@datbeatplayah: Reminds me of HHZ - Scrap attack from 09. Otherwise I fuckin love it!

[Asklepios]

@datbeatplayah: Piano is too linear, needs more velocity variations but can be really good. Kick needs more power, but you got a nice atmosphere with the melo, sounds a bit mystic imo.

@EyezerHardstyle: If you listen to your track from 1:10 to 1:34, you have your lead occuping most of the space. Then the kick arrives and there is no space available. Try to make some space for your sounds (eqing at first).Build up is not that good imo, transitions needs work.

@Nedo: sounds like an euphoric track, but the kick doesn't fit, too hard. Melody is quite groovy so you can get a nice tune out of it. Just take the time to put the right sound to the right place.


Haven't produced hardstyle since ages. No feedback needed. Just had some quick fun with FL.

@DaBeatPlayah:
Like Asklepios said, piano sounds quite linear. Also, maybe try to build up your drop with snare loops etc. I really like the synth though sounds awesome. The kick seems alright too, but the mix seems a bit muddy on the other hand.
Great job!

@Asklepios
Synth sounds huge, but simply lacks reverb, it sounds really dry. Ofc its just a quick remake, dont think I need to mention the lack of buildup towards the drop Nothing other than that to criticise here, sounds really preofessional.

@ExezerHardstyle:
Well like everybody mentioned the biggest problem the track faces is its mix. But great concept, sounds fine so far.


After quite a long time I almost finished a new track, this time its a remix for Nexogyn - Darkside (Origial track in spoilers)

[krip deejay]

hey guys loving your track neko am new to this would love to get some feedback on what i could do better this is the first track i have worked oon everhad my computer etc just under a year now

[NRx Hardstyle]

@Neko: Great remix!

@Krip: Might look in to some more eq on the kick and mixdown of the whole thing


Something Ive been working on:

[Skyhaze]

@krip: Punch and kick sound like they were in stereo, make them more in mono and your kick needs more lower bass, from 40hz - about 100hz or so. Do you have some stereo processor or smth like that on your master channel? You need to lowcut your sounds too, when they play together with kick, for that you can use a high-pass filter to cut out all the bass (up to 150hz-200hz). The idea is good, I like it tho What DAW do you use btw? Then I could maybe help you more Keep going man, for the first track it's really good! My first tracks sounded like complete rubbish haha

@NRx: Wow, thats good! But is it me or does the kick sound like it was panned a bit to the right? May be my ears, I just finished working on my track and ears could be worn out. Climax needs something louder before the drop imo, sounds a bit weak to me. The kick is awesome tho, really clean and has a nice crunch Lead could use some more power maybe, try distorting it and try to make it sound harder? Maybe it's just my taste tho Overally a really nice track, waiting for the outcome

And now I post my WIP track, starting to finish it soon, how does it sound now? Is the lead okay? Is the kick okay? How is the mixdown?

@Skyhaze

I think your track is pretty solid so far. Besides the mixdown there is only one thing that is bothering me. The kick in the climax got a pretty strange tok and is not punchy at all. Sounds a bit like its just a clap and a tail. The tail is good though.
But the mixdown needs some work! First of all I don´t know if this is the perfect way but I always boost the kick at around 500hz and 2000hz and lower it a bit at around 1000hz. At the leads I do it the other way around. I boost it around the 1000hz area and lower it at 500hz and 2000hz. It of course depends on the sounds but when I play with it a bit it always seems to work with me
Secondly its pretty impossible to understand the vocals. Is that wanted? even tho its wantet I would raise the vol of it a little
Nice upliftig track!

[Skyhaze]

@daniro: Thanks man, will work on the mixdown more!

[krip deejay]

@skyhaze thanks man had ozone on the master maybe the stereo imager maade it sound funny i use abbleton mate and used logic to make my kick really like your track

[Skyhaze]

@krip okay man, most of ozone stuff is for mastering imo and my advice would be, that you use them when mastering (but I would leave mastering to experts aswell). Just put a SPAN and Schope (analyzer and oscilloscope) on the master with linear eq or smth, nothing else should be there imo When doing mixdown (easier to do with bounced stems of your track, so you record your lead and everything WITHOUT master eq and reverb/delay on it and put the stems into a new project, so the CPU has less work to do and you can focus on plain eq and mixing) Just the ways I do my music, although putting stems back together in a new project is a bit of a headache

Keep going dude
