The Magic About Hardstyle Kicks | Studio Session With Clockartz #2

[@tbg4ming126]

2017 kick was a whole different vibe 🥳😀

[@Fraiz0r]

2014 - 2018. Missing that kind of kicks !! 😢

[@DTunezOfficial]

Great video and cinematogrophy!

[@DIONYSUSHARDSTYLE]

2016 kicks hit different

[@LOCKY777777]

2014 kick. So good 👊

[@Hardcrafter2807]

I'm making a doomcore/darkcore track at the moment and I'm actually super happy with how my kick turned out for it. I'm surprising myself to be honest since while I have made kicks the past, I wasn't making them all the time and constantly learning. It's actually the second kick I've made this year, the first kick was for an extremely experimental 300bpm terrorcore type track which I made in the Cubase 11 trial (though I decided to getting FL Studio after). One thing I particularly enjoy about hardstyle and hardcore kicks is that you can just play around with any distortion type, and more different types of effects until you eventually find something you love. Plus, having Kick 2 or any other drum synthesizer that you can play with the settings of even post-processing can help find the sound you want. Kick production might just be my favourite thing in hard dance music production.

1:47 I hear Zatox from 10 years ago. But perhaps it is just the screetch which sounds like the one in "How Much Can You Take". Personally I like the old ones but the 2020 is fking dope man.

[@Aerox90]

Thanks for the tips! 🙂 I just got back into producing after a 10 years break. It's really cool to see how different techniques has evolved since I was active! 😁

[@puntech3248]

Thanks for the tricks man this is helpful and encouraging, i know how stressful it was in making kick process, people keep suggesting using sample available but my desire will never fulfilled in producing if i give up on them. Once again thank you

[@Clockartz]

Thanks you Jerry! Yeah you say it, i couldn’t live with it haha😃

[@AnymMusic]

"I guess" my man it sounds like a good kick for that era of hardstyle don't be so modest 😂🙌

[@carloscalvo6428]

Thank you clockartz!❤

[@xxeriloquendoGTA]

Would love a kick tutorial in depth later, great job! :D

[@Clockartz]

Yes🔥

[@SwegMastah]

hardstyle is always close to my heart, your stuff is very good!

[@Clockartz]

Thank you😽

[@Hardcrow777]

Yes, i learned something here. Thank you 🎶🎧

[@Clockartz]

then i am happy! thanks for watching ;)

[@popr3b3l]

Awesome to see your development !!

[@placebosaw3342]

Nice information Thnx for sharing.

[@inarax8972]

Hello, I love the kick of 2014 and 2018, any tips to make such good tails like this (3:40) ? they sound so good !

[@czechmex88]

lots of careful layering to get the character and lots of subtle tweaking after the main character is achieved. I exported my kick 20+ times even after the character of the tail and tok were achieved and blended well

[@paradigmshift7541]

what the hell is this style kick called, it's so much better than the garbage raw style and sharp punchy kicks you hear for the last 4-5 years

[@paradigmshift7541]

Hey Clockartz, what style kick is 3:40? Hardstyle is so fun to dance and listen to at live concert/festival with this kick, but I don't know what type of kick it is. I would love to popularize it more with USA scene, because I'm more familiar with this region and it would be very popular here.

[@Wolfishhippo1]

damn they all sound fire man bigups

[@sendlocation8476]

@CLOCKARTZ I am trying to make a NC crunchy kick. I am only using Distroyer only as distortion plugin. The problem I have is when I use many instances of eq and Distroyers on the Drumazon 909 I can never achieve the tail growl and crunch. The tail sound I get just sounds like a weak low passed saw wave. How can I get that crunch and growl tail sound with Distroyer? What pre filters settings in Distroyer should I set it to etc?

[@Clockartz]

I think the key is to analyze the kick that you want to remake and then make several layers with all kind of different parts that you need to come to your end result. I think making it from 1 sound is going to be hard.

[@GlJoh]

0:44 this one is massive!

[@Clockartz]

thank you man!

[@jlc5271]

Can you make a tutorial on that 2012 kick style please? The 2015 one is also nice

[@xelor7280]

Really nice tutorial bro! Thanks from Italy! 🙏🇮🇹

Thank you mate🤞🏻

[@GroundBeef1]

do you distort the reverb part after you've stemmed it?

[@Clockartz]

Normally i don’t do that, but definitely possible :)

[@pointbreak3649]

Amazing vid m8 could maybe do a gated kick tutorial in the future?

[@Clockartz]

Thank you Henno, Good idea☺️

[@AnymMusic]

(sad thing is I lowkey stopped hardstyle production because of that dang kick making, just can't get behind it lol. who knows maybe I can learn it in-between all the future rave I'm making)

[@Clockartz]

thank you! not really, mainly with distorion, eq and reverb ;)

Music from intro?

[@netsonmusic]

Most recent is the sweetest imo , thank you for video , bro . Seriously , let's do a collab pliz? just once , i'm more in melodies and you can create nice kick-bass

[@XeloX58]

Maybe you can add a reverse reverb to get the same result? Just thinking…

[@jlc5271]

How do you add bass to it? it's not a normal sub like in house is it?

[@Clockartz]

it depends, layering a regural sinus wave to it or taking the lowend of my distorded tails and adjust it until it sounds sweet ;)

[@jlc5271]

@@Clockartz great, thanks

[@Jarvik]

I don't know if it's just me, but I always hear tails go into stereo. is that a thing a to do orrrrrrr?

As long it sounds good :)

Hey Theo, there is a function called "render in place". When you select all items that you want to render and rightclick > render in place :)

@@Clockartz ahhh, yeah after a little clicking I found it under the edit tab, maybe it's that on mac rather than right click, cheers

[@HarderSoundsChannel]

Love how the kicks gets worse every year. Not a diss to the producer at all, but the trend in hardstyle kicks has really been going downhill... :(

[@Clockartz]

🙏🏻

[@JakkeJakobsen]

I miss the long distorted tails of old. Hardstyle changed a fair bit the last years, maybe covid gave producers too much time to produce and not actually play it 🤔

You don't know what you talking about clearly... the new stylez and kick's is superior ! 🙌
