[My Not So Pleasant Reveng]

Hey, great track, ma'am. I was wondering if I could get your blessing at an attempt at giving this track some instruments? If not it is understandable. I just really feel like this deserves a nice instrumental to match your voice.

anjidu responds:

You can if you really want to. Sorry I havent looked at this track in so long. >.<

[Time for Anxiety]

I love this piece haha, it chills me out whilst pumping me up within' the same measures... Awesome work!

[Crux Ultimum]

Sick track haha. And I found the Kick perfectly fitting for this song. Especially that melody, I love it! Hard hitting, and in my face. I wanted to get up and shuffle, mate. If you get the time, maybe check out my hardstyle submissions and tell me what I am doing wrong, because mine never turn out this epic lol!

[World of Explorers]

Sir, I would like to have your permission in creating a hardstyle remix of this song. It is truly awesome.

NobleOneNinja responds:

Whatever you want. Just give me credit for the original song! ;)

[Battle Over CandyMountain]

This is a very sexy track, and I think if you threw in some drums for me, it would make me a very happy camper! With a kick drum to fill in the cutoff's, this would be a mouthwatering piece, mate.

[Random Shit]

I like most of your beats, man. My only issue is the drums: I try to refine my drums in my work, to make them sound more realistic. I know that we're using heavy software, but if you use like FL Studio's Soundgoodizer and Limiter, it can send not only drums into a great sounding position, but you can use it to increase synthesizer value as well. Assuming you are using FL Studio, what plugins do you have at hand?

lantaren responds:

yeah, I know.
I use FL studio 10 Producer Edition.

For one thing (at least if you were referring to the drums only on this track), the quality of the drum samples I'd used on this track weren't the best to start with (I'd thrown the track you see here up in less than 30 minutes). The quality of this track was (purposefully) made shit, and it's the compression that makes this sound so bad. I think I actually did fairly good for mixing it this quickly, honestly. Check the link below to see what it really sounds like (32 bit floating WAV instead of 22.05 KHz MP3 w/ 112 kbps)

And if you're just saying all of my drums in general, I think I do pretty good at them, and I do in fact a lot of the time spend a good 30 mins to an hour working on just EQ'ing the percussion and sounds. Although, maybe that's what you mean.

Also, which tracks does this apply to (or only this one)?

Anyways, thanks for taking the time to review, and... How do you do your kicks in the hardstyle songs? I've always wanted to make a good one, just never could figure it out. If you could just PM me the answers to this then... yeah, do that.

[-house?]

Pretty good sounding. I feel like it leans towards house, and that the main part should be replaced by vocals with the same sound. You could get this into a great song if you took it out of loop and slaped it up into shape a bit. I definitely like this!

[dot dot dot (remix)]

Hot d***, bro, this is an awesome remix! My only thought is that your kick could hit me a little harder, but it made me perk the hell up, especially during that creep in with the synth and his voice speaking. Good job!

synistergate responds:

not even harder? challenge accepted

[For the People!]

I agree that it is repetetive, but the thing is that this is only a melody loop. I'm sure with a final product you'd get it running good. As for kicks, I like what you are using, I just feel like maybe shortening the bass behind the kick would help out, because the sound is good, but the distorted bass makes it a bit over-powered. What exact plug-ins do you use, assuming you use FL Studio as well?

Nexus, Camelphat, Baxxpander and Toxic Biohazard
