Not bad at all for a first track, but it sounds really messy overall. Might wanna try and see what combination of sounds/loops do and do not work well together.

@Kodex:
Nice work!
Overall the tracks could still use a little more dirt, especially the leads.
Plus, i think the punch of the kickdrum should be much louder, sounds like holding back atm.
@Brooxe:
The main breakdown is quite good.
I agree to Imil though, buildup sounds chaotic at places. Especially the melody in the intro part sounds a bit uninspired and confusing, try to straighten that out.
The kick misses punch, a lot actually, i'd say this is quite essential for nowadays' mainstream hardcore (which i guess you are going for
).
From a mixdown/mastering perspective, it's all too clear and polished, too much reverb and stuff. I'd reduce that a lot and make the sounds dirtier instead.
The leads sound very good though, lots of detuning, nice!
EDIT2:
Oh, sorry Imil, just realized the SC link was NOT in your sig.
I agree to SCH, it sounds very muddy. Especially the kick is very narrowbanded. And in general the sounds don't seem to blend together well currently, so i'd work on the mixdown a bit. (Have i heard stereo separation on the kick?)
But i like the trancey attitude, curious for more!
EDIT:
Oh and btw, been having fun with kicks lately, would love to know what you guys think about them, resp. what you think is missing.

@ SCH/jEB; yeah, I get that muddy sound sometimes lol. I suck at mixdown and I never really work with proper audio-output so yeah.
Also, jEB, I like the snippet you posted, but it gets a bit monotone after a while. The kicks themselves are nice.
@ nolimits59; I guess zippy lowers the audio quality quite drastically, other than that the kick/synth seem to be pretty good. But the song as a whole strikes me as rather simplistic and not so much pro. You could try some alternative sounds, percussion, vocals etc.

it's just a very quick demo of the track, made in 2-3 hours,( rework the sampled sound of the original take me a lot of time to apear good, and at this time, it not yet fit to the sound i whant, while i've a lot worked and upgrade the soundImil wrote:

but of course i'm gonna keep a little the " simple " ambiance of the early track, so i dont whant to put a lot of things in it,
my main style is hardstyle, and Fusion records is my starts in the hardstyle( it's my second hardcore track )


thanks for the advices man !
