look how happy he looks at 5:47 after getting a compliment. it makes me happy to see him happy

[@Rekennnnn]

Thank you for bringing Stonebank on the masterclass. One of the most talented happy hardcore producers out there.

[@PixelConcept]

Your kidding, right?

[@lartan18]

PixelConcept dont bring that negativity here just because you disagree

[@lartan18]

@OpenTheVoid then what is it

[@chombersdeluque8087]

it's sad hardcore

[@arhiwall]

@@chombersdeluque8087 happy=euphoric, bright side.

[@DjRavine]

Wow DJ Ravine! What an amazing video, learnt so much!

[@DjRavine]

Me too thanks.

[@nopeahuoli]

m8

[@nozua]

feedback tho: I think there's too much of a jarring difference in volume between the intro/outro and the rest of the video. like I have to turn the intro down then turn it back up to hear you guys talking. minor issue but great video overall

[@TheFactoryOfMusic]

Lmaooo

[@tacoduckboy2257]

Ha

[@Mindprinter]

Amazing tutorial. The idea of having a second guy who is asking questions makes the tutorial more detailed. It answeres questions directly. So many tutorials assume that you already understood what's happening.

[@speakingcolors]

Glad you made it on PointBlank man. I still remember on Hardcore Producers, all the sleepless nights you did creating presets for months. 👌 Your hard work paid off man!

[@jaket282]

Never knew Stonebank was Rocket Pimp / Modulate! What the hell!

[@greggreg7400]

no waY!! it all makes sense now haha

[@DRPDMusic]

Gammer first, stonebank now what next? Darren Styles, maybe?

[@Daidalos69]

The Story in the end is the most tragic thing I ever heard

[@gaving321]

I come back to this so many times thank you

[@pointblankmusicschool]

This is music to our ears!

[@gaving321]

@@pointblankmusicschool need more of this, in depth with artists , I know it’s old but what a gem

[@Fa1led]

I appreciate so much that these producers share their knowledge of techniques and tips, which must have took long time to learn. Massive respect!

[@glmrmusic]

23 Minutes of the best artist in the game? I'll take that!

[@josua7018]

12:23 full melody, both the part we hear through the video and a second part. Amazing. I love it

[@bypass6352]

Stonebank is just amazing, such a talented & humble guy.

[@vairexxx]

Stonebank can do literally everything. he's so great

[@zenith_journey]

Appreciate these videos man, from one Aussie to another

[@You_T2]

Intro is pretty Awesome

[@Kaleb209]

The story at the end is so sad. Alexa play Who's Got Your Love

[@Squishlemonking2]

"Man I love that hardstyle-y kinda thing" - DJ Ravine, 2018. Wise words to live by.

[@yeahthatkornel]

Please make this a T-shirt!

[@michaelbrown806]

Thank you for showing us this, it's important to pass on knowledge like this moving forward for the future of the music. I am sure he had many years of struggling to get to this point with techniques, and without the benefit of videos like this. Very much appreciated. Top marks!

[@zenith_journey]

I like the automating of the rate of the lfo, great tip didn’t think of that- makes it way more natural

[@DJMKN93]

Fair play boys! Great watch :) NEED that studio desk!

[@realbeatsbykhali]

Do you have any idea what that desk is?

[@ReForceofficial]

kick and bass next!

[@nobexwahengbam5481]

This was so much fun watching , Stonebank you are still my favourite HAPPY HARDCORE PRODUCER😍😍

[@tommeSVK]

I started to listening to Happy Hardcore (if that's what it's called) only because of Stonebank. Emotion I'm getting from this music is not happiness though. I adore it!

[@Barnsey87]

Bonkers Albums is where Hardcore is.

[@DegenTrader69]

One of my favourite producers!!

[@excape_artist]

Do I listen to these genres he produces? No. But is Stonebank hot enough that I might start? Possibly 🤔

[@AC-eu1rx]

His music is so good, check out his songs on Monstercat.

[@motomatata4781]

thanks, Stoneback for sharing the pro tip at the end :D maybe the producers from the plugins hopefully can change this big trap in the future by listening to the users like your self.

[@DSWL_]

some cool bleeps and bloops 😮

[@stevetall3000]

I like that desk and the screens!

[@PB72UK]

Very impressive stuff 👍

[@filiprangus5826]

Thanks for the video, some great stuff here !

[@MyLifeRevolves]

I love this song so much and i love the melody the bass the chords in the background, please if someone knows please respond cause i cant get enough of this song and im so sad that i have to play it back so i can hear it more.

2021 still waiting.

[@wyldwolf]

He's basically my mentor in Hardcore lol.

[@UnlovedZetsu]

The person should do another masterclass with him but on his DnB side!

[@farcry79]

Epic, thank you for showing this. Keep the hard work up :)

[@jlcu4206]

i think that i am changing my taste of music. this sounds so cool

[@ignite137]

I remember back in the days here in The Netherlands 1997, happy hardcore was mainstream. From real cool artists (DJ Paul Elstak, Party Animals) to gimmick groups. I was hooked on this genre. I really liked the melodies . It's been there for ages. This is just a restart, with better production gear and with that comes new producers. It looks very much like the hardstyle at the moment only faster BPM and a shorter kick. I woulden't say that this renew of happy hardcore is bad, but then you know the history behind it all..:) BTW if you really want to learn about great melodic sounds for this particular genre (hardstyle/happy hardcore) check out Noisecontrollers!

[@allansadventures9459]

Yea how bout that new one!

[@allansadventures9459]

+Allan's Fruity World the night...and Children of Drums is beautiful isn't it...I really like Audiotricz too..they've really got that stuff too

[@ignite137]

Will that's what i try to explain, it's origin is Dutch, hardcore (gabber) was found in Parkzicht/Nighttown Rotterdam back in the begin 90's. Paul Elstak was one of the founders definitely!

[@ic1878]

Right now I'm upgrading my high school courses so I could enroll at either berklee or point blank. I like how point blank has so many guests that active in the industry, I dont see berklee doing that.

[@The_Master_Brain]

In fact.. simply play a bit with OSCs and use a Delay/Hall Effect.... play with the Note-Pitch that´s all. You solved it and now you can make your own Church-Music.

[@dirtysolarremix]

Just purchased this PowerHouse!🔊

[@oneminuteleft7345]

Great explanation of things!

[@stephenward2743]

That amount of reverb has gotta be a nightmare to mix

[@Bucking_Fastard]

Stephen Ward From what I heard they add so much reverb to give their leads more space because the kicks in Hardstyle are often covering frequencies of the entire spectrum. And the reverb is supposed to make the lead stand out/be heard better when played with the kick.

[@DigitalTek]

Tomáš Holec reverb actually sets things back in the mix almost like it blends into the rest of the track rather than standing out

[@Laekomusic]

Sidechained reverb is the key

[@xDanishGamerz]

Bounce the reverb into anotther buss and its all of a sudden much easier :)

[@Huetux_Project]

Best tutorial i've ever seen 🔥

[@murkdurk8961]

These dudes are the best!

[@JohnConnorCFC]

Stonebank is that absolute master 😍

[@xypod]

Now i need the song he made in this masterclass as a release, it already sounds awesome XD

[@joshmcbrien]

"And you just have to say you're fine, when you're not really fine..."

[@TheMiltonroad]

I'd love a stonebank remix of plus system - blue anthem. My favourite tune of them all

[@stuartc383]

please tell me theres another video coming where you got him to explain bass! ? !

[@maderoofficial8737]

can we go over his bass please

[@urbanizedpizza]

right!

[@gaving321]

Yep Would love to know myself cos all he’s sample packs have pretty much every bass imaginable, apart from The ones he uses in he’s tracks hahaha

[@masatfrip4703]

That's what I actually explore for! Thanks a lot! Also, I'd like to know what plugin or software is in the bottom of the screens anyway. It seems a great way to buildup tracks by my self!

[@xxeriloquendoGTA]

Yes! Love this tutorials

[@emotional_face]

ありがとう😳👏🏻

[@MichalBulat]

Nice bro !!! Thank you

[@sesidondixontv]

Thank you very much master, the reverbs of the lead group, do you always work on insertion?

[@xX_dash_Xx]

I know he did some electro production under Rocket Pimp but I wanna see an updated version plz!

[@truthbydesign5146]

I've tried to learn keyboard for years and I've never been able to consistently nail it either -- probably because I didn't start early enough in life. it's odd though, sometimes I get In a zone and record 8-16 bar or longer sequences that sound like a pro keyboardist -- but I can never replay the same complex sequences on demand. Not a fan of programming on a piano roll either, so I just futz around on keys till I get it right. Prob not the most efficient way to work, but I get some gems out of it.

[@teet3293]

1:32 - what's that floating control box down the bottom just below the Cubase transport bar? Is it the same thing that Tom Junkie XL uses?

[@paulfisher7911]

blooming hell stonebank you have done well i bet you still cant get up in the mornings haha

[@jamiecrispin7257]

What make and set up is the desk and screens looks so awesome also great vid love stonebanks stuff

[@rejuvinatez347]

I need help with deciding what preset to pick when it comes to chords, bass chords, bassline and lead when im going for Euphoric Hardstyle

[@Launchy21st]

Ya I'm gonna need a released track based on that thank you v v v much

[@pjalldayday]

20:57 Stonebank - "Tomorrow"

[@Tinseltopia]

17:10 Sil-lin-th? Damn, I've been calling it Sy-Len-th

[@DjRavine]

Me too until he said it and I realised it made sense because Synth is pronounced SIN-th. Hence Sil-enth.

[@smartl4d]

DJ Ravine lennard says it’s like saying “it’s like silence with a lisp” I would take that as sy lenth not sil inth

[@ThePublicTutorials]

Really? I guess Rocket Pimp has a faulty pronucniation then. Where did you hear lennard say that?:)

[@TallicaMan1986]

but SYFY!

[@aichi337]

but how does he come up with these kinda melodies?

[@robbedeguytenaer4306]

how you get that good in making hardstyle?!

[@zenith_journey]

The ending hahaha

[@KlangXperience]

What Software is the NAVPAD under the Cubasewindows ? There are many buttons in colored groups.

[@DjRavine]

I believe it's made by the company who makes the screens he's using. They're dual touchscreens. Raven MTi.

[@KlangXperience]

Thank you.

[@squillz6]

Please play this at knockout!

[@Bazhul]

Was this song ever released?
