Started to do this thing, I'm not sure about the last seconds, I just tried how it sounds like an octave higher

I like your melody, feels very trancey!
Also the 'lower' one sounds better.

@Valadia: my thoughts are the same as NRx, some of it doesnt seem to be on the right key.
@NRx Hardstyle: Sounds great man, I think it goes to high at the end in my opinion. Kinda sounds a bit repetative with the way the melody goes up at every bar.

@SQM I really like the synth you used for this melody. Very spacy and summery sounding. I'd love to hear what this sounds like with a kick.

Check this 'un out. I know I want to add some more variation to it down the line but idk what it'll be yet.



Oh and I've been producing hardstyle for a few years but I'm fairly new to this forum. Been lurking for a few months but I just recently created an account, lol, so hi everyone!

@NRx Yo I really dig the progression of that melody. That gradual rise you got going on as it progressees is nice. A lot of variation and "twists" that I was pleasantly suprised by. I also gotta give you props on the way you arranged the progression of the kick with the melody. Works beautifully! GJ!

The melody gives it a cool (pre) 2010 feeling! But the lead needs definitly more highs

@DJ Neenyo : The melody is quite cool, sounds really 2008-2009, work on your lead because it's really muddy atm.
@SQMDQ : I'm all mixed about it, while it sounds quite cool like that, i'm not sure it will work with a kick, worth a try
@Valadia : Sounds random to me, sorry.
@The Convicted : Sounds cool, the lower octave works best.

RaVage - Like the bright of your lead, melody are nicely arranged but could be have a liitle chopping at end of certain notes imo, just my taste. but really nice.

DJ Neenyo - as every feedback said, your melody is nice to have that '08-'09 feels, but make the lead have a little bright. but you are nearly there if the nostalgic feeling is what you aim for

SQMDQ - sounds random in my ears, but like that vibrato in your melody, nicely done. Try to reconstruct the melody a bit and i think it will sound fine


keeping this for a couple of weeks, feedbacks are welcomed

[Lifterz]

@dhamiri_blurrboy The melody is good, but you need to add some reverb to your lead because its very dry.

[dhamiri_k]

@Lifterz - thanks for the feedback. your's are really good too..

Pretty really random melody i think, but don't know why i'm in love with it, ahaha

[Zine-Wave]

@Lifterz : sounds really nice, well balanced, like how the kick and melody fit togheter
i have nothing more to say than: good job !

@dhamiri_blurrboy : to be honest, it's not really my taste of melody (sounds a bit all over the place imo)

Had a day off today, so i've took the time to mess around a bit in FL
Here's what i've come up with:

in this one, i wanted to recreate a "90's hardcore like" synth


the second one:


funny fact: the kick i used in both tracks is 50% made of the standard FL "hat" sound
