I wanted to try making a hardstyle kick with only a heisenberg. I decided to make a short track around it as well. Would love honest feedback/criticism from the hardcore techno community. How did I do? What could I have done better? I'm a newbie when it comes to this genre so please give crit. :D

  • if anything this is more of an oldschool hardcore kick rather than hardstyle. Hardsyle kicks are a little hard to get right whether it's reverse bass, euphoric or rawstyle. Also bump that bpm up to 170 and add some more fills and breaks in the kickrolls :) otherwise this is a nice job man

  • this track would sound good if everything were overdriven and there was no 303 all at around the 200bpm mark, it would sound very underground and industrial!

    • Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your feedback. You were right on the money with the bpm. I feel like the 303 hook playing at 155 bpm puts this track into psytrance territory.

      I'll remix this with a higher bpm. My main concern is that by taking out the bpm, the track will sound more empty. What are some cool things I could add to the mix, while still keeping the track sounding industrial?

  • Thanks for the chart. I would really appreciate some honest feedback on how I did.
