Hardstyle Essentials In Writing How To Be A

I record piano and upload to youtube which was originally my only plans.

I recently bought native instruments komplete and have decided to try again at hardstyle which is the only electronic music i like.

I tried writing hardstyle for a few years in my early 20s but gave up because it was to hard ( as in i wasnt very good at it) but have decided that just like learning the piano it takes years to master making your own sounds kicks etc.

So looking at lots of tutorials and going through the manuals for the synths i have purchased.

Make the melody go like Dam DaDaDam Dam Daaaam, throughout the entire 32 beats long intro and youre done.

Crying girls in the front row, Hey Hos during your track and emotional moments, where 20.000 people lift up their phone and light up the festival ground, this is what euphoric hardstyle is all about and what you can achieve.

Hardstyle Essentials In Writing How To Be A

After the great success of our first article How To Be A Raw Hardstyle Producer Dj In 5 Easy Steps it is time to catch up with our insider once again.

If you thought playing at Mysteryland, Decibel main stage or Defqon.1 main stage needs years of hard work, you were wrong.

All it takes is some sense for emotions, fitting vocals, other DJs who drop your track and consider it as real hardstyle or in exceptions just boobs and a ghostproducer.

And yes, thats true, but we want to ask you do you really want to get stuck at the Blue hardstyle area at Defqon.1 Qapital main stage The Decibel Loudness area over decades as your highest goal you can achieve Euphoric hardstyle takes as less effort as raw hardstyle, but the result will boost you into different dimensions, playing across the world, third world countries and in front of the most insane-hardstyle-loving-best-crowd-ever hardstyle-szene in Chile.

It is within the rawstyle szene, but with euphoric you have a different aim.

Zero effort If you combine it with a simple big room-tomorrowland-Dj Mag Top 100-producers generic sounding lead, youre the hero of the szene.

Youll be declared as out of the box, because you mix up styles.

With this, it is almost guaranteed to play next to Martin Garrix, Steve Aoki, or these Dimitri guys at Tomorrowland, or at least as the opener at the Q-Dance stage.

What you do with the kick is simple soften it as much as you can.

Your kick should not distract from your great melody or the feeling you deliver through your track.

Make it sound like a flat something, not even hearable in your music.

On the other side, you can also go for a sustained and loud tail.

One word should describe your musical vision, when producing euphoric hardstyle: accessibility.

Times are great, hardstyle is expanding, its your time to shine and make everyone happy.

So, it is kinda like a conserve it tastes like something, but without a specific taste, just to make sure everyone likes it.

If all fails, rip the kick from Zatox, works like charm Bum Bada Bing, you know.

You need some additional sounds to fill gaps, hide your ripped kick and to make your track sound filled.

But, just like with rawstyle, keep it simple and definitely do not spend too much time on this.

Maybe you can find some great examples in a Tomorrowland mainstage set, copy and paste the melody, make a similar lead and speed it up to 150 BPM.

The great thing: just play it two chords higher for your climax part and you saved time on another lead for your main melody.

To make it sound like hard drop, create a slightly harder punch, a very short tail and a lead sound youll find in every good sample pack.
