Sound familiar?

The kick sounds disgusting in solo. Then the full track makes it sound weak.

You spent hours on the kick. More distortion. Another EQ. Another clipper. The waveform looks like a brick and it still doesn’t feel right.

Then the screeches, vocals and effects come in. Everything fights for space and the mix sounds like one big angry washing machine.

So you turn things up. That makes it louder, not better. And the next tutorial shows another kick chain, but never how it fits in a full track.

Most of the time the kick isn’t the real problem. It’s not knowing what each step does, and how the kick fits with everything else.

The real problem

Hard music doesn’t need to feel like abracadabra.

A kick chain without the explanation. A preset without the thinking. One technique without the rest of the track. You end up with lots of information and no idea how it fits together.

  1. 01

    Learn the part

    Follow the lesson and hear what each step changes.

  2. 02

    Open the FL Studio files

    See the routing, processing and settings instead of copying a blurry plugin window.

  3. 03

    Hear it in the complete track

    The 9+ hour build connects kicks, screeches, vocals, arrangement and mix.

  4. 04

    Build it in your music

    Use it before you move on. Watching at double speed is not a production method.

  5. 05

    Send it to bi-weekly feedback

    I tell you what works, what doesn’t and what I’d change next.

Lesson FL Studio files complete track your music feedback

What changes

Understand the sound. Then finish the track.

No more stacking processors blindly

Hear what each stage changes before you add another EQ, clipper or distortion.

Your kick survives the mix

Keep the tok, punch and tail strong next to screeches, vocals and effects.

You see how decisions connect

The full build shows why a choice early in the project changes the final mix.

You get past the loop

Follow arrangement, transitions, mixing and mastering all the way to a finished track.

You stop depending on presets

Use them as a starting point, then change them because you know why they sound the way they do.

Watch every decision across a complete track build.

A kick tutorial can sound impressive while the rest of the project is conveniently silent. This build shows what happens when everything has to work together.

See the track grow from the first idea to the master: sound choices, arrangement, transitions, mixing and final corrections.

Included for 12 months

Bi-weekly feedback shows you what your track needs.

A lesson shows how I fixed my project. Feedback shows what’s happening in yours.

Bring the weak kick, the screech that takes over, the section that won’t move or the master that sounds completely different in the car.

I’ll tell you:

  • What I hear
  • What’s causing the biggest problem
  • What I’d change and why
  • What to work on next

You also hear feedback on other producers’ tracks, so you start recognizing the same problems in your own music.

Is this for you?

Made for producers who want the whole track, not just the kick.

This is for you if

  • You make Uptempo, Hardcore or Frenchcore in FL Studio, or you’re about to start.
  • Your kick sounds loud in solo but weak in the full track.
  • You’ve copied kick chains without really knowing why they work.
  • You’re new and happy to start with the 20 foundation lessons.

It’s probably not for you if

  • You don’t use FL Studio. The lessons and files are made for it.
  • You mostly make Hardstyle or Rawstyle. The Hardstyle Producer Program fits better.
  • You already finish and release tracks and want ongoing community and tools. Look at the memberships.
  • You only want presets. They’re included, but the point is learning to make and change them yourself.

One payment. Clear access.

Your teacher at NEROZ Productions

Your teacher

I learned this through years of making and destroying kicks.

I’m Steven. I’ve produced Hardstyle, Hardcore and Uptempo for more than 20 years, released over 50 tracks, made two albums and played more than 200 shows in over 20 countries, including Defqon.1.

I know what it’s like to spend hours on a kick, add more processing and somehow end up further from the sound you wanted.

This program teaches what to listen for, why a change works and how every part fits inside the complete track. Then I listen to your music and help you use the same thinking.

Before you start

A few clear answers.

I’m new to this. Can I start?

Yes. The first 20 lessons cover the mixer, piano roll, playlist, routing and basic workflow. Start at lesson one and follow the order.

I already know the basics. Is this too basic?

No. Skip what you know. Most of the program is kick design, sound design, mixing and a complete 9+ hour track build.

Do I need FL Studio?

Yes. The lessons and teaching files are made for FL Studio. Many ideas transfer to other DAWs, but I only recommend joining if you use FL Studio.

Do I need Serum 2?

Some sound-design lessons and the 112 included kick presets use Serum 2. The rest of the production process is still useful without those files.

Do I need expensive plugins?

No. The program includes stock-plugin-only kick training. Some lessons use Serum 2 or other third-party tools.

How much time do I need?

Go at your own pace. Access is for life, so there’s no deadline. Bi-weekly feedback runs for 12 months, so that’s the year to send me your music.

What do I keep for life?

All 86 lessons, FL Studio teaching files, 112 Serum 2 kick presets, teaching presets, future updates and lifetime bonuses.

What happens after the first year?

Pro Membership becomes optional at €19.99/month and keeps the bi-weekly feedback sessions going. Without it, The Forge Pro, the community and the feedback sessions end. Your program and teaching files stay yours. See the memberships.

What’s the refund policy?

If the program is genuinely different from this page, email within 14 days. We refund the payment and remove access. Full terms apply.

What if I buy the wrong program?

Email within seven days to switch between Hardstyle, Uptempo & Hardcore and Music Theory for the same purchase amount. This is a program swap.

Why not learn on YouTube?

You can. The paid program adds one complete order, FL Studio files, the 9+ hour build and bi-weekly feedback on your music.

Hardstyle or Uptempo & Hardcore?

Choose this one for Uptempo, Hardcore and Frenchcore. Choose Hardstyle for Hardstyle and Rawstyle melodies, leads, screeches and kicks.

€299.99 feels like a lot. Why this price?

You pay once and you own it. The lessons, the FL Studio projects and the presets stay yours for life, and nothing renews. The price also covers a full year of bi-weekly feedback on your own tracks, which is the part that actually moves you forward. If you would rather spread it, Klarna splits it into 3 × €99.99.

Can I pay in parts?

Yes. Klarna splits the program into 3 × €99.99, interest-free, in eligible EU countries. You get the same program and the same access. The Klarna option sits on this page and again at the checkout.

I don’t need marketing tools. Why is The Forge included?

You don’t need it in week one. Week one is lessons and feedback. The Forge is there for the moment a track is finished and you want to release it, with the release plan, the artwork and the links in one place. It is included for 12 months either way.

Your next studio session

Build the kick. Then make it work in the track.

Finish the Uptempo or Hardcore track you started.

Follow the lessons. Open the FL Studio files. Watch the complete 9+ hour build and use every part in your own music. Then send it to bi-weekly feedback.
