sidechaining on an lowself and notch to make room for dynamics and bass. And yes i like the vinyl and Tape hiss which is why it's there lol.

@bloodlord1989 - I like experimental stuff, idea is actually really cool. Kick could be better (more mids and maybe more "in front") but I quite like it. Ofc there are not many people who will like it, because of it's randomness (from here or there it gets a bit random for me, but it's okay as you said you done it quickly). I like to hear people do out-of-box stuff with harder styles :D Keep it up man, gonna look some of your tracks later too :P




And here is my snippet, started it yesterday, had that sudden flow while messing around in FL. Trying to head somewhere like Audiofreq did with Madagascar, that really nice summer feel yet much energy and some tribal feels :D Not so sure about the mixdown because I've worked on it in so little time yet and when I do I mostly work with build-up now and some sounddesign n stuff :) Some samples got to be replaced but for now, to keep the flow I kept some not the best matching samples. Hope you like it as much as I do! :) Have a nice Monday peeps!

@bloodlord1989
Some really cool sound experimenting man. Got To work a little on the equalizing and i am not really feeeling any kick in it. Somehow it sounds a bit out of sync too.

@Skyhaze
Nice energetic trancy melody and the buildup is really great. Got to work a little more on the sound design, Lead got to much high noise in it.



Here's my thing. Started on some new kicks. Worked out three variations of it. I am quite statisfied about it, curious about what you guys think. Don't mind the other parts, this one is all about the kicks ;)

@ Sustain
First of all it sounds really nice overall! There are a few tweaks to be made in my opinion. The build-up to the first kick could be made a little more exiting in my opinion. Also the first screech is slightly too loud as compared to the vocal in the intro. I really like the way you’ve put the track together. It sounds pretty close to a professional track! Keep up the good work!

@ Chaotic Sonics/bloodlords
I appreciate the fact that you’re trying something new and original. However its way to chaotic for me. Your synthsounds and kick are also not really good tbh. I can’t see myself dancing to this on a party. However! KUDOS for coming up with such an original arrangement

@ Skyhaze
I don’t know what to say. It’s definitely not bad produced. The melody and style just isn’t for me I guess. It also gets a bit repetitive. It’s hard for me to give exact feedback because the style isn’t my cup of tea.

@r.H.
Love the snare you got there! The kicks lack a bunch of bass and power in my opinion. Try to work on your punches more. I like the last one the most but they all sound kinda crappy to be honest…

nice screeches! love them in the build-up. the kicks are quite nice but still need some work, especially the punch needs to stand out more.

Fort Noxious
Quality stuff, nice intro/build up, great sound design and love the way how the first part of the mid-intro "flows" into the second part of the Mid-intro.
enjoyable vocals and quite a nice "noisecontroller style" climax!

overall it sounds like a great track and i'm really impresssed by the sound design! the only negative point that i can find is that it maybe lacks a bit of high frequencies, but that could be a soundcloud problem ;)

Skyhaze
The track gives a nice euphoric feeling, the kicks pitch nicely, mixdown indeed needs some work, maybe the lead sound has to stand out a bit more.
overall nicely done!


Some time ago i posted a snippet of mine called "Radiocheck"

The Snippet that i posted previewed the "mid-intro part.
Preview Mid-intro:


In the mean time i did some adjustments on it but i didn't upload it to Soundcloud yet, overall it has stayed the same, i only did some minor adjustments to the screeches.


Yesterday i continued working on it and created an climax for it on wich i would like to hear your opinion. :)

Preview Climax:


Curious what you guys think! :)

Nice vibe,it gives me trancy, posetive feeling, but i don't like the mixdown + something wrong with the lead synth, on the high notes it sounds weird + its dirty as i think. So i think the basic problem is in the sound.

Fort noxious
Really crazy, i love it :D Middle part with the vocals can be louder for me and i was wayting for the melody. First part sounds better than that part what is follow the vocals... but it just for me, anyway, the track sounds really crazy/

r.H.
You need to work on your kicks more + mixdown is not so good.

PERCEPTOR
Very nice track, i like it, but i don't know about the complete picture, raw sounds like it must be, but again, i really hope that there is somewhere a melody. Mixdown is good.

My headache :D

WASSSSUP GUYS!

I'm just starting and still unsure if the technical terms of producing but I will try and give feedback the best way I can lol!

@SNOOPP - Really nice track, you had me bopping my head :)! Between 1:10 and the end of the track it would be nice for bass pitch to go up. You will probably add this in before the track complete but that is only thing I think would make it sound better.

@ PERCEPTOR - I like both of those previews. I can't see way to make them better, sorry I couldn't really give feedback to improve. I prefer the 2nd one you uploaded.

I made this today whilst on fl studio. Its my 2nd preview ever so I know there will be negative feedback for it but i'm ready, give me the bad news haha! its only a short preview but i just wanted some feedback as it could improve the track if i ever do finish it.



Thanks in advance!
