Hardstyle Beginners Tutorial 101 - How to make Hardstyle

[@sawer]

How did you start making hardstyle?

[@Validodj]

well not because of you

[@sawer]

@@Validodj You do this longer than I

[@BrinkBreaker]

i dont know anymore, i have been shit at it since the start, even 1,5 years in, still cant make kickroll match my lead

[@sawer]

@@BrinkBreaker dont be so hard on yourself! I find blasting it loud and kinda shadowboxing on it works well in finding the right places :)

[@BrinkBreaker]

@@sawer yeah your right but i kinda suck at build ups and kickrolls in general

[@RK9NE]

I'm so glad i found your channel. I've just started learning about 7 days ago now, I have been heavily into it for about 8 hours a night straight after work I'm addicted already! The more I learn, the more excited I get

[@sawer]

Glad to hear! Motivation is everything. Make sure to just keep spending time making stuff. Even if it leads to nothing you'll still learn;) Anything you'd like a video on?

[@RK9NE]

@@sawer Thank you for the reply. I'm still keeping at it, getting better and better everyday! One thing I'm struggling with is making kick rolls, pitching kicks and making the kick rolls sound on key. I can't find any video on making a rawstyle DROP from scratch in-depth

[@sawer]

@@RK9NE rawstyle drop from scratch and in depth would be two different videos. like I can talk about kickrolls alone long enough for a full video. But I wanna do all and I have no reason not to. Stay tuned;)

[@makeeeeeeeee]

I just got fl studio so i can finally start pursuing my dreams (my dreams are fucked). anyways, the timing of this video and channel popping up on my recommended page is simply perfect. Thank you so much for this. Now off to binge watch your channel. (plus points for the minecraft clips)

[@sawer]

Aww glad to hear! If you have questions, lemme know! Happy to make videos about it:)

[@alexioats1]

I love this channel so much. Actually traches you something and not in a dry boring way. Time to binge all the vids

[@sawer]

Appriciate these kind words more than you'd think. Thanks man:)

[@NeonLabsss]

2:39 lol same it's the only one I knew so I started with it and I'm most comfortable with it now

[@mrezu6653]

to better paint the picture I am going to show you more minecraft gameplay :D

[@sawer]

Ngl, i couldnt think of any relevant footage and I needed an excuse to play minecraft xD

[@Jdnfjdksndj]

Now I wanna make an aria math hardstyle remix ​@@sawer

[@lsp_showtek94]

Man's funny!.. I'm hoping to get into making hardstyle - including my own melodies. I'm 30 and been a hardstyle fan for 20 years yes since I was 10 maybe a little younger. I'm unable to work due to health problems, my brother is giving me his gaming PC so decided to learn more about mixing and creating hardstyle.

[@sawer]

Oeh go for it my man! Try out my discord:)

[@lsp_showtek94]

@Sawer for sure buddy. I'm always looking to learn.

[@TheDublistic]

Also please do a deeper dive into the "hardstyle words" section. That was a gold mine

[@sawer]

I have them on mid intro's and buildups! But ill think about one, could be interesting. Thanks for the suggestion❤️

[@ThePantangler]

This is a fantastic video. Tons of great, easy to digest info, all in one place. Funny. Good editing. 10/10, man.

[@sawer]

Damn i really appriciate this man, thanks❤️❤️

[@delzmusic1937]

Awesome tutorial! Finally I can beat minecraft and make hardstyle music

[@sawer]

Hell yeah😂😂

[@DayvidSchricker]

Criminally underrated video. Very well explained.

[@sawer]

Eyy thanks man! Makes my day to hear this!

[@darinlee5088]

I got my first computer its old so thought qhat to do with my spare time well i want to learn a new skill here i am

[@sawer]

Oeh hope you fall in love with it like we did:)

[@Rangedayimhappytao]

the minecraft breakdown was the best thing

[@TheDublistic]

I've been watching ur videos and they have been getting alot better. I would love to watch a vod/multiple part series of your 1on1 coaching for beginners.

[@sawer]

Thanks man! Ive actualy thought about that, but im not sure how to make that practically work. Im preparing a full song series and id love to do more beginner friendly stuff as well, Any topics you struggle with? Happy to make one based on your suggestions :)

[@TheDublistic]

i guess like leading them into a direction when they get stuck to get an inside on thought process in realtime but this would probably work better with someone who wasnt a beginner but like a novice. Looking forward to the full song series 👀

[@sawer]

@@TheDublistic Hmm definitly interesting, ill think about it. Its definitly a worthwhile idea;)

[@RobMoves]

I’m in for a series like this…

[@sawer]

@@RobMoves might need to start on that😂

[@meesmarkelo879]

Hahahah die minecraft vergelijking! love it

[@brandonhussein492]

enjoyed every minute of this vid ty

[@sawer]

Ahaha glad!

[@Yobs2K]

I appreciate the "Lingo" parts, it's very helpful. But I have some questions about it: 1. What's the difference between climax and drop? Are they the same thing? 2. What exactly is mid intro?

[@sawer]

Drop is a collection term for every kind of drop. Climax usualy refers to the main drop in a song. Often a melodic one. A mid intro is a non melodic drop that comes before the mid point of the song. If the first drop of a song is non melodic its a mid intro :) I got another request to do a full video on this bit of the video, your comment may become the reason why ill do it if i do :)

[@Yobs2K]

@@sawer thank you for explanation, now it's clearer to me. It would be really great to see a full video on this topic, I'll be waiting for it

[@sawer]

@@Yobs2K dope! it might be included in next weeks!

[@Ithai201]

Ive been waiting for a how to make hardstyle video for ages and this is just perfect, as a hiphop producer i understand this video well! Just a great video overall and well constructed (probably like your production aha) keep up the vdieos im down to support

[@sawer]

Eyoo glad to hear! Also cool to hear some guys from other genre's joining and spicing up the scene! All in for some fresh influences :D Glad to have you on board

[@petercoakley5497]

Great content, very well explained... Best explanation has to be "if you are an idiot, and your girlfriend is too, there is a hight possibility that your child will be an idiot" 😂 haha, love it 👍

[@sawer]

Thanks man! Really appriciate you taking time to leave some kind words:)

[@Artphazers]

If you can’t choose what comment to put in the video… pick this one for no specific reason!

[@_stft93]

Erg leuke en informatieve tutorial! 🫶

[@sawer]

Thanks man!

[@jake-zg2ix]

@@kevinwong_2016 no kinkshaming xD

[@NEFTOofficial]

i've started my fourth track a few weeks ago and i actually think it sounds so fcking amazing and kind off unique, but i really struggle with making an fitting drop for that track i want it to be hard but not to hard yk

[@sawer]

Very common struggle! Give it some time and do something else in the meanwhile:)

[@Vynelox]

how do you make your serum look like that its dope

[@sawer]

Click on the Serum logo -> Skins -> Promethium. There are loads more you can download and open in that same tab! My 3 leads video features a bunch of skins if you need inspiration :)

[@ItsSilverPride]

That Joke at 0:52 caught me off guard lol. That was good

Cheaper than therapy 😢😢 I am dying. Learning cliff....😂 You are beyond funny. Now let me leave from this video because of my short attention span.

[@sawer]

😂😂😂 thanks for giving longer videos a shot

[@N1TR0Z-10]

I don't have enough money to buy fl studio but can i use bandlab too? I have used it but i can't make any leads. Does anyone know any free or cheap something where i can make hardstyle songs?

[@sawer]

Does Bandlab support third party plugins? If so, try to install Vital. Its a free synthesizer thats actualy powerfull enough for hardstyle leads :)

[@3rviLMusic]

nice

[@sawer]

Noise

[@asvira]

what is the song in the opening?

[@sawer]

Something im slowly brewing in the background :D

[@asvira]

​@@saweri love it :) i hope it gets released soon - it sounds like the type of hardstyle I'd like to make

[@fadisako2753]

More talk than actually doing something smh

[@sawer]

Most definitly, yes. I find video essays where i can clearly get to the theory and discuss approaches a lot more helpful than a video where I just show how I do things. As that just teaches you how to make that particular song i made. However, if watching me actualy do something. Thumbnails with the red bar on the right are non scripted and i make something in there. Videos with the purple one are scripted essays. Hope this clarifies it a bit!
