@Higgarn; Pretty nice oldschooly kinda intro, I like it, try with a regular kick in the second drop to have some variation. Sound design seems good and its a good mixdown.

@Neko: Another banger again :) Really love that screech, but in the breaks its a bit too much happening, maybe try to master it or pan it differently to get a really nice difference in the sounds. Also kick is massive, but high end clashes with the screech, maybe try adding some light sidechain?


Something Ive been working on a while and now ready to release, but I need some feedback on the mixdown and mastering

cool, nice sounddesign but cant say much about it because I dont listen stuff like that normally :D but so far everything seems good(bass, highs, mixing etc).

Btw, there is a special topic for non hardstyle tracks :+

First full track ever produced. I'm not 100% satisfied- It still sounds flat, can someone give me some tips? Spent 26 hours on it in FL studio including fixing some dumb mistakes.

@marmelad - as you said, it's sounds flat, the kick have no punch at all, the screech is good i think, the melo is not my cup of tea imo. I think you didn't master it yet so i might think that's the reason why the track is having a little dynamics at certain part

P/S : as mentioned from the topic title, you might need to give feedback to the person above you before you could post your snippet. when you listen some of them, they might have some elements that bringing you some ideas (if they're good) on how they achieve that certain sound. Or go hear some tracks on youtube or sc from the artist/underground producers that produce quality tracks, might give you some motivation there. :)

Higgarn wrote:typhonmusic yeah will workon that it is still not done but i agree with the vocals. right now it is so hard to fix it because of its random volumes and frequencys.

your dnb sounds like a hardcore drop in my ears, and i think its awsome. :)

Update

Like the others said, unusual build up, but that's not a problem. And the screech only has the high hz, but i think you fixed that by now. Like the reverse kick, and i'm not sure if i'm supposed to hear the vocals in the back or not. Either way, it sounds good, gives it a nice feel

Neko wrote: I love it! Crossbreed never was the thing for me, but i get why it is for some people. Since i'm not really into that i cant judge on a profound basis, i just can say that i really like it. But technically spoken, you need to work on your mix. Everything is clipping. Your snareroll at 6 secs has too much reverb for me. Cant say anything more cause its way too short. ;)

@Higgarn
Nice reverse bass you got there. Other than typhon i think the plucky synth fits quite well there. Vocals are still way too much in the background.. give a nice atmosphere to it but they are just not understandable. The mainscreech seems a bit thin, like you've cut it at 500-600 hz or something. They need more midfrequencies i guess. Nice idea with your background screech behind your mainscreech, it makes the track full.
Your lengths are a bit uncommon though. 3x16 bars for mixing intro and then the drop with no short break. Never really heard this kind of intro, you got with the flow with 2x16 bars or 4x16 bars and then drop it into the reversebass. Do what you want ofc, I'm just telling you what i notice :) and i miss a bit of a maintheme in your track. I know its just the midintros, but when you have a maintheme after your midintros, put some elements of your theme into your midintros too for an affiliation in your track between your parts.
Feedback on a high level though, nice job.

@Holder
So the mainproblem for me to judge your kick is actually your mix... The synth takes up so much room i cant tell the details in your kick (which you should fix ;) ) the things i can hear is that your kick has a nice character in the tail, the punch has no power though. Maybe try to layer your punch with others (how to make punches is actually pretty easy just look it up on youtube). Overall the kick seems really muddy. EQ is your way to go there. Cant tell you how to EQ it unfortunately cause it differs from kick to kick.
And you should look up some synth tutorials too. ;)


Ok a new track is born. What do you think?
Your track can't be found anymore.

I'd love for you to take a look at this:

@Marmelad: Raw style is not my favorite style, don't like the melody so much. Your kick is real heavy and that is a positive thing. I like that

@NRx Hardstyle: this track is fkng awesome bro. Quality over quantity :)




Made this track a while ago, but I want to know what you guys think. Be completely honest, be true (H)

@marmelad: Kick needs a lot of work, can barely hear the bass. Sounds like you need to process it more, try adding layers, and add a bass layer. Your track could use some pads in it too, some parts sound very quiet/nothing going on.

@BasT91: That sounds really good, very old school. Only things I can point out, is the lead has too much white noise, if you know what I mean. Also could use some more stereo separation on things. Overall sounds really good.

Here is my remix of the Interstellar theme :)

@BasT91, first thing I noticed is that your kick lacks a good punch man.
Mid-intro has a nice drive to it, but overall it's pretty empty, try to fill it up with some background FX.
Break is nice, nice trancey feel to it, but your chords in the beginning sound pretty thin, it's always a bit of a gamble to do that, if you do it, make sure your leads are thick enough :) Melody is really nice in the climaxes ;)

@SQMDQ
Really try to work on your kick man, saw leads sound pretty thin and the mix isn't really great. Your leads have way too much high freqs in there and in the climax your kick pushes everything away. The concept is really good, only the sounddesign is not there yet (will come with the time :))

In the meanwhile we were busy with this:
