@bassfrequency

very niiiiiice, not much to add here, just that I like the track's atmosphere!

@temtek

I love the screech! But the kick could use some more work, or make a new one from scratch if easier

@DizzleHS89

I really like the track but I can't really tell you anything because I don't know what you are trying to do with that kick shot (is it what it's supposed to be called?). But hey, if I like the track then it means that it's good!

@spac3core

the track is well made, but the kick's sub-bass is drowning the other parts.

@GamerZoneUSA

Check your notes on your melody

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Here's mine (needs some more work and is not finished, obviously)

[typhonmusic]

@ Holder, I like the kick, but the buildup in the intro doesn't really sound like a buildup, the vocals drown out other sounds and sound slightly muffled, the sounds in the mid intro are a bit weird and don't really fit together, and the melody and anticlimax are a bit repetitive. The idea is pretty cool though, it just needs more polishing. Also, how did you make that kick? I've been struggling with kicks like that for ages.

@ GamerZoneUSA, the choir in the beginning is nice, the kick is decent, and the mixdown is pretty good, but some parts of the melody sound a bit random and the notes of the kick don't fit with the melody. I don't think it needs a vocal, but you can add one if you want.

@ spac3core, the kick sounds muddy, the climax at the end is a bit too long, and the whole thing after the first climax needs a bit of work imo (I think it should start leading up to a second climax with a slightly different melody, then to an outro), but I don't see any other flaws. I really like the melody and the lead.

@ DizzleHS89, there's too much reverb, especially in the kick, the screech riff is too repetitive, and the kick needs more bass and less stereo separation. Like I said with Holder, the idea can be nice, but it needs work.

------------------------------------

I'm working on a raw track and a euphoric track, both of which still need some work:

[temtek]

@typhonmusic

The melodies are pretty good on both, but kicks needs alot of working. I cant hear sub-bass at all, and it sounds like its clipping.

Here is my newest piece of track. Intro and mid-intro buildup needs still a lot of working, they sounds pretty empty (aswell outro is just started so it comes out of nothong) . Kick should now be more crispy with decent punch. Aldo worked on screeches.

@Temtek
well u already gave urself feedback i see , enjoying the kick rolls. the screech is a bit thin in my opinion. in overall i quite like the atmosphere in ur track the vocals really fit. nice job so far!

@Typhonmusic

Archangel - Tba2:
Nice build up , enjoying the melody but the leadsound is not really my thing. the climax is really muddy the kick takes way to much room and lacks bass.

Hellraiser - Tba6:
wow i really enjoyed the first build-up, the melody sounds nice too!
not really enjoying your kick again, sorry mate! try eq-ing it in a different way.
the atmosphere is nice and it can really have some potential.

@GamerZoneUSA
the melody is really off man, it’s a bit all over the place, maybe it’s better to work on the melody firstly before adding vocals. it starts of quite nicely, but the melody ruins it for me.

Got some new previews for you guys, my last projects from my crappy 6 year old Macbook! just upgraded my hardware big time so my next projects will probably/hopefully be a bit better. enjoy!

Q-base Anthem 2015 (Anthem Contest)

Multiple Snippets

TBA1

@PERCEPTOR
Q-Base anthem snippet - that 2nd part of the melody could be nice if it stayed like in the first melo, the atmosphere is nice, only the reverb kick is not keen enough as it too loud imo. but its a nice take on the anthem

Multiple Snippet - first, second, fourth snippets are sound soo nice. third is still nice but not energetic abit. the fifth one have nice atmosphere tho. nice snippets overall

TBA1 - nice one man, this snipet are better than the early two snippet. good work, keep it up

@temtek - the screech patterns are great, would be better if the screech be phattened and wide enough. the punch not compatible to the tail imo, make it more harder. but anyways, nice snippet.


So, here's my new project. feel free to give feedback

@dhamiri_blurrboy
Amazing tune man!

My collab with swedish producer Zircuitz


Sorry for my noskill, but I still have problems with mixdown etc and I must sounds improve :c
This track is still WIP because we need to repair some false sounds

[EyezerHardstyle]

Ok, now I found the right thread.
I made a new track recently but it still needs a lot of work. My main question is how I can improve the mixdown.
The mixdown is crap. I have a problem with the second climax leads (2 layers), there's what I think is a high frequency that keeps messing it up. Also, I'd be happy feedback of the track overall, if the idea is good or bad, if the kick is bad or not etc. I was recently told that I have no clue what I am doing (and he didn't tell me why and didn't give me any feedback either :/). Maybe he is right but that won't stop me, you have to start somewhere.

I know it's a slow track (130 bpm) but the melody would sound better at that speed than at 150. I also wanted to experiment a little.
Thanks in advance!

Feedback:
@Nedo, Kick needs a better punch, decent kick though. The pitching is bad, try a different method, it sounds like you pitched it with the auto function in FL studio's Time Stretching which is not a good way to pitch kicks.
Nice drive in the melody and climax overall. Intro and outro is a bit empty though. But overall not bad, this could turn out great if you fixed some stuff!
@temtek, Quite generic to be honest. Decent kick though.
@GamerZoneUSA, The melody sounds really false. If you use FL Studio, go to piano roll and press ALT+B. You'll enable the note helper. I think this function can be helpful. Add your melody into the piano roll and check out how the notes are placed and do some editing.

[GamerZoneUSA]

That's how I've always been making my melodies

Great track ideas however you CAN'T just boost the track volume to get it to the industrial standard of 0dB. That's called clipping my friend, in the mixdown you want your track to be at around -8dB pre-master, then either master yourself if you have the technology and know how, look up mastering tutorials (don't try and search hardstyle related ones, you won't find anything, mastering is mastering) get a proffesional to do it (for money) or try free mastering websites like http://www.landr.com or http://www.basskraft.com/. But before you concentrate on mastering, please watch these and take notes; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDHNENIhrwk,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMt8U77GMKk,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLsleUYBU_s. That should keep you occupied for a while, that's my honest feedback, take it or leave it .

@perceptor

Spoiler

Honestly, not much to say, i like just about every track, melodies however need some work imo, maybe a bit more euphoric

@eyezerhardstyle

Spoiler

I quite like the slow track, cool idea. I know everyone says work on the mixdown, but your track might need some better mixdown and mastering (check what i said to typhon ). Just a small tip, using claps for a buildup isn't really the best, sounds off and unusual because most producers use snares unless they know how to use the claps effectively.

Just a TBA i'm working on, nothing special,oldschool feel, kick WIP, bad mastering That sums it up. Worth finishing or nah? (please don't give mix and master feedback )

@EyezerHardstyle

Thank you for feedback and some tips man
I'll be update
