So immediate thoughts are that I really like the breakbeat segments and trap segments are really good, but most of the hardstyle really comes across as overcompressed to the point of the audio sounding really bad. Really the main segment where the hardstyle didn't sound as overcompressed was 1:18.

The other thing I will say as something that maybe might be worth looking into is adding some syncopation to the hardstyle. I know that typically hardstyle is a pretty strict four-on-the-floor percussive style, but that's exactly what makes me find the genre sound fairly bland from a conceptual standpoint.

In short, biggest takeaway I'd have for you is that you really need to cut down on the compression on the kicks, or at the very least make them more refined so that it doesn't sound as harsh. Even if thats just some EQing to cut the highs back a little bit, it's just really overwhelming as a base sound.

[candid heath]

Thanks for the well-thought-out feedback. We'll work on the kick in the hardstyle bits. Maybe we'll give the jersey part at 1:18 a bit more syncopation. The third drop is more hardpsy iirc, but again we'll see what we can do.

Thanks again. Really.

[glossy ermine]

I get you and for me when i listen to it it was indeed kinda harsh

[summer tangle]

Following Woods' suggestions, Instead of changing the kick and diverging from the hardstyle structure, try spicing things up with the other instruments and chops instead. You'll still have the hardstyle feel but be able to keep it interesting

[candid heath]

That'll work.

i loove this song, the 0:39 part of the buildup is a little too loud, and the "oh shit" sample is a little off-beat

slice the "oh" and "shit" and make them fit the tempo

and then echo the "shit" part like 3 times

or u could cut the "it" from shit and echo that

[urban marten]

whats the instrument at the beginning?

[terse magnet]

i think its a pad

[main orbit]

Yo can I share a remix of a song I made from a game here?

[terse magnet]

u make a new post

[main orbit]

Can I post a YouTube link or a .mp3?

[terse magnet]

yeah

in a new post though, here

[main orbit]

Thanks

[glossy ermine]

i shall say a rave stab

[candid heath]

Probably the last WIP version (or maybe not, depending on feedback). Shouts to @terse magnet & @summer tangle.

[terse magnet]

fire bro

i think u should make the amen break pan left to right slowly

[candid heath]

ngl...we could do that just by pressing the "fade stereo" button.

[terse magnet]

fade stereo?

[candid heath]

It's a built-in effect on FL's default sampler.

[terse magnet]

oh fl

[candid heath]

Yeah, we've been using FL Studio the whole time. lmao

Well...Acid AJ uses a later version while I merely use FL 20.6 due to my use of a Linux distro and stuff.

However, we try our best to work together.

[glossy ermine]

i could do that but i never tried that

[terse magnet]

try it
