These are 3 of my ongoing hardstyle, or at least hardstylish, songs I'm working on.
They don't got the darkest or hardest of sounds to them, and keep in mind that I'm pretty new at producing hardstyle. I don't really know if this should go as Trance, but since there is no Hardstyle genre I'll put them here for now.
For some reason the quality got messed up when I imported the WiPs into fl to make this short demo preview.
I'd really appreciate some feedback, and I will remove this preview when the songs are complete and uploaded.
hope you'll enjoy.
Cheers
cool
I would like to respectfully disagree with kazmo.
Although most hardstylez sound dark, i like the style u have here.
Its happy, and yet the hardstyle element is right there.
Hardstyle doesnt always have to dark, and the preciews sounds like a cross between trance and hardstyle.
i love it, no im addcted to it. Keep it up!

Not bad
Yeh not too bad, first and last were nice, middle was a bit eh...
The kick and bass for the middle one were good tho. Just listen to stuff like...nosiecontrollers, zany, the prophet, d-block and s-te-fan to get a good idea of the sound these other guys are talking about.
keep it up.
thanks :)
Yeah, been listening to them for a year or two, wanted to give hardstyle a bit of my own flavour and not just copying style and sounds from other artists. Anyhow, I don't think I'll produce that much hardstyle anyway :P
Thanks alot for the review, the 7 ^^
Cheers
Hey Krussi!
Long time man.
I didn't know you were moving into hardstyle. I dunno if it's a good move though, and here's why:
-your previews sound too happy, since they use generic chord progressions too often. Hardstyle tends to just stick with one chord, except at the final break. 0:34 was a good example of a good sounding hardstyle idea, since it's quite repetitive (that's good).
-your synths still sounds too trancy/hands-up to be 'hard', I think another reason for this is because you're using a lot of block chords (like your 2nd and 3rd which actually sound wayyy too similar). Try making simple melodies that flow well and that are about 2-8 bars long.
-the overall mix sounds a tad light still, needs to have more power, especially on the low end. The kick and bass is what normally drives the track in hardstyle. The lead usually sits on top or blends into the rest of the track (through side-chaining) depeding on the style.
Nonetheless, I know you're new to this genre (as am I, I don't really make it either lol) but I've heard my fair share of hardstyle since my friend has a shitload of it :3
Keep at it man, I'm sure they'll go somewhere. :]
Yo Kazmo.
Yeah, I know what you mean with the generic chord progression (can't hold my damn fingers away from them >.< ). I'm actually considering either converting the melodies and chords into something dance or trance-ish or just scrap the projects for now since the only "hardstylish" about them are the 1/3 beat.
I'm still strugeling with the mixing since that's one of my major issues with my songs (in my opinion).
Thanks alot for the review man, I appreciate it alot ^^
Cheers man.

Awesome, nice to see some new content! I Like all three, I'm especially digging the second/middle one
Thanks alot man :P Glad you liked them ^^
I also like the middle one the most, so I've actually considered making in into a trance/happy hardcore song instead :P
Anyhow, thanks alot for the review and the 10 :)
Cheers
Please contact me if you would like to use this in a project. We can discuss the details.
