Hypernova

Hey guys, I've only been producing for about six weeks and this is my first track. I'd love to know what you guys thought of it. I'm not really sure what I'm doing yet so any technical tips would be awesome. I used FL studio 9 with V station and Nexus 2 as my VST plugins. Vengeance essentials for everything else. The tempo is 170 BPM. The arp/melody is mine.

Some uplifting, and vocal, UK hardcore to warm up those cold dancing shoes for the winter! 1. Outforce feat. Harri Rush - Light Up The Sky 2. Leon Hayward - Love it when you talk - Gisbo Remix 3.

Just played one on my crappy stereo downstairs and it worked fine. Could it be my CD decks? They play higher quality stuff fine though.....

Yeah I know, I'm not actually trying to make them sound better. Its not commercial quality sound but i wouldn't use any of this stuff commercially anyway. Nah, he just gave me the files, I burnt them through windows media player (as .cda's i guess). They sound fine on the PC, and the CD player chugs through my other stuff, both CDR and commercial CD's. I've burned the same tracks on different types of CDR, which didn't work. Some of the tracks (the higher bitrate) improved when i burt them slower, but not enough.

But that's the thing, I'm trying to improve the quality of the track itself, I just want the fucking thing to play in any of my CD decks without skipping. Or am I not going to be able to do that without actually increasing the quality? i.e. not gonna happen? I'll have to look around.

But is it the quality of the tracks that causing them to skip? Or is it the format? I was thinking if i somehow recorded them at a higher bitrate, they'd still sound like shit, but at least they'd play.

I did that unfortunately. I usually don't have more than six or seven tracks per DJ CD. It recognises the tracks, it just skips like hell on the really low bitrate songs, and is inconsistent on the higher bitrate songs.

A mate lent me a hard drive.

What if i converted them to .wav and back again through audition or something? Would take forever though. I wish I could, but its literally about 10 gigs worth of tunes, proper singles, and I don't have the money to buy 1% of that. Its just too good not to try. Heaps of old stuff too, like Happy Hardcore from the 90's. I'm not sure I could even find that stuff digitally.

Hi guys, I'm having a major problem with a bunch of music i just got of a mate. Its a heap of mp3's that i've burned onto CD's which then skip like hell in my CD-DJ's and my S-250's. My other, store bought 320kbps, tracks work just fine. These new mp3's range from 60 to 192kbps, and they are almost all unreliable, even with my burner turned down as low as possible. Do you guys know of any program i could use to convert them to higher bit-rate quickly? (I'm talking 500 tracks here) or should i just dump all the low ones? Thanx

Thanks guys!

Hi all! First time poster, short time user. I'm a Melbourne DJ who's about all things Hard Dance. Been spinning since 2004 and still love it. Dabbled in production but haven't found my feet there yet. I'm mainly into UK stuff though a little continental hard trance or hardstyle doesn't go astray either. I do enjoy my psy and a little bit of techy stuff but to be honest UK hard dance is pretty much where its been for me for a long, long while. Anyways stoked to be able to talk to people who share my passion and know what they're talking about. Look forward to chatting to y'all.

Hi guy's. I guess this is my first post here so first up a big hello to everyone. This is my summer demo, its UK heavy with some hardstyle-ish bits and a fair whack of uplifting hard trance. A fair bit of newish material is in there with some golden oldies as well. I was just wondering what y'all thought of it. What you thought was good and what you thought was bad? Technical issues, trim levels, how clean (or not) you thought the beat-mixing was, tack selection and structure, and generally what you thought of my sound (predictable ect)? Any comments would be much appreciated. Thanks!!! Track list 1. Phil York & Fausto - Dire Straights (Nomad Remix) 2. Alex Kidd & Kidd Kaos - Kiddstock Theme 2008 (Original Mix) 3. Log:One - Celexa 4.
