A nice dark melody, maybe try to improve it by adding more notes
In my opinion there is too much low frequencies, as a result, the track sounds a bit muddy
You should add pads, chords, stuff like this, to create an atmosphere, and add a bit of variation to your percussions (also think about reverb on it, to make it even darker)

@Pinago
Wow ! For a first snippet the melody sounds awesome ! The second one needs a bit more variations, otherwise good job on it !
Adding snares just before the climax would make it a bit better, also think about reverse crashes and crashes
The mixdown sounds correct, even if the kick sounds a bit louder (mostly the bass), try to reduce a bit the volume / EQ it properly
The construction is interesting, keep working on this
As a conclusion, I would say that the whole stuff is pretty nice, work harder and you'll get something really cool

I've been working on something softer :

Don't like that piano, not melody wise but it doesn't reveal the atmosphere you wanna create with this melody. Same for the leads. It can be interesting and atmosphere could be great, but sounds used don't fit imo. Kick needs more work.

Pinago
Nice melody, sounds groovy. Too much saws in your lead in my opinion, top layer does not pop up as it should. Also, when kicks came in, I think you should do 2x8 bars cause it's a bit short this way.

KRB-MP
I'm not into this "cyber" style but it's good, I like the whole atmosphere, sounds peaceful. Transition 1:55 is a bit harsh, background saws are a bit too soft imo.

@KRB-MP sounds and all that are decent, but I think this chord progression is used a lot (if you're feeling it though, it's all good!)

i'm working on a darkstyle track...


I could be in my own world with this idea, but it's a new proof of concept (to myself)

i will comment last tracks tommorow because im '' screwed '' tommorow allready

yet i would love to post the update because i kinda love it about '' long live the king ''
i kinda dont like the kick yet , as written above , it can sound clearer / more darker / more pure
but for the structure , thats i think what has improved.
what you guys think ?

Edit : before new posts i changed some things , the kicks , some faders i changed , it sounds more done to me now
i dont know what i should change / ad , or edit more to it
let me know

some track comments

KRB = human disease , the overal sound when the drop comes , sounds a bit '' flat '' for me personal , i dont know , maby make it '' wider '' the sound .maby a reverb / decay on the lead will do the trick to make it sound bigger .
for the rest i like this catchy melody , good breaks , good in my opinion .


-------------

@pinago = i like it in overal . yet there are some points to work on i think , i miss claps as a guide towards the qlimax , and other precussions , also a detail :
i dont like the sudden sound ending at 0:50 , maby use a fade out , that is used a few seconds later , a few seconds earlier , to let it fade out nicely and let the next lead take over the silence .
i like the idea overall in this track snippet . good working .

@krb wonderfull pain , i like the melody again , kick good , the sudden volume change at 1:27 , suddenly is maby a idea to make it more smoother , give it more time to build up to that volume .
it kinda makes me think about = arix - nova , and i like that track
also i like in general

Soundphase : escape the simulation .
yes ! , i love the oldscool fat kicks ! , the little spacy twingles , you have to love it , but i kinda see were its going , and i kinda like it , i would not mind listning to it .

but if you say darkstyle , i dont know if to hear it as hardstyle , and comment it as hardstyle .
if yes , i would say , make the flat sound bigger , and let it pop out .
do what you feel is good !

Thanks. I actually made a completely new breakdown and melod. I meant to call it darkcore, but it's kind of hardstyle (like early traditional hardstyle). It's on 140BPM. I think I will make two versions of the track since I also like this wacky melo (which is in this snippet). The full intro is dope (and really trippy).

Gunner1001, build was nice, of course still some improvement needs done (y) but overall well done

[Freakwave]

@Gunner1001: your kick needs a lot of work, but aside from that I think you did well on establishing an atmosphere in this track

@JensJacobsen: This is definitely a track I would put in my playlists. If you want to improve I've got some nitpicky stuff:

• In the kick-change at 0:28 you lose the depth and energy of your sound. Even though your kick sounds really well. But I'm not as good of a producer to know what is missing.
• The vocals at 0:46 start too soon. Not by much, but maybe just 1 beat (if that is the English term). Therefore this whole vocal part seems kinda off rhythm.

But I really like:

• The sound from the transition to your Melody with your Kick together at 1:46
• The overall energy at 1:50 (this has a really catchy drive!)
• The fast pitch change of you kick at 2:25

@Jens Nice track.. I like the breakdowns you made, and the buildups to the climax are nicely done. Interesting track.. could imagine this being signed somewhere (Dirtyworkz?) I also got a bit of The Pitcher vibe.

I have something very different, warning: might be a mood killer if you don't feel like dark/oldschool!


Tell me if you think something could be changed/bettered

I was going for the 2006 asbest tracks style

the other mix:

@Soundphase
Wow, seriously it sounds like if it was made a decade ago ahah
The structure is good, I'd say that the intro is maybe a bit long
Even if you were going for a 2006 like track, it lacks a bit of high frequencies and clarity on some samples
The kicks are really as they were at that time
Pretty nice to listen to something like this in 2019 !

Ok, back to our time, here's (again) something Euphoric, I've tried to improve my transitions and buildups, also making the leads wider
