@Dizzle - the screech is kind of metalic sounding for me and its over repetitive imo, try to layer another screech, variate the frequencies and widen the reverb you might have a nice screech..the kick might okay if it stays the same pitch, but above all, i think you are getting somewhere...nice work mate

@Asklepios - Great work mate, i can feel the code black vibe like the others do too...keep it up

@D-Tekz - The 2nd one is nice, i almost feel audiofreqy style in it the first one is okay tho, but still nice..good job mate

here's a snippet of mine, working on a new track..thanks in any feedback

@Dhamiri: Sounds great, kick is powerfull and snappy, I do like the fxkicks as well. Overall just fill it up with more small stuff and then its awesome!


Here is an Euphoric track im working on:

@NRx Hardstyle: Sounds great! Tho the kick lacks some power... Overall the track reminds me of some Omegatypez stuff :) Really good one! Keep it up!

Here is the intro + midintro of my newest production:

@akachaostheory

wow I don´t know what to say... this is just beyond cool! The kick is huge and the distorted synth combined with the FX is really nice! Really good sound design and also a very clear mixdown! This is exactly the style I like. Your Style would perfectly fit some gated kicks btw ;) Would love to give you some more feedback, but in this clip is literally nothing I dislike! Proper stuff! You got yourself a follower :D

@NRx Hardstyle

Like already said the kick is alright but needs more power. The intro is not my cup of tea but this is just matter of taste I think :) cool Idea overall. The only thing that really bothers me is the crash. You need to lower the delay on this one. It lasts too long and is a bit too loud as well :) I mean the crash at for example 2:21 or 3:12.
But keep it up! Í like it and you should just stick with it! Sounds good so far but there is just a bit missing :)

This one is a track I finally finished after about 2 years. I restarted the project 3 times, added new kicks and stuff (one project file even got corrupted, thanks FL! :+ ). I posted about that track here twice already (last time was about a year ago) haha but I just recently finished it. Its a bootleg thingy of the main theme of the "Phantom Of The Opera" I am a big fan of.



The second one is just an idea I got last night. Would love to hear your opinions :)

@sohaBay
If I have one tip to give you, it would be to forget about trying to learn mastering. Ppl go to school to learn that stuff and it's better to let professionals handle that job. Try to focus on making your songs sound as good as possible and honestly, when you'll be good enough, you're tracks are gonna sound almost as good as mastered tracks.
As for your track, I'm really diggin the lead/melo and the atmosphère. I think it's quite original and refreshing I like it a lot! You're probably gonna hear that often but you still need to work alot on your kicks. Practice, practice and practice! It's really hard, dont give up!
One last thing, you are supposed to give feedback before posting your tracks, just a little reminder ;)

@NRx Hardstyle
Melody and lead is also very cool, I'm diggin. Very often we underestimate the power of the punch. It is indeed as important if not more important than the tail in a hardstyle kick. I think if you worked a bit more on the punch of your kick it could be 10x better! Also, @4:02 the crash on the drop is really loud and harsh, maybe try lowering the volume and adding a bit of reverb (that you cut at 200hz) to try to make it transition rlly nice with your climax :)


Here's the new track I'm working on, hopefully I can get some feedback on it :3

But yeah artists get their stuff mastered by someone hired to do just that at labels. Headhunterz never did his mastering himself. Although nothing restrains you from putting a tinny bit of multiband compression on your track if its not getting released by a label or you just want to excite it a bit more.

Regarding mastering: you could try out the mastering effect/plugin in adobe audition. Its a simple effect with a few settings but its really powerful tool and allows you to do quickly master your track pretty good. Ofcourse its not professional but I had way more success mastering with this tool than I had doing it manually(eq, compressor, etc) :D

hello everyone.

Its been a while.

@dizzlehs89

i like youre idea's but my only advice here is learn more about the tools you are using to make youre music.
as in try to get to know youre DAW etc and how to use samples/Synths/etc. Keep going at it ;)

@dhamiri

i really can hear that you are getting better and i like that. i know alot of some older tracks of you and i really like the sound of this. the only advice here is maybe work a little more on the kick. it sounds clean but can be fuller.

@ Nrx Hardstyle

i like it and it sounds clean and such but there is some rare snappy thing in the attack of youre kick. it almost sounds like a metronome click i use when recording stuff... the melody i think is pretty good and also the synths you choose are very well fit.

@gradius,

That kick is sick and i really like that, but yeah how do i say this.. some of the choices you made i would have made differently, i get what youre aiming at with some of the percussion for example. but i really do not like those samples/sounds (dont know if you make them yourself) but you get me. for the overall track i think its great and i really enjoyed it nevertheless


@darasais

The phantom is here.
i like youre ideas, and the track sounds good to me. only thing i can say is maybe make it fuller. it sounds kinda empty in youre intro for example. Also in the climax it could have been more of a spectacle than that it is now.



@soha bay

the melody is very nice (imo) and i like the synths youre using. but yeah mixdown... i myself have much to learn but the kick sounds very dull at the moment it has to have much more impact. really diggin the melody tho.

i myself have been away for some time haha, busy with alot but really wanted to share something again,

i was busy with this today :



Just want some opinions on the sound design etc.
doing some experimental things and such

I changed my alias by the way from greentech to BinariX haha before i forget :P

@Daniro for the first one at 2:56 add a kick roll. The atmosphere is impressive and I can tell you put a lot of work into this I love the way everything sounds. Maybe add a climax? And replace the part at 4:11 with it.

For the second one I love the atmosphere and melody just need to work on the mixdown.

@Soha Bay Love the atmosphere and the lead but yea you need to work on the kick it sounds really muddled in the mix.

@Greentech Really loving the atmosphere and the sound design! Maybe raise up the mids a little bit in your kick. I can tell there's a whole lot going into that sound design it's awesome!

Been working on this since October. New kick and lots of changes haha

@GamerZoneUSA - your new kick seems pretty nice now, your melodies might some of it out of tune abit but the pitch of bassline melody is somehow matches the kick pitch, which is pretty good and major improvement. the main lead could be use more detuning or a use of slight distortion could help, and it would be right if it glides a little more..the arrangement might need a little work more, vocals could give a little eq and compress it because at 1;54, it's seems a litlle too loud. But, overall..as i mentioned, I can see major improvement on your productions, keep it up bruh.. :D


@greentechnl - well, your productions are seemingly pretty good too man, love the kick and screech...if the kick made more crunchy it is okay too...great job

and thank for yor and @NRx Hardstyle for the feedback. I appreciate it
