Dreamcast | Happy Hardcore WIP Thing
« on: January 06, 2016, 05:05:02 pm »
Hey, I've been working on this 170bpm thing for a while now and finally became somewhat satisfied with how it sounds.
Please let me know what you guys think and if there's anything I can improve!

Thanks!

Sounds pretty great although a bit repetitive I think. I'd try to use punchier drums, the snare sorta sounds as if it was just a transient and I can barely hear the kick.

This sounds cool. The main lead is a bit too loud (in my opinion). Maybe you could add some variation to the melody too because it sounds a bit repetitive. And i think a clap would sound better than a snare there. Anyways this is nice

First off, I'm biased, I love your music as always man!

I think you should extend the arp pattern to 3 more bars and change the notation a bit, that will definitely give it more variation. otherwise I think the sidechain needs balancing as there is a bit of pumping going on, besides that I think you're solid to keep going and make it boss.

Heya,

So, most people have pointed out already, but the drums could use some compression. Punchier kick and a clap instead of a snare could be a bit better. Arp is cool. Keep this up !

I've listen to your stuff and as LT said, you'll probably make it good :D

thank you all for the advice!  :)
