[@DaniHardbass]

for me too! wtf what a nice video!

[@mr.santiago2191]

No, this is so much better!! 😮

[@Fascry_]

This will probably be a reference for beginners for many years, great job!

[@VicUPx]

i gotta say that this tutorial is absolutely amazing - and not only for those interested in producing hardstyle. this guide can be used by almost any harder EDM genre. I've been really lacking motivation when it comes to producing music eventhough i used to do nothing else between 2019 and 2021. I always felt like i keep falling behind new trends, techniques and plugins. One day i just completely lost all will to make music. But this video, dare i say, has kind of reignited the spark for my motivation again. The way you show and explain all the modern ways to layer leads, refine kicks and things i've always wondered how to do is super helpful - and all that without any annoying pauses or stuttering - just straight to the point. I can't believe i've just watched this for free. It feels like i pirated this video. Thank you!

[@OnPointSamples]

Really appreciate that!

[@edvinas5134]

This is the best harder styles documentary u could find exactly. I realy appreciate the oldschool stuff from 2000 to almost 2008 and raw nowadays. Thanks OPS for it

[@foxploxfox]

Two words: quality content.

[@FrawDJ]

I like that you put GEARBOX as an own genre 🎉😁

[@Thunder.Legacy]

Bro what you mean the melody is not insane ?😭 the MELODY IS INSANEEEEEE

[@edvinas5134]

Yea this melody is insane... Jim could also release his hardstyle tracks

[@DutchDetailer]

I bought the All Acces Bundle with kicks etc. But how do I seperate the punch and crunch so I can pitch the crunch in my melody

[@awordmusictubes]

song playing from 1:40 is: Not E-Nuff (Rough Mix) - DJ Duro, The Prophet

[@SURG3OFFICIAL]

Always going above and beyond with these videos and packs man! 👏Now its time to produce a ''song from scrath'' 😉🤣

[@D-Ferentdj]

small note. a video would be even better. if after the “Song from scratch” section there would be a separate “finished result” section. that would be convenient. thanks for your efforts!

[@sammpaul]

Yeah agree

[@sawer]

Damn this is quite the video! Wish this stuff was out there when I started❤

[@OnPointSamples]

@@sawer Appreciate that brother 💪

[@Resonaze]

Love these detailed Videos - pls dont stop doing this, I always find some small thinks you might not even notice explaining because its obvious for you :) - KEEP IT UP

[@Keppy1988]

Thank you so so much, im from Germany an just started getting my hands on producing, so ur Tutorials are crazy in depth and the best part is that you give us the chance to create our own crazy stuff. Thank you so so much!!! Keep Raving!! GrezZ

[@OnPointSamples]

Really appreciate that! Best of luck with your production journey

[@TheSiepp]

One minute in, but I can already tell this is going to be sick. Love the editing!

[@matventures01]

Wow love this video! Tbh I was struggling to find somewhere such an overall tutorial on hardstyle song structure together with explanation of the vsts and the methods of how they are used. Big up to you and looking forward to more videos. Also all your sample packs are bangers!

[@TATHEM6]

Normally I pass by these sample pack heavy tutorial type videos, but this one is really great. Appreciate the effort put into this and sharing the knowledge.

[@sammpaul]

Finally the beginners tutorial are here. Thank you for doing this, OPS!

[@madnetik7427]

Very very good tutorial that is the way how to process those 3rd party plug-ins and overlay your synth very popcorny thank you this is very professionally made!! Brilliant

[@davel046]

this is insanely well put together wow👏

[@asidemusics]

This is just the absolute best! Thank you so much!🧡

[@RoppongiTV]

My god I’ve been searching years for a video like this, THANK YOU!!!

[@gandalfdergraue8444]

5:54 Yeah man, that's the kick, i fell in love with hardstyle..

[@SuperMllk]

Installed FLStudio and ready to make some bangers (maybe.) Would love a tutorial on how to make PVC kicks, they sound fun asf !

[@ralpfe3]

Great work guys, presentation is ‘on point’ i know this process well but its so easy to get stuck in it, endlessly tweaking sound losing sight of the red line. This is such a great video to inspire to stay on course of with progress by your identified milestones. Excellent job!🎉

[@amadevu.official]

34:40 WORDS OF THE CENTURY !! thank you jim!

[@adentravis]

Great video

[@CoWL-Music]

Anazing production value and film making! This couldn’t have been easy and I just want to acknowledge that and say thanks 😊

[@laxdermax]

Fragments of this video should be on tiktok so that all the technotokers stop calling hardstyle and its derivatives techno

[@LighterGreenGaming]

Bruh that's what my dad calls it

[@Aftergenerationdj]

LAYER GO WAAAAAAAA

[@TeRRorTonaX]

This is a really good tutorial !!!And by the way, I think the melody is very nice!

[@DarkDawn98]

I mean, the value that this channel offers to the hardstyle scene... unbelievable man. Awesome job Jim & company 🤌

[@morn14150]

damn bro this is super helpful for my production, thank you so much :DDD

[@LighterGreenGaming]

I'm suprised you didn't mention Tevvez or the affect Zyzz had on hardstyle.

[@benedictstock6539]

Extremely well done👏🏻

[@DJSharky]

This is amazing! Thank you so much for the "from scratch" breakdown! Looking forward to more content like this! ❤

[@hundun5604]

28:35 "Let The Bass Kick" 🙂 Now I finally know where that track title is coming from.

[@AlexanderMerlin]

So, I've been using OPS for a couple on the side Hardstyle tracks. I absolutely love the kick packs, my question is: could you do a video showing how to use the samples to the fullest potential. I've noticed some of the samples in the pack don't ALL have a full Key scale spectrum so I would love to know hat the best way is to play around with the pitch or notes with the kicks to make sure they are all in key with my bassline.

[@StefJansens]

Damn, I appreciate the effort put in this video. The editting must have taken like a week or so? I love it!

[@plauzmusic]

Excellent work ! Love the historic view in this tutorial 🙌🏼

[@rvrity950]

Common OPS W 🙌

[@melo5617]

Another great video 🔥

[@SIGMA_OFFICIAL1996]

You keep banging bro grtz from belgium

[@HowslyOfficial]

I bet this genre would still be alive today if producers didn't gatekeep so hard during it's peak. Anyway good video. It seems very well put together so far.

[@dalek_dj]

This tutorial accidentally taught me to write an EBM bassline 😆 (no, not EDM). In any case, an excellent video from start to finish.

[@DamianBruce07]

bro now this is proper content thanks for the hard work u put in this video

[@dzkazoe5943]

thanks for all your contents, that's so helpfull

[@Max.ToneOfficial]

Wow! That quality! 🙏

[@farbik]

thats the best tutorial for HS all time..

[@MinchanLyoko]

Wow a documentary ! Thanks for your work ! 🔥🔥

[@fortpig9897]

Can you make video about making Xtra-Raw like Gearbox??

[@akannsson9524]

I don't even make Hardstyle but this is crazy good work, good job man! Makes me wanna make some :O

[@doxy3804]

Will love to see a tutorial in Ableton about leads, kicks and things like that :)

[@vanyahozeyev]

Thank you so much for this!

[@tegarbagasdhonesya6588]

THANKS MAN ❤

[@AnotherSwissYoutubeUser]

Crazy good video, I liked it a lot.

[@LeTo-music]

I don‘t understand why you export the Kicks to make kickrolls, because in Nimble Kick you can draw in kickrolls and still change the Sound of the Kick

[@OnPointSamples]

Makes it a bit easier to visualise the kickrolls, and gives me a bit more creative freedom

[@MrWilm]

I reccomend Endless Smile! It's amazing for buildups or just effects!

[@realerwinonair]

This is some high end editing... holy shit bro good job!

[@trippynl]

Great job 🔥🔥🔥

[@skbass4842]

The ultimate référence ❤

[@Magiczelda]

How to layering leads chord ecc in one layer in Logic Pro ? It’s different or not ?

[@SirKnezan]

amazing tutorials as always! Is there a chance we can get the kick as an FLP?

[@gerhardpauli8498]

So, but how about mono-compatibility? Every time i try to mix leads it sounds good in stereo but sucks in mono... Can you maybe show how you handle that?

[@WeAreTheSideOfTheRiver]

revolutionary

[@Dyv-D0492]

This is a w documental 4 on point samples as a frenchcore i like this alot

[@netaneltheking2342]

Pls do video on leads in cubase

[@emptyspace123]

bro did vital dirty with that lead sound lmao

[@aether_reiz]

loved this video

[@TensePeacock]

Great tutorial! The thing that made the melody weird was that it started on the offbeat meanwhile it was sidechained for every beat, so kick played on the same beat as the melody, if you had just had the melody play on the beat it would have sounded much better

[@stevenhaime7]

Awesome Man 🔥🔥🔥

[@henryalexander7325]

Great video! You earned yourself a like and subscribe and I’ll check out the links when it’s not 3 in the morning! I kinda feel like a part of the song being called the “anticlimax” makes it sounds like it’s a letdown

[@relaswagger]

This is very helpfull. You explained well. Thnx so much bro 👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️

[@Voltara_dj]

Nice tutorial! Will you also be making videos with Abletone Live in the future? I work with Ableton, but am now trying to imitate this in Ableton with the video here from FL Studio. But it won't be very easy 😅

[@MineGamerIL]

Amazing!, thanks !!!!

[@DaN_i_eL]

Thanks! Very helpful video!

[@danexcellentmusic]

Do more this series!

[@energy-tunes]

Another banger

[@Ignitezdj]

Awesome ❤

[@n01z3]

allot of time went into this video, allot of people will argue about historic accuracy and the details, but that means you did your job, i am not a fan of this latest kick style everyone is using, but i dont think it will be around for more then a year in its current state, its a wet fart kick IMO, solid vid, nice to go down memory lane and how far we come as far as making kicks go

[@OnPointSamples]

After 2015 things got blurry in the video yea haha, obviously a lot happened since then and now, but yea! And obviously there was a scene in the UK, Italy etc as well Unfortunately we couldn’t include everything in the video due to time constraints 🙌

[@n01z3]

@@OnPointSamples even the the history of the first pitched kicks, everyone agrees its Willem who did it first, i want to agree, but at this point it feels like lore not fact, but like any great world and story, there is amazing lore, know these kind of videos generally dont do well but love to see more in the future,

[@cutecrazycoolstreams]

god i cannot wait to watch this, thank you

[@jikai2913]

I don't know/understand what package I need to buy to make that kind of layer at 19:55 Can u help ?

[@gamax_gm491]

Thanks for that video man ! A lot of people like me we'll use it in the future to begin creating music ! My brain hurts though but thats part of the process i guess lmao

[@Sidathvader]

Hey I'm very new to FL Studio so sorry if I don't explain it correctly, but why do you have to render out the the pitched kicks with edison to then create kickrolls by splicing the kicks? Can't you create a channel with Nimble kick and then use the piano roll to do the pitched kicks and kickrolls together?

[@apersonontheinternet222]

Good tutorial but my only major feedback is to get rid of Kickstart for sidechain. Problem with Kickstart is that any time you have a kickroll or kick not on the 1/4 it's not going to trigger. This essentially means during your kickrolls you'll get clipping issues, so no side chain on a bunch of the punches. Personally I've found an interesting lazy way to do sidechaining to my punches. I've found a side chaining plugin called "Duck" that lets me trigger the sidechaining to a midi input. So I'll draw my kick into the piano roll for Nimble Kick, create a midi out layer and copy the kick notes including the kick rolls. I'll route that to midi port 1 then on "Duck" set the midi input port to port 1. This means anytime there is a kick there will be a sidechain. I could probably make a tutorial for this to explain it better.

[@OnPointSamples]

Kickstart 2 has MIDI trigger

[@apersonontheinternet222]

@@OnPointSamples Useful to know, although Duck has much better customization for the sidechain waveform so I find it better overall :)

[@BestTop-tj3kx]

Very very good

[@Glubre]

10:26 sounds like Exploration Of Space

[@NightFlareProd]

wow thanks!

[@fifadognl8096]

Can this mastering method also work for like uptempo tracks or does that need other plug-ins?

[@LazyboyLP]

Now, i might just be dumb, but i have a question. So the melody that you used in the beginning, was that just to get your Layers right? Because now i have a pattern with a completely different melody, but mostly in the same key and i have no idea what to do with it. because i did do a custom melody like you did in the first minutes of the last part. Dont get me wrong this tutorial is absolutely amazing. But i sometimes feel a bit confused, especially when it comes to doing stuff in the mixer.

[@KillaKoi.]

i cant believe this video is free, it feels like stealing :D

[@step1610]

My G, this is some amazing editing Do you edit yourself or do you have an editor? What programs do you use?

[@Casqie]

Hey, when I use OTT on my leads, it gets a clicky noise every time a new note starts playing. Even when I have attack on lowest it gives a very short click sound. Any idea what to do about that?

[@AKOUNT182]

That’s the nature of extreme compression such as OTT, you may be able to get rid of the click by automating the dry\wet of the compressor, so basically cutting off that click, or use a de-click plugin

[@D-MaxYT]

hey guys, join the server and come have fun with hardstyle kicks

[@hundun5604]

What software (Windows) and instruments do I need (to start with)?

[@eddyed5670]

Hey! I'm about to start making some hardstyle/hardcore music and I have never made music in my life. Is vital good enough to make synth, chords, screeches, and plucks for a first song, or do I most likely need some other plug ins for that? Thank you for this video it is very informative and helpful, plug ins are just a bit intimidating due to the price sometimes.

[@TjayG89]

I did not know that’s who Dj Duro is. That’s a shocker haha after all these years.
