Want to produce Happy Hardcore but struggling to know where to start?
A few of you expressed a desire to start producing happy hardcore but the sticking point was that you didn’t really know what you were doing.
Here’s the deal…
I’ll show you!
But if I do it, it’s time I’m diverting away from..
- Producing, which is not my full-time job and I don’t get much time to do it
- My job, so it’s costing me money
- My family. It’s time that I could be spending with them.
So although I’m doing it for free, I’m not doing it for free because it’s actually costing me something I can’t get back… time (and energy).
Time that I could be spending making music, with my family or working.
But I love Happy Hardcore and I love helping people who have a burning desire, but don’t really know where to start because I’ve been there!
So, I’m only doing this if you’re actually going to take some action and actually put in some effort and do it!
Caveats…
1️⃣ I can’t help you with the creative side of it very much because that’s kind of innate. The kind of music you want to mate will come from you, not me. But I can show you the very basic technical side of it.
I’m pretty crap technically. Anyone who’s worked with me will know I’m crap but I’m good at the creative side, so I focus on what I’m good at.
Rubbish on the technical side but decent on the creative side has given me a few songs that I’m proud of.
2️⃣ You will probably have to spend a little bit of money.
For the first couple of weeks, if you’re prepared to work hard to see whether or not it’s worth spending the money, you can get a free trial on Ableton and learn a few things for free.
After that, you’ll have to buy it. I bought the suite edition, which cost me about £400, but I don’t think you need that. Just the basic one will probably do, which will cost about £100 or something.
I would recommend buying a midi piano. I love mine to bits and it’s not expensive probably £50 or something from eBay.
The Korg M1 plug-in for piano is what I use for a lot of my stuff. That’s about £100. But there are other free piano plug-ins that you can get to start with.
You can make a decent happy hardcore tune for free within 14 days and I’ll show you how to do it!
I reckon you can make any of my tunes for £250 worth of tech.
Of course you’ll need a computer or laptop that’s capable of running the software and some speakers or headphones.
So…
I will show you the basics of producing happy hardcore, from then it will come from inside you.
If you’re prepared to meet me half way and actually do it, so I’m not wasting my time on something when I could be spending on my family, producing or my job… let’s fkn do it!
What do I get out of this?
1: If can be the person that I wish was there for me when I first started, then it will make me happy.
2: I want people to make happy hardcore
