Thread: Hardcore Breaks?

Had a quick skip through just now - some nice sounds going on later on in the tune & I also like that drumloop sound as well

I think there's something slightly off on the timing of the loops at the start though - the forward loop sounds like it's coming in just a touch too soon (maybe part of it is missing at the end of the original sample??).

As for Hardcore Breaks - just a name used for modern old skool really (although over the now 10+ years it's been out, a lot of the newer stuff doesn't really sound old skool anymore which is a shame).

Few terms for you and what they basically mean :

Mixdown - This is the final wave file of all your parts (beats / loops / synths / vocals etc) - so if someone says you need to sort the mixdown out, it means sorting out each parts volume against each other so they sit nicely together & sound good.

Fx / Effects - echos / reverbs / filters etc - used sparingly can make certain sounds really come alive - bit of reverb on vocals so they don't stop dead, delays on synths so they echo, and filtering really low end off sounds that don't need it which will help make a better quality mixdown.

Eq - used to change the sound of your track parts to either bring out some top end, mid or low end, or just to 'tame' any bits that are a bit harsh.

Mastering / Beefing (as I like to call it) - this is the final stage needing specialist software / hardware to take a good mixdown and beef it up to bring the best out in the sound of it - to be done properly you really need top quality speakers in a specialised room built for it, so it's usually a job for someone else (if you want it done properly).

what a pile of crap

Nice one, cheers RG

I'll stick it through my amp from the laptop & go over it properly, laptop speakers don't really cut it

I halved & reversed the first drumloop, it started with the beat then the reverse... I just flipped it round so that could be the problem

That only happens in films geeza

I probably won't make another one for a few weeks... Might make one tomorrow, who knows... But for now i'm going to stand over a mirror & investigate this spot on my corn hole

good tune, very enjoyable,
well, if you allow me to give you some criticism, I would have loved to hear more variations on the drums, sounded to me like a bit repetitive, quite as a spiral, and imo would have been good to hear a snare or bassdrum in a different place sometimes and so... slice the loop and play with that if you like the idea!

not bad mate for you first atempt
id say it's more J-Tek then hardcore Breaks though
as it has that ruff jungle tekno sound to it.
