Reviews for "Hardstyle Rising"
good good
its pretty good, i gotta run right now so i cant review everything, but i can say that when the bassline kick comes in, it cuts out alot of the other volumes, which i know is a hard thing to fix with this kind of music, mabye ask in the AF how to fix it?
i gotta run, peace out

This track was made a long time ago. But I agree. The issue comes from the master channel having a compressor on it to fix excessive over clipping. I THOUGHT it was a good method at the time but it's a habit I grew out of.

Well as we all know the mix is different with every genre. With hardstyle I feel like the mix should be semi centered around the quarter notes to help put emphasis on it. For any type of jumpstyle or shuffle dancing everything is centered around that. Because of this I think your ripping intro lead is a bit too loud in the mix. Also there's some real muddiness with the second part due to the kick which SessileNomad already noted. You like your songs to be loopable huh? Also you might consider adding a light intro section to accentuate the intensity of that first part...because it is totally awesome, but it has no contrasting lightness first. Notice when it drops back in at 3:42 it sounds much more epic. Your kick shouldnt have any clipping in the first place though. some EQing and counter EQing should set you up nicely. Compressors ARE addictive though. For a while I was using compressors on EVERY instrument in addition to the master mix. Anyways good luck and as always,
Cheers!
