Even the general public will hear and feel when something is wrong. They may not know what it is, or why; and certainly not explain it; but as a producer you should know what is happening in your track. Listen to something with no saturation, or how about a track with strange compression that makes someone feel seasick? There aren't many ways to learn that stuff without screwing it up, and letting someone else listen. If I could get the above kind of assistance without any attitude about stuff, I would be more than happy to take it. it also shows we listened.

 

In the rest of the world when they say uplifting they mean more or less what the OP posted. Euro , old-school prog"ish"
trance with arps and positive - uplifting spirit.
This abomination of tsiftetelo-panygyrtzidiko trance style like the video, gladly, didn't make it further than Athens actually.
Hitech is far from it, first and foremost speed wise. It lies around from 170 to even up to 200 BPM nowdays.

Nice one OP. i liked it.

 

Hey thanks so much! means alot haha always good to hear positive things!

 

Im just happy and glad with all the feed back and with any feedback at all haha it means alot that someone just listened and can say something about it and how im progressing as a producer just in general.

 

GEEZ wtf 200 bpm thats pretty gnarly but I feel like D&B could get to be around that if people really pushed it haha

 

Two tracks could be 200bpms and you may perceive them totally different. That's because of rhythm.
Hitech has a /16th note kick and three 16ths as bassline, sometimes even 4.
That's a full range bassline from 40-18k
Its basically listening to glitchy, modulated, twisted machine gun if your ear is not trained to this sound.

On the other hand DnB could include riffs at half of the speed. Breaks really make it seem slower than it is comparing it with hitech

 

our computers speed and daw functionality make "bpm" immaterial, but only until you put a 4/4 kick or a 1/2 kick snare beat into the track. Most listeners are going to listen to the track with that as their tempo frame of reference. Especially because it's usually the anchor of your mix, too. It's fun stuff to screw around with, but especially with Midi files.

 

IV heard of this one genre that has like a crazy bpm I forget what it was but it was upwards of like 250 something absurd that you probably shouldnt listen to live haha

 

Ya know to this day I still have not used midi files in any of my tracks. Now audio files yes but nothing midi I guess its personal preference.

 

well yes. if by personal preference you mean one being very easy and infinitely flexible and the other being locked in to something someone made and how some plugins can change it into something else. Then yep. personal preference

With 4/4 edm, why wouldn't you use a midi kick? Even if you mute it later, you have something on a clock with no drift; and you can sidechain your compressor to it....

Haha I only use midi for instance if i want to use the VST kick 2 then I could just do it that way and get the proper low end like perfectly. I just prefer to use audio and throw the sample in that way idk why Iv been doing that for years. Also with side chaining I do add the compressor but thats for like piano to vocal or something like that also with the vst I use Kickstart or LFO Tool so i dont really need a kick exactly to be midi to do the side chaining.

 

and yes you are right its not hitech....
