So Much Potential
Welp, here's what I think. This is a great piece but it's just not long enough, haha, I need more. The kick is great but I think that it could possibly use some more power--whether it's a second, more distorted kick layered with it, or something, I don't know. But, what I did notice is that you don't have a bassline. The lead synth is very generic and I actually like that. I think that it would sound nice if you had a little break between where the kicks come in and where the first time the melody plays, that would sound really nice. It would also add to the tension--because all hardstyle needs to sound epic to be true hardstyle. :P
The piano in the beginning is nice, but I think it could do with some changes. I'm not entirely sure as to what to tell you there, but it could sound a bit more... Refined. I don't know how to put it. But it does work--but since it's in the opening, you want it to sound nice and epic, you know what I mean?
You might want to use some hoovers and some scratches, but that's up to you. Scratches are more important than they used to be. I like the chorus in the background, and that pad is nice too. Really, you need to extend this. You really, really do. I love how much potential this has.
Generally, the great points:
-Nice fade in
-Chorus in the background sounds very fitting
-Kick is great, but I think it could be a bit more powerful. :)
-So much potential
EXTEND THIS >U
IT'S GOT TOO MUCH POTENTIAL.
