I'm making a parody of an Afrojack track, I made this in like 15 minutes, but what I want to do is put this up on YouTube on a fake account and see how many hits I can get with a track that I made in maybe an hour tops.
So I just have a question, am I doing it right?

Did you sidechain the lead to the kick? It sounds like you might have, but I'm not sure. If you didn't then do that. If you already did, set the threshold lower or do some to the ratio to make it a little more pumping.
otherwise sounds just like afrojack

Why would you waste your time like this?

Nice cheesy percs, nice fat kick. Nice cheesy synth. Love the compression and envelope on the higher octave synth.
This is slightly better than the horrible over saturation of crappy dutch house that's out there, which is incredibly ironic.
You must be one funny mother ******.

Edit: This isn't that bad, I can tell you are going for what you wrote, but I gotta say this is much more tolerable than the dutch house puts out, AND you were approaching it satirically. I think you should seriously consider continuing with the satire, and finish this track. It would be a KILLER 3 AM track. Trust me on this one. Good work.

sorry but this track is kinda hot :) one of the coolest songs i've heard on here in a long time :) super poppy and groovy :) you're doing something right. you have full control over that main synth and it sounds excellent.

Why are u so easily impressed with a few samples, a release knob and portamento?
TS is right, if you know your sample libraries you know how ty this music is. SD, not sure what point you want to bring over on YT though? i mean telling the world that oyu do this in 1 hour is kind of not resonating
Doing a video, dragging the samples makes more impact i think.

Don't know what you're talking about or what point you're trying to make. Sorry.

I suppose if you dig Dirty Dutch you'd like this, haha. Thanks

The point isn't really to show people how easily I made this, I just really want to have the personal satisfaction of being able to fool a bunch of people into thinking I made something by a famous producer when I really made it in an hour.
PS: I didn't just sample Afrojack tracks, I programmed the synths from scratch and played them out on my midi controller and it still took me like 15 minutes. The lead synth is basically a square wave with a detuned saw and a short stereo spread on it and some reverb, the bassline is a sine bass with a detuned saw an octave higher on it with the cutoff about halfway open.

no it's clear that you programmed your synths, was talking about the drum parts
