@Climax; the tok is way too loud. try instead add some low punch to get that pumping feeling. I do like it though, the energy and power is there, get working and its gonna be a absolute banger!
@Perceptor; The TBAMidintro is really good, you got a good punch and the screech is really cool as well. I think the kick lacks a bit mids, because it feels very empty. Otherwise you are off to a great start.

I am really confused if I should actually continue with this one.

@Nrx - Love the arpeggio man, but might be need to avoid using it at the climax cause it dosen't combine well with the climax lead imo. The intro's drive seems pretty good. You could continue this tho because it's awesome sounding, or maybe take a break from this project and try to blend something that fits with the track. Good job mate.

@PERCEPTOR - for the concept of the mid intro, it should be fine, try to create a sound fx or other thing that could smoothly transitioned between the kicks and you can move on. For the eastern build up, it kinda nice too.
might could try add a subswell for extra feeling at the build up (but it's okay to cut the subswell from that 20hz region). at 2:06, try to play different filter effect on the kick (basic highpass @ telephone filter sound). But all the way you're good to go.



Well, i just want to get freaky with some kick & bass action. Wanted to make a techy style of hardstyle but might be to freaky to be techy haha. The chords are inspired from Deadmau5 - Imaginary Friends.

@dhamiri_blurrboy

the idea is neat, it's always good to experiment.

the synths are good, especially the second (starting from 0:32) but you shouldn't 'break the rhythm' (0:36 to be specfic) because it can be confusing for the listener. the drop is not really my style unfortunately.

mixdown-wise, the kicks could use more power and the percussion elements, especially the hi hats are quite loud compared to the rest.

@NRx Hardstyle

straight up Da Tweekaz-style

you've got a great track there, i'd only mention one thing. you could use some pitchkicks in the climax. i guess it'd add some excitement to it. mixdown-wise, nothing to add, really. clean sounds, kicks have power, nice leads. keep it up!

@NRxHardstyle: A nice 'n' bouncy track, a strong Da Tweekaz influence is evident Has a solid build and great breaks. The variation to the sequence of the synth at 0:50 is adding a nice rhythm to counter the previous section of the drop. The start of the track has a strong drive. Definitely continue! However the lead melody needs some improvement, throw in some triplets, to create more of a shuffle rhythm. Other than that, fatten the synth up a tad. beyond that, it's a solid track with a lot of potential and I'm curious to see how it will turn out! really, really nice job man!

@dhamiri_blurrboy: You need to fatten up the kick, it feels weak, turn down the ride a tad too, and it feels more upfront than the kick itself in the mix. The concept is definitely there, especially in the intro, it's fast paced, and with some improved sound design would really have a potential to drive. The break feels empty, add some bass to the start. The drop feels very disconnected and a little spontanous, you can possibly fix this by increasing the length and effects within the build. Otherwise, nice job!

@nerz: the harmonies created by the pads are suitable for the track. However the kick feels weak, and I feel like it's missing a lot of low end, try to either sample a kick, or use a few kicks you like, and layer sections of them so to see whether you can create something that's larger and more present. The melody like the pads, create a suitable atmosphere, however, they feel a lot more 'happy' try to write in a harmonic scale, I find that they usually have some dark tones in them, or use diminished and augmented chords. With some alterations, it should really carry a dark, and eviiilllllllllllllll punch!

I've always been fascinated by Wasted Penguinz's approach to production, the whole energetic, yet still highly euphoric tracks, with very emotive vocals samples. Big fan of the guys. So I had my own little shot sort of like a tribute I guess... it's been in progress for around a day and a bit, and I'm unsure whether or not to continue Any thoughts?

[SQMDQ]

@dhamiri_blurrboy: The bit from 2:22 sounds pretty cool. I like the screeches you've put in. Like people have already said, the ride sounds too loud. Also the mid needs way more crunch/mids. The reverse bass sounds nice though. The lead from 2:08 needs more body imo. Try adding a supersaw underneath it.

@nerz: The mixdown is really good and the reverse bass sounds great . However the supersaw could sound fatter with more reverb and delay. It sounds like the screech is lacking in reverb too. Bit from 4:22 sound really nice. Keep at it!

@EnceladusMusic: Vocals sound great with the track. Mixdown is also good. Lead sounds nice and 'summery'. Only thing I can say is that the kick doesn't really suit the melody. It does sound like Wasted Penguinz style, very happy and euphoric, I like it!

Here is mine This started out as a Drum and Bass track, but I thought it sounded better with a hardstyle kick

[kauchris]

@SQMDQ
Really cool soft melody. The synth style reminds me a bit of Azeon (somebody know him? ;-) )
You should mix this Track with a Dn'B part maybe?


Yea, this is one of my new tracks. Just listen :-)

[EnceladusMusic]

@SQMDQ: I like it, the melody is euphoric. However I feel the kick lacks some punch. I'm not sure in which element though. It sounds good, but it feels like there is something missing. The break is lovely, the start adds a nice ambient touch, and then it progressively builds. Very nice. Also, like kauchris said, it would be interesting with some DnB element for some variation, or alternatively, something a bit like a hip-hop groove in the break. Very nice man, keep it up

@kauchris: The screeches in the mid-intro are nice, but the chords feel discordant, try to fix this, and the mid-intro will definitely improve. The orchestral section in the break is lovely, i really like it but the transition to the lead melody feels awkward. The climax is consistent, and pretty nicely overall, and transitions fairly smoothly back into the break/buildy bit. The kick in the second climax doesn't seem appropriate for the style. It might do well in the intro/outro though! Overall it's fairly solid, but that can be improved with working on the transitions between sections of the track. Keep it up

So, I like Porter, a lot, liked him since the early days, but enough about being a Porter Robinson hipster fan. I decided I would remix sea of voices, because it's a beautiful track. But I'm unsure about the general solidity of the track. Any advice?

[Sashone]

@ kauchris leads and melody sound good

@EnceladusMusic Not my style at all But think the kick could do with more punch imo. I like how the vocals are used but, even tho i'm not a fan of them. Trancey atmosphere . I'm Not a good producer so thats all i can say sorry.

Been Listening to artists like fracture 4, Embrionyc recently.
Don't know what I've produced just tried something different. First tried To not use any hardsounds but was toiling because the track sounded to empty. I know the kick is crap still not finished it. I'm going for a more hardcore one. BPM is 145, slowed it down to try to help with atmosphere...

Track Name, Eternally Grateful

@sashone, really nice melody! But the kick thing , is a little weird

@kauchris, i agree, melody is nice and lead too (:

@encelaud music, catchy melody, only work a little more on the kick

This is my latest project in which i use my kick, synth and also my mixdown level, what do you think guys (:

[Neko]

@Kauchris
Enceladus already explained well teh problem with the screeches. The arrengement of the screeches in the midintro is really good though, It has quite some drive. Also like Enceladus said teh transition between first break and melody sounds off.
Lead sounds a bit thin overall but good. Some small polish with an EQ on it and its perfectly fine. Both kicks in teh track are good and this time, I dont share the opinion with Enceladus cause I think it fits pretty well in the second drop. Nice dubstyle part in the end. Solid track overall!

@enceladus
like the posters above already mentioned, you gotta work on your kick. It lacks treble frequencies a lot and the mixdown seems really muddy too overall. Especially in the second climax with the vocals on top, seems like the sample has still a lot of bass in it. The idea behind that is great, and although I'm really into raw i kinda dig this one. It has a great atmosphere which you caught nicely in the track. I think the track will be really solid when you fix the things mentioned above.

@Sashone
For me the break is either a bit too long or it needs to have more in it, make more stuff happen you know? The vocals are hardly understandable unfortunately since they have so much reverb on it. The build up towards the climax lacks percussions. Also I would play more with the kick in the buildup since you use it completely unedited. Maybe try only to take a certain frequency span on the kick (filtering) or something. If you keep it like it is, maybe someone who hears it could think that the buiild up already is the drop you know?
I really like the kick though, sounds really full and fat. Don't know about the mixdown cause its only zippyshare, soundclouds a bit better
I'm also not a big fan of the vocals during the climax. I know you did it for the atmosphere but it just doesnt fit really well because they have no rhythm. Also, the last part in the climax has some kick combos in it which might confuse the listener cause they dont really follow a logical order and go, like, really crazy. It all needs to be in place a bit. Hope I could help
