Give this a listen. (electronic, trance, hardstyle)

To be honest I'm not sure which exact genre these tracks would particularly fall under. I like taking loops and/or samples (mostly from freesound) and mixing them. I guess you can say I DJ. I'm not sure, I enjoy doing it and haven't gotten negative feedback from people I know. That's the thing, that's only from people I know, I want to see what kind of opinions the outside world can provide me with. I go under the name of "R3K4CE". Feedback should range from the music itself to the mixing and mastering which I somehow managed to do myself. Thanks in advance. Just copy and paste the link.

Please make it as easy as possible for people to listen to your stuff. Create the link yourself so we can just click. I listened to Trance Jockey, and honestly, the music itself wasn't too interesting. The mix lacked the huge amounts of bass this genre usually has. Bass freqs were almost non-existent, to be honest.

As far as mastering goes, the levels were pretty low, too. Nothing too terribly impressive, but we've all gotta start somewhere! I'd start working on the bass levels.

I think you are getting the building blocks right but there is a lack of low end for me in the first one Explicit colour sounds a bit better...the levels apart from that seem pretty good. Its very much a euro hardcore sound with influences of dubstep and it doesnt sound far off.

Are you using sample packs/construction kits? The problem with that is the start stop nature of loops, some parts just sound like you are dropping one part in and taking another out...theres still some skill involved but you will bore of it once the sample packs dry up and it'll always sound like that, loops..

Im not sure what DAW you are using but look into more sound manipulation...use the loops as starting points to get more creative, try to make your own samples..use delays, automated pitch, and mutes to introduce new parts and blend the sounds..I make drum and bass loops when Im traveling to use in later projects...it'll give you a more flexible sound and stop you eventually becoming bored of it


these are a couple of great videos showing what can be done creatively with samples...welcome to the site
