“It all starts in the Synthesizer, with paning, layering. The other way is to add Chorus layer, if you add stereo enhancers they can really destroy the sound.” Get Q&A Hardstyle Elements Euphoria E-BOOK at: https://redpillzaudio.com/?product=qa-hardstyle-elements-euphoria-redpillz-audio-free-e-book

“Use less voices when detuning, try to modulate pitch with LFO Make one layer really tight, and then add more detuned layers with less attack to support it, play chords, in the background. You can also “replace the high end” of your lead with something more tight, like single saw mixed with noise, and make…

“It depends on what you want to achieve, you can put reverb on the Lead bus to affect all layers equally, but sometimes you want more control, so what you can do is to make a separate buses for reverb and delay, and then send the output to your Lead bus, now if you want…

“To add attack to the lead, add envelope to modulate the volume or pitch. Use something as pluck or synth with filter envelope.” Get Q&A Hardstyle Elements Euphoria E-BOOK at: https://redpillzaudio.com/?product=qa-hardstyle-elements-euphoria-redpillz-audio-free-e-book

“Make one layer that’s gonna be your main lead, it should be clean and tight, then think of how you can enhance that lead, fill out the space/gaps making it bigger. That’s just basic, it depends on what you want to achieve, what you can also do is to make each layer play different notes…

“Play around with pre delay and decay setting Use gate plugin on reverb and make ghost track, to trigger gate Use sidechain, and then use the original lead signal to duck the reverb Cut frequencies below around 300hz. Add midside Eq and then make a cut around 500hz in the mid, now we made some…

“The best way is to make two copies of synthesizer, And try to recreate the patch/preset. Know your synthesizer inside out, When you know one synthesizer really well, it’s gonna be easier to learn others. I would highly recommend you to pick two Serum by Xfer and Spire by Reveal Sound, master them both and…

“The easiest way to get better at sound design, is to make few copies of the sound/synth and then play around with the effects/settings and then bounce the sounds to audio, think like you own hardware, bounce things to audio, separate your main projects from experimentation projects. For example create project and name it Leads,…

“Limiters can add some loudness Saturation, distortion can add nice harmonics, but don’t overdo it. Try this, pick any sound, add saturation plugin, set drive to +5dB and output to -5dB, set soft clip on, check the meters, now the signal sounds similar but it’s peaking less, you reduced dynamics. Basically when we use limiters,…

“It might work for percussive music like rock/pop/other edm genres. Having single compressor on master for Hardstyle doesn’t make any sense because we are working with high RMS heavy distorted/ almost no dynamic sounds. All the sounds are mixed around the kick which is basically not dynamic, and looks more like 808/wall of bass. Maybe…
