Inge:   Bad

This song should make most hardcore-addicts laugh out loud. Very weak drums (especially the bassdrum is way too synthetic and lacks all necessary depth and impact, but also the snare and the open hihat are just too cheesy for this type of music), a rather 1995-dj rob's-oldschool-classics-melody (which is a good thing btw) with a quite terrible synthesizer (it's like a detuned panflute with distortion, or anything else pathetic), and no additional things to fill the song up (such as a proper bassline, a powerful speech (which is quite common in hardcore), a strong leading synth). Furthermore, the song stops out of the blue. Why?

My advice: get yourself some proper (virtual) gear, such as the JunoX2 or Pro53 for stabs and synths. Furthermore, do not release any of your songs that you made in the first two year of your tracking career :) Last, listen carefully to songs that represent the style of music that you want to make. Analyze them, and try to reproduce them. It gives you huge amounts of knowledge concerning how compositions exactly work, and how general and specific sounds can be achieved.
