inspiration from F777, xtrullor, BeauXuan, theFatRat, dj nate,
well hell there's a lot more but those guys gave me the biggest amount of inspiration!


i remember when newgrounds had a ''create something using inspiration from newgrounds'' thing going on and back then i wasn't as good with sound so i didn't make anything but after recently coming back and having lots of inspiration from lots of users here on NG, this was born!


i felt making some sort of hard electro was goodnuff
i also attempted to add more sounds to the song because that seems to be one of my issues, lack of interesting sounds,
i hope this was a good change of pace/


actual song made with FL studio 12.4.2
Ableton live 9 for a few filters on the basses
and everything (drums excluded) was made with Sytrus
also a screenshot of the completed project

Intro sounds like a videogame, so when the kicks came in I was confused for a second.

For some reason, this kinda sounds a little aimless to me with the formant octave bass. Then again I just don't like this trend of the-lead-and-the-bass-are-the-same-note choruses that bled from big room house to other genres of EDM.

That kick is a bit too loud and subby. Sounds boxy on the rest of the beat. Recommend hi-passing out some of the 20-50 hz or using a multiband compressor on it to get a fuller sound. It's lacking any hi mid punch to it, so it kinda feels like headbutting something unintentionally.

Also, your cymbal samples are... really flat and gross sounding, no offense. They sound like stock mixcraft cymbals. I know you used FL and Ableton, ofc.

Imo, hats could use some panning and variation. Snare is laying flat in the mix with too much low end on it, and your fills need panning to stick out.

Cymbals need to come way up in the beginning.

Overall none of your synths sound ugly, but those harmonies need to come up in the mix. Actually, the bass/lead could probably do with coming down a db or two.

It sounds like most of this mix's punch came out of the master channel with hard compression and sausage fattening, just judging by how the kick loses presence later in the track. If you want to compress hard and keep the kick all-in, side-chain a little harder.

I also was disturbed by the abrupt outro and overall felt the track was pretty dry, just sitting right there, flat. Part of that is listening on ATH m40x's, which are flat studio monitors. You might want to invest in a pair. They don't make everything sound hideous, but they reveal a lot of things your average sound system or pair of casual listening headphones plaster bandaids over.

Overall, good work, and a nice creative endeavor. :)
