Description : CRAZY HARDCORE BEAUTY!! An awesome track I slammed together in protools, recorded everything myself! Created my own beat, and found a melody that went along nicely. Then I added in the synths and the other magic ingredients! All this could do with now would be vocals, i'm sure ill think of something!
PLEASE REVIEW AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!!

Used a looperman sound effect ("Hands in the air!"), thanks!

Hello
Well im not a hardcore fan not these days anyway, but this is not too hard a track and I enjoyed it especially since you created eveything your self. i did think a bit quiet on the bass as well. But you certainly have talent - well done mate.

Bass is a little quiet in the mix, just trying to help here, I have helped Paul plenty too. Your synth is a little thin, my first released uses 7 synths all layered to get a phat lead. 6 of those are samples put in a sampler from something like Vengeance. When you come into the first chorus there is no melody before the chorus, you should have it there in some way before you drop everything in, otherwise it's kind of awkward.

Great track!

-DaMann

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

EDIT:

Ok well for the leads, I have Darren Styles - Come Running on vinyl, one of the few Styles tunes I like. If you listen it has a biting high, it's a killer lead, but it's got mids, something your lead lacks. When I make my leads I will have a synth one octave, then one an octave higher, then another lower than the first. Making leads can be tough. Come running is no thin lead though, it is a bit thinner than most, but instead of having the usual bass it layers a similar synth an octave lower, to fill those frequencies, other tracks that use that are Lumin8 - Rivers Flow In You and .... ohh what's it called, it might be a remix of Watergate - Heart of Asia, I'll find it!

While I am searching here is another comment. I hope you listen to more than the Clubland X-Treme Hardcore. I can't stand them, it's all the same to me, you should listen to Bonkers 17 Mix 2 (Kevin Energy and Sharkey Mix) to hear some real creativity, it's amazing.

Ahhh... I found the song but not the title in a mix.

Listen to around 4:20, that's when the song starts, then listen to the melody, it's not constantly playing, but it's got a hard higher synth on the mid frequencies filling the gap.

Hope I'm helping

Thanks for your opinion mate, its much appreicated :)

I can see what you mean about the bass being a little quiet so i can boost that up whenever.

As far as the synths go, i find that layering many synths can create a muffled lead with less edge and bite, even though it does have a wider and more complete tone, but is personally what i prefer. This minimal stacking of synths is quite popular in a lot of UK hardcore recently in order to provide a 'harder' and more prominent melody. An example off the top of my head would be 'Come Running' by Darren Styles, if you listen the synth lead in the chorus of that track is very similar, in the fasion of not being overly-reinforced, with only two or three synths stacked.

Adressing the structure is an aspect that i have seen needs some improvement, as this is of course only my fourth attempt at a hardcore track! However, the way in which i have not built up the main melody before the chorus is not entirley unconventional, and im sure as many people would confirm, not completly disagreeable or 'awkward'. There are of course tracks which conform to this as well, perhaps 'Rise Again' can be considered one as well.
You have provided some usefull and insightfull critisism, which im happy to consider in furthering my experience in this new process and im happy to take some tips onboard, especially from someone who has produced so many tracks, and has great equipment and has had so much experience!
Also, good luck with your release hope all goes well!

I'm a big fan of hardstyle/harcore..

and this song ain't hardcore.. nor it is hardstyle :)

anywayz, this is a good track, you have made a great melody in this song ...

Keep up the good work ;)

DjSomnium replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Glad you like it man, i know what you mean though, by hardstyle you mean showtek, blutonium boy etc, and by hardcore you are thinking angerfist/neophyte right? lol its not hardstyle, or what some people would call 'hardcore', for want of a better word, its 'UK hardcore'. people just get confused over the terms of 'hardcore'. its most like happy hardcore or uk hardcore i guess.

I don't know what was going on yesterday with the site, but I had several comments disappear on me. I DID comment on this. I believe I even said hardcore is usually not my thing, but that with tracks like this I could be converted. I admit when it comes to electronica I am drawn toward the darker side usually, but this has a darker tone than the happy hardcore my old roomie used to listen to. I really like this a lot, including that little stutter you've tossed into the beat. That was why I faved it ;) Now let's hope this comment sticks!

Description : Deep beneath this house stand forges no hand has lit in decades, their iron cold, their bellows collapsed to dust. Yet I return to them still, tracing my fingers along soot that remembers heat long after the fire forgot how to burn.

Every wound I ever shaped, every choice hammered white-hot in some forgotten year, still holds its form within me, cold now, but never truly extinguished. Strike the right anvil, and even ash remembers how to spark.
