2023 I'm still watching this making uk hardcore

[@adamwilliams5372]

Hardcore owes a lot to these 2. Back in the day they absolutely bossed it. Fair play for taking the time to show people this. Oh and this tune SMASHED IT

[@LEEHARDCORETILIDIE]

this kinda explains why tunes sounded lot more raw back in the day which was better in my opinion

[@spivadee8267]

100% agree with you I was fortunate enough to be going raving at the time tunes like this was being made! Mid to late 2000’s was when UK Hardcore was at its best imo. I’m just glad I was in to whilst it was happening.

[@Icewindsound]

Found this video to be quite informative...interesting how they pan 2 of the same kick to the right and left channel, rather than have one kick sit in the center of the stereo field. 2 legends for sure. Much respect!

[@ukreallifeL8]

THE BEST HARDCORE DUO EVER, SMASHING IT BIG DARRN STYLE NOW AROUND THE WORLD.

[@kylem8759]

Why have I never seen this.

[@jamielynch8267]

Breeze let me work in his r cord store when was young essential vinyl! He’s a good ol boy!

[@paulbusby7653]

Good old boys brings back a lot of memories from my rez old days excellent work guys keep it going 👍

[@etobaba]

What a tune man

[@Quant-Beat]

Well, this guy is a Dj since long time ago, decades. 1992 I think, so he knows the art very well. I am curious if the JP-8000/8080 was used in You're My Angel from 2005, which is a masterpiece.

[@iCarroller]

Legends.

[@jimjimjim1]

True legends i remember from Vibealite mid 90's!!

[@MXVDJ]

This takes me backkkkkk!

[@TranceElevation]

Finally someone who knows what he's talking about.

[@Isaac862]

Crazy seeing styles DJ knowledge, he seems to understand DJing better than half the big names out there these days

[@kylemate4287]

That's because the "big name" DJ's mostly produce.

[@Isaac862]

Kyle Mate Good point

[@spivadee8267]

Darren Styles has been in the game for time

[@him9887]

Im a fan of the track but to fair it's not my favourite to mix and it didn't have the DJ in mind that much, miss this old hardcore sound though

[@polymonorecords]

awsome video

[@masterbucks]

Love the idea of chopper on the loop, will try that out. Wicked Vid, I'm sure I watched this back in 08 with the mag but good to get little refresher. CMmag.. MORE HARDCORE PRODUCER VIDS!!! pleeeeeeeeeease :)

[@housr8089]

Remember you playing this at westfest main stage absolutely banging

[@geraldocordovanaupa9721]

Una clase magistral de parte de dos monstruos del Hardcore, muy bueno para aprender más como conseguir mejorar tus producciones 😎🤘

[@urphakeandgey6308]

"And in 15 years time, if we're still doing it, we'll look at it and think these are abysmal!" Well, we're almost there. Wonder what they think now.

[@Lee-ye3ev]

Even now, this song is still class in my opinion. Still sounds fresh

[@Paradroidx]

Nice to see some Trance get some love. Wtg Guy's.

[@newbiadk]

some interesting stuff her on production

[@TheWaynelds]

Is layering kicks ok to do? (As long as you’re able to use phase inversion on one of them). Speaking of which, I’ve gotten into the habit of going down the track list and switch the phase inversion on to see if it helps that track sound/stand out better.

[@polaritymakina8440]

Crazy how they talk about not using side chain or much reverb on leads, fast forward to 2022 and side chained leads with bags of reverb is the norm 😅

[@GregCarlyle]

Please get Tessela to do a production masterclass!

[@ryanmoore7453]

Great Video Guys!, Nice Tune. love part at 24:54 haha Brilliant :)

[@kevindennehy2938]

Why ? there's Google translate you know.

[@Selous_Scout]

ill probably get slaged but the thing is what have you learnt

[@yourusernameeludesme8609]

What’s the mastering tool they are using - anybody know ?

[@farcry79]

It's the old T-Racks

[@Albana132]

what is that mastering plugin they used at the end??? i need that!!! :O

[@lelumous]

I need to know as well!

[@OneLoveRecordings]

T racks

[@Albana132]

thank youuu! but which one because there are loads? aha

[@OneLoveRecordings]

Thats version 3 I think. It's a collection of plugins all in one, Version 5 now.

[@AedenHivanova]

Ho my an1x!

[@Myrmidon1983]

Not an AN1X.

[@CouncilEstatePopMusic]

Myrmidon1983 I was thinking a CS1X There's two rotary knobs missing from the left if it is an AN1X ???

[@kobuna7577]

What DAW is this? I would love to know, I wanna get into producing Happy / UK Hardcore the way how it was produced back in these days

[@smthofficial6396]

cubase i think

[@kobuna7577]

@@rudy2155 Thanks for letting me know ^_^ and yeah theres still tips I need is there anything I could message you on?

[@FutureIsOffline]

@@kobuna7577 just use nexus, z3ta and sylenth to get dat taste :)

[@TiagoMilanov]

10 months later did u do it?

[@de-b1221]

The version they're using in the video is Cubase 4 Essential. It's an outdated DAW which you can't get anymore. If you want to produce Hardcore in the same way, you'll need to get the same Synths. I use the Sylenth1. I've got a couple of MIDI tracks on my channel showing the main riffs and using the same sounds that they used back then.

[@outsidemayor2098]

What do you mean when you added “ a chopper “ to that percussion loop ? do you mean like a positioned gate ?

[@tombrand5809]

it's a cubase plugin, like an lfo tool

[@outsidemayor2098]

Tom Brand ah right right, thanks bud 🤛

[@BSEmadcow]

Nice break down, not too keen on the hardcore elements tho.
