So last night I was experimenting with Hardstyle type Kicks for the first time, after watching a bunch of masterclasses that Snow linked in the "Masterclass/ Course thread" http://theproducersforum.com/index.php?topic=230.msg2896#msg2896 (Give Snow some honors will ya?)

So here's what I got:


It's a layer of two sounds, an oscillator with a sawtooth and a dry kick

One is a sawtooth, I added high cut in the channel settings to Decay quickly.
with multiband distortion (FabFilter Saturn),
An EQ with tons of dips to erase fundamental tones and shaping the distortion (Fruity Parametric EQ 2),
Tube amp (Camel Crusher),
Some Reverb for widening (ValhallaPlate),
And a quick sidechain to a dry kick (Fruity Limiter)

I had so much fun creating this sound from scratch, let me know how to improve and if there's any tips and tricks to learn about creating it!

And uhhh, Hardstyle Kick Thread, let's do it!
