This is a screenshot of my melody. Can someone tell me which notes to fix? or just give me an idea of what to do?

Okay, here's the midi with the fixed notes.

Yes, as I said above, here's the midi with the fixed notes, but next time don't ask this site to do your homework, success comes from effort and smart work.

Go study some music theory, some notes do not transition well to others, you were using notes that are mainly used for darker/simplistic melodies and trasitioning to notes that are used for brighter melodies (and vice versa).

Raw kicks should sound like spitting something furiously followed by the sound of dogs barking

Sustain: I LOVE it, im loving the style dude. Altough the screech could sound a bit better and clearer.

five-map: Sounds good. You just need to fill out the mix more. I would also experiment with length of the notes.

Here is mine, im still not sure about the 2nd part of the climax.

@SQMDQ

Melody needs a bit chopping/variation and some layering and maybe chords, but thats good so far!

Here is my newest test, worked on the kick alot. Im struggling to make good screech patterns so they suck at the moment, hopefully i come up with good pattern some day:

@Temtek: Damn, Love the FX and the atmosphere in the whole track, the screech needs a bit more work, same with the kick but fucking amazing still! Keep it up!

*edit*

Totally forgot to add my latest track, this is a short preview

@Holder I'm not really a fan of T-Swizz but your bootleg isn't too bad, mixdown needs work in the sense that the vocals are way too loud compared to the rest, the kick needs to be louder and needs more mid frequencies (the party frequencies) that's where the crunch usually is and boosting it by a bit would help. Calm down with your sweeps m80, or atleast make them less ear-rapey :p . The down sweeps at the drop may not be necessary, feel free to use cymbals, claps or other sounds with reverb for FX. But other than that man, thanks for sharing, i enjoyed it :)

@zANIC First of all, your track is clipping at 3:05, just incase you didn't notice yourself. Now here's some constructive feedback; your main concept/melody is not in-time throughout the whole song, make sure, when you start making a track you decide whether it is in 4/4 or 3/4. I may be wrong, but 3/4 has more of a swing feel to it than 4/4. Your track is quite offbeat at some parts and can use some work, your kick is okay.

@sustain Love it, amazing mixdown and master, everything in time, on point, very nice track concept. It's a nice dark track with clear vocals. The only thing i can think of is the lone cymbals between 1:07 and 1:10 they just sound a bit odd, they aren't actually needed imo. Nice fills, nice screech, keep up the good work :)

@SQMDQ I know it's a WIP, i would leave room between the start and the part where you showoff your melo, the lead is very unclear and probably has synths on lower octaves, make sure you have clear sounding synths, with each instance of your synth serving its own purpose (e.g. a main lead with a square sound with a wobble effect [vibrato] and then another lead under which is a detuned saw to phatten up the sound), other than that melody is fine imo, just needs to be clearer, keep working on the kick, distort, eq, distort eq, then layer, eq, layer , eq. Sorry about all the commas ;D

Here is a WIP/TBA (The first part to the preview is a possible concept for the anti-climax). And btw my pc got infected with Ransomware and i lost all my projects lmao, i could barely get my projects let alone loosing all my plugins ;-;

I like your kicks, bases :)

five-map
In my opinion clap does not sounds good over the kicks, it breaks the dynamic feeling of a track + i love more fat and low melodies. Snares in the end appears too loud.

Sustain
I love your tack, listened it in my dj headphones so i cant say anything about mastering and sound,i like how it sounds, but maybe you should to use different keys for kicks, this is what my bro always telling me :D Try to make kick move up and down somewhere.

SQMDQ
i think i understand shat you was planning to do, but now it sounds messy, clean up[eq, echo, compress] melodies and kicks

NRx Hardstyle
Ahoi neighbour, great job, you can also add more low freqs to kicks and it will sound better.
Kick in the end is to loud also.

DaBeatPlayah
I think this is the best track on this page, melody, piano, lead :D Everything is hoe i like, you stole this from my head? :D

SNOOPP: The intro synth and reverse bassline needs some more fatness, the mixdown is quite clear though. The atmosphere is pretty good though. The kick tyhat comes after could use a little bit more more work though, and I'd give the supersaw a little bit more brightness.
The melody in the break fades in nice and smooth but you need to build up towards the drop, right now it comes in quite random. I'm missing out on risers and sweeps.

ThaBeatPlayah: Your kick is a bit muddy, I'd re-equalize it.
Also the break piano is very loud compared to the synth, making it harder to hear the melody than it should be. And like SNOOPP, you need more things leading up the drop, it's very random at the moment. ANd likewise, the kick here is too muddy.

Both of you, keep up the work though :)

I decided to make some music after quite a hiatus due to lack of inspiration and energy, but here's a short WIP:
I'm grumpier than you.

Do people even read these?

Nice track!! nice EQ 2 but the lead is too flat. Need more variation.
Thats the only thing i have to say. :)

My turn. Its not hardstyle but Uptempo Rawstyle. Hope someone listens who is experienced with raw.
Enjoy ;)

Hi there.

I like the feeling of the Track RawnessUnited.
I'm not that much into Rawstyle but i think with an additional screech on top of the first,
you could make some more action in this part. ;)
I hope i could help you with that :)

Now lets see if my preview is something, that you guys like. I hope so ;D
I'm open for everthing.

Peace
