Nice atmosphere right there ...I think your lead have too much pitch in my opinion, the attack of the lead sounds a little strange, but the kick is good, the melody and the atmosphere too! <3 finish it bro its really a good track!

guys, what do you think about this one?

You should stretch your kicks, when you pitch them, so they have the same length as the original un-pitched kick. I use kontakt for that, but there are many ways. Else, it sounds good.

My entry:

Nice work, wich DAW do you use? I like the melodypart, but the kick got some noise in the background that sounds a bit weird?!

This is my track:


Some feedback would be nice

@towaace
The mixing intro is too short and the first drop comes too quick. Normally youd have double mixing intro length and atleast 4x the lenght between end of mixingintro and first drop, normal is like 8x I think, all in comparison to yours. The screech in the midintro sounds really dry so try to add more reverb and delay maybe. Kick sounds nice, really liek the pitch down effect there.
After the midintro the laughter is too loud in the mix. The synth sounds nice though. The vocal before the drop is not understandable so work on that maybe too. The melody though seems to be on a wrong note. The route tone of the melody seems to be a G#, where your kicks are on A#. Just doesnt go well together. You decide: Kicks on G# or pitch up the melody to A#. The anti-climax there could use some more effects, since its the same pattern than your first drop there needs to be change. The melody drop sounds really solid, just an overuse of crashes during the climax.
Mixodwn seems pretty alright so far. On a positive note: You use your crashes and percussions really well in the buildups, dont use so many in the drops though.
Hope this helps


@Synthese
The Midintro-Synth dominates the mix so much the kick has literally no space unfortunately. The synth in the break is really thin, give it more body with layering it. And its also too upfront in the mix during the climax. The break sounds a bit too simple and empty, few effects would help it a lot and different pads and or plucks before the melody comes in you know? Not a big fan of the melody unfortunately, misses a bit atmosphere for me. Second cliamx is better in this regard, the rhythm in the melody is easier so it has way more drive.
So try to mix down your track around your kick. Adjust every sound to your kick so the kick has more space to breathe. For more indepth: http://harderstate.com/tutorials-f22/ma ... 27479.html
Hope I could help


@The Raven
The kick is awesome man! But you really gotta work on your mix, sounds really muddy. Sounds like a compressor is on the master. Not a big fan of the melody, cause its structure seems unpredictable and random-ish and lacks a bit of atmosphere. Everything else sounds quite good to me, great attempt on EHS. Would love to get more into detail but its hard with that mixdown. Details getting pushed back so I can barely hear them.

Worked a lot on my newest track what do you guys think?

[NRx Hardstyle]

@Neeko; Fuck thats an awesome track, everything is clear and loud, pro sounding stereo field! The tail of the kick is a bit short in the high lows ~90-150hz but still a good punch and clarity as well as it fills up the mix.


Released a few days ago, but Im working the original mix of this track, for free release later, Ive heard that my main kick lacks a bit punch but what do you guys think?

[TheBassliner]

Omg bro, old feelings <333...I really like this track, nice melody, nice kick, nice screech and synths...are you using some limiter in the master?...sometimes is too loud, and sometimes the volume is down!...for me I think it's the only problem that you can solve mixing hehe but congrats for this track!

please, can someone give some feedback?...I think I can't put the atmosphere I want in my tracks

[PERCEPTOR]

@Neko
Sounds professional and is nicely structured, Mix-down: overall I think you have a lack of low tones, and to many high tones. love the break, well structured and a nice vocal, overall i think you did a great job!

@Nrx
Love the reversed bass in combination with that screech, gives it really and oldschool flow!
great leadsound! the only bad point is that the kick in the climax sounds lower in volume then the rest of the sounds in your track, further it sounds really euphoric and really great!

@The bassliner
your screech sounds great + nice sounddesign in the mid-intro. I don't know about your melody, it's hard to follow and goes a bit all over the place..

I worked further on a preview that I posted a few weeks ago, I understand that it needs some fine tuning but what do you guys think of the overall idea of the track?

[Inceptum]

@Perceptor
Cool vocals. Everything sounds clean, but a bit too clean for my taste to be honest. Maybe some extra reverb (on the leads / sounds) would solve some of that. Besides that i think you can add some more FX, for example sweeps and just atmospheric stuff. Good luck!

@Neko
Powerfull track! I think your kick is just a little too loud compared to the rest, it stands out more than the rest in my opinion. Could be a matter of taste. Other than that, nicely done!


So lately i've been working on several tracks, including this one. Actually wanted to know what you guys think so far, feedback would be highly appreciated!
ps. In my projects i work with lowered volume, keeping the ears safe .

[SNOOPP]

The RaveN, really nice oldschool vibe
Synthese, can you make lead sound not so high? And sometimes i feel like there is a mess with the melos
towaace, high freqz are missing and i maybe something on the mid + maybe you can make lead sound more open and fat? Then it will be a great track.
Neko, kick is sick + track is interesting, great job man!
NRx Hardstyle, nice track bro!
TheBassliner, melody is great bot too loud as i think + mixdown can be better.
PERCEPTOR, sounds really interesting but sound is somehow "closed", you should master better to make everything louder. +eq more.
Inceptum WOW, sounds really great, make eveyrhing louder and will be pure art i think that you know all about this well.

I was checking out your stuff using my headphones what i use last 4 years for playing so maybe some sound benefits were missed.

My stuff:

[Vestritz]

@Neeko: really good track man! But in my opinion the kicks are too loud in the first drop, just my taste Cool melody, like the lead. good vocals btw

Here is my song, hope you like it:

@Neko,

I like the overall mix of the track but, the thing I'm annoyed by is the reversed punch. I get what you want to do but now it just feels if the punch is coming too. Kick needs some work, the lows are not really coming through somehow. The punch/tok is also really sharp, try to EQ that out a little. Keep it up

@NRx
Like the reversed bass! It sounds like your main kick is a bit too short. Plus your leads are drowning in reverb haha, try to use a sidechained reverb (link it to ghost notes) that way the beginning of your sound is clean and you have better control of the reverb. Further than that, keep it up man. Getting better each time

@The bassliner, love the screech man, but what I notice is that your kick lacks power. a lot of it in the mid-lows. When it pitches it gets a bit worse and then your sub disappears. So try to work on that. And indeed, the melody is pretty chaotic. Synth sounds nice tho

@Perceptor, your kicks misses a lot of high frequencies, it sounds a bit muddy now. The screech sounds ok but the leads surely need more work. They sound pretty dry and thin if you compare it to the kick and screech. So try to tackle that point.

@Inceptum, what can I say? You have a great atmosphere in the track (what we tried in below preview as well haha) I can't think of anything to say, can't wait untill it comes out

@snoopp, I think you use Sylenth for your leads? (Can be wrong) at least, I hear a loooot of high frequencies that are screwing with your mix. Kicks sound ok to me. only in the last preview when it pitches up it sounds like it's too short.

@Vestritz, Kick has a good base to work fromout! Needs a bit longer tail (in my opinion) and the lows are missing. Leads are sounding pretty thin, so try to layer it. Now you have a really high layer, try to put a layer underneath it that sings an octave lower. Screech is a bit muddy in the mid intro and mid outro. Try to get that one a bit cleaner. OVerall there's a lot of reverb on the track.


So, here's what we're working on at the moment. First track is a bit more trancey and in the beginning phase. In the second track we wanted to bring back that old fusion sound a little bit more. That one is also still under construction, so any feedback/ideas are welcome!

Chaze, nope, its virus
