very catchy, I cannot stand the matrix in reason, try out the thor and Arpeggiator, you cannot go wrong! Try putting scream on it and cranking the rez for a boss effect

Protools is awesome man, looks like you got to grips pretty well with xpand and so on, you should get ozone 4, it fattens up the mix so much, it will blow your brains out your ass!

Play 2 now...
Okies, the part starting @ around 0:57 and lasting to 1:16 (give or take) was the only part of the song that I didn't much care for. I dig the concept, but am thinkin that ya might wanna throw on some effects to that part. Something to give it an extra sense of dimension, because at the mo' it kinda reminds me of a skipping record.
That said, I really loved what ya did to her vox too and for some odd reason it reminded me a little bit of Britney Spears (the way she sounds on her perfume commercials). And the groove of this is def funky fresh. The stuff ya used with the bass was boss. Though given it's length is it safe to assume that it isn't finisheed yet? Keep bangin it out mate. Later on!

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.

I'm loving that bass, I don't like to use matrix in Reason though, unless I am Amp Gating a sound rhythmically. The clap could be a little louder too. Around 1:20 or so those pads that come in are a bit louder than everything else, drowning them out a bit in my opinion.

Great track!

ahh ok, i quite like matrix, but i mean thats the only sequencer i have seeing as i only have a small adapted version of reason.I would like another more advanced one that would be good.
And yes, the pads are a little loud, but i guess they still sound ok though, it seemed like everyone else liked it i think.
And ill make the clap louder yeah :)
thanks for ur comments!

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.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3pWYolGeTY&feature=channel

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!
