@Asklepios Really like the synth! Just add some reverb and I think you got it!
@Neko Really like the whole atmosphere and how rough it is.. In the part around 2:40 probably just me but I don't really like that first kick.. Maybe keep the second one through that whole part.. Other than that it's a well produced track!
@NRx Love the climaxes and the kick and how you keep the same sound through the song.. Do you have reverb on your kick? It sounds a little weird to me.. I like it... Just curious how it's Eq'd
@Skyhaze - your kick needs to be stronger IMO.. I like your climax but I feel like that part between 2:22 and 2:50 is unnecessary and kinda ruins it for me haha.. It sounds nice but it kinda feels really dragged out you know?


Something I've been working on the past few weeks I think it sounds really good especially the melody haha

The kick is a bit panned both ways, if you listen to the track in mono it has a small phase, Im fixing it right now :D And no, I dont use much reverb, just a bit in the finishing stages, but only if It fits the whole mix, also I distort the reverb a little bit to give it some more crunch ;)

@GamerzoneUSA I'm sorry, but you have a lot to improve. The melody is way too random and out of tune and your track is too loud in the main part. Also the kick isn't pitching well. Only positive things I can say about your track is that your kick is nice, you can still improve a lot but it is going the right way. Also your screeches are nice, but you have to improve on your mixdown!!

Check out my track. Little bit old already, but my designer is slow... I hope you like it ;)

@Gamerzone - that melody is still random, but somehow, the notes of the kick i feel like it hit the same notes with the bassline in your melody, which is a neat improvement. other than that, focus to not make the melody to random in arrangement. imo, maybe this snippet fits a screechy track because i hear your screech pattern is nice tho. the other thing you need to watch out is your mixdown. the first part of the snippet is way abit quiet while the melody part is really loud. balance your levels so that your track will be hearable to the crowd imo. good job by the way.

@synthese - i can feel the vibe of 2008/2009/2010 hardstyle tracks. that melody catches me. the break of the track is somehow really builds up for the feeling to get ready for the bassdrops. nice man. cheers

so, this is just a basic idea of my remix of We Never Give Up by Davire Ft. Morra. and yes i'm using fronty's kick, which is seriously really not good :( :'( . but i hope i just use it for demo purposes. so enjoy



EDIT : for those who can't see my snippet, you can review it now.

Guys there's two tracks :( and also Dh your thing is down and the bassline and the kick notes are the same.. just like in my past few tracks.. I put my bassline seperately. I just haven't posted them here and the mixdown I noticed wayy after and working on fixing that. I was just trying to get something up quick.

Even if your kick is playing on for example a G, it can still be dissonant towards a saw wave playing on g if you haven't made the kick properly.
When you distort the kick or bassline, it needs to be done harmonically so that it doesn't get dissonant in the process.
I'm grumpier than you.

Do people even read these?

@gamerZoneUSA, previous post have already said everything ! keep working
@synthese, really nice drive! I think the kick is to quiet, maybe try to cut a bit more your intro,
to make it a bit less repetitive, otherwise pretty good
@dhamiri_blurrboy, can't read your file :/

here is mine !

@Synthese Your kick seems to lack crunch.. Nice track. everything sounds nice.. But to me it seems like you have like 4 climaxes.. The sytnths are really similar... I felt like in the beginning the kick was gonna pitch but it didn't

@Dh that vocoder you're using doesn't sound good at all, really like that melody.. I think the synth could be better and yea Fronty's kick is meh haha other than that you did a good job.

@ Sustain @1:47 when your kick pitches it sounds really weird.. like It's hard to explain like the tail comes in twice maybe idk it just sounds weird maybe it's just me.. Overally really nice track though! How'd your kick to sound so clean? Mine doesn't sound as good haha maybe it's just your kick



I fixed a lot of the mixdown and I changed the melody and a few other notes here and there a little bit.. this sounds a lot better than that other preview haha
