Hey guys, can someone let me watch them create tracks live?
I will stay up 24/7 to catch you when you get on even if it's not scheduled.
I just would like to watch someone experienced make multiple happy hardcore tracks. I've been making music for 3 yrs or so, multiple genres, but i want to excel at this genre, i don't have a job, but i'm good at mastering music so if you want me to master your tracks completely free in exchange for doing your thing on sharescreen skype or some other thing i can download i'd be more than happy to master all your tracks. I want to grow and I'm now realizing books are no longer helping me along with the little amount of information there is online for happy hardcore sound design/tricks and tips. I will mute my microphone if you'd like while you create your track so i'm not a distraction.
Here's a link to my latest song i tried to make happy hardcore?
https://soundcloud.com/brandon-606238492 I think the mixing job was what made it not 100% sounding professional... but if you mix your song nicely I will make it bang I promise I will be super respectful and nice btw!!! i'm a very cool person :) anybody experienced at HH Give me a chance!!!!

Sadly from what I understand it, you can't really make a living on happy hardcore, especially not if you are unknown or upcoming.
Not wanting to be a downer, I just want you to be prepared that it will take a while

Oh. Guess I misunderstood what you meant by "no job"

There are lots of occasional live streams of producers working in the studio. Gammer did a few recently and other Hardcore producers as well (forgot who). Also it doesn't have to be Hardcore as a lot of production technique is universal at least to electronic music if not any music.
Listening to your track and you telling it has been only three years of learning there is still a lot ahead of you. Especially training your ears and getting a sense of what sounds 'right' and 'wrong' is something you simply can't learn from streams b/c of the shitty audio quality.
My suggestion: look for production tutorials (use the forum search!) and streams from producers you like (follow on twitter/Facebook/whatever, sometimes they are spontaneous). But also try to analyze and reproduce tracks or just synths/fx/sounds you like. Trial and error and critically hearing for yourself will help you as much if not more as watching somebody on a stream doing something you can't properly hear on a skill level you might not fully comprehend.
p.s.: Get decent monitors or at least headphones if you haven't already.

I have studio monitors and speakers, and i've seen practically 2/3rds the videos on youtube and sonicacademy/bassgorilla/adsrsounds... and i go on kvr and hella other forum sites, but it's just like the difference between having someone to ask my personalized questions like why did you do that and where did you reason your design on this sound in this order? It's not the same as having somebody as a mentor yknow? It's not so easy for me to mimic or replicate sounds from other artists either, yeah i can listen to the melody and chords and crank those out in different instruments, but that doesn't feel like extensive training to me.

Sounds more like you need to put into practice all you've said you've watched.
What style have do you feel you have produced succesfully, if I may ask?
btw, just listened to your soundcloud link. not bad. composition is actually good. more than a mixdown issue I sense more of a mastering one.

where you at in the US?
it would be sweet if you could meet another fan/ dj with equipment or knowledge to collaborate in person. You go to any raves or meet any other dj's ?
