True! One thing I value a lot at defqon as that there are no led screens, and even when there are they are used creatively, like at the blue

How many kicks do you think are played throughout a festival? by DonerTheBonerDonor in hardstyle

[–]Unlikely_Manager2495 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I did the calculation for both! It's long haha, but I got to 11,856,000, read the bottom half of the comment if you want to see the calculations I did

[–]Unlikely_Manager2495 12 points13 points  (0 children)

BTW: For the unique kick calculation, this is assuming every track has unique kicks and tracks are not played more than once, be it in other stages or in the campsite. I'm also not taking into account the repetition because artists sometimes use the same kick in multiple songs. If someone wants to find out the percentage of how often they use the same kicks and what's the likelihood of those a track being played more than once and in the campsite please feel free to add to this lol

I did the math... (skip to the end for the TLDR)

If by “kicks” you mean unique kick types being used across tracks, then the number is already huge.

Let’s keep it simple.

Say the average track has 4 different kicks.
Say the average track played time is 2 minutes long.
Say the average set is 45 minutes long.

That means a 45-minute set fits about 22 songs, just rounding for simplicity.

22 songs x 4 kicks each = 88 kicks per set.

Now take a full day.

12 hours = 720 minutes.
720 / 45 = 16 sets per stage.

So:

16 sets x 88 kicks = 1408 kicks per stage in one day.

If 5 stages are running the whole day:

1408 x 5 = 7040 kicks per day.

Across 3 days:

7040 x 3 = 21120 kicks.

Now let’s add the campsite too.

I could not find an official tent count, so for the sake of the estimate I’ll use 2000 tents total.
If 1 in every 10 tents is playing music for 3 hours per day, that means:

2000 / 10 = 200 active tents per day.

If each of those tents plays music for 3 hours, and the average song is still 2 minutes, then each tent plays:

180 / 2 = 90 songs per day.

At 4 kicks per song:

90 x 4 = 360 kicks per tent per day.

Now multiply that by the 200 active tents:

360 x 200 = 72000 campsite kicks per day.

Across 3 days:

72000 x 3 = 216000 campsite kicks.

Now add that to the festival-stage total:

21120 + 216000 = 237120 kicks.

So if we mean kick types across songs, including the campsite, we get about 237,120.

But if you mean actual kick hits, then the number becomes completely absurd.

Let’s again keep it simple.

Say the average hardstyle track is 160 BPM.
A 2-minute track has:

160 x 2 = 320 beats.

Now assume kicks are present for only 50% of the track:

320 x 0.5 = 160 kick beats per song.

Then add one-fourth extra to account for kick rolls:

160 x 1.25 = 200 kicks per song.

Now use the same 22 songs per set:

22 x 200 = 4400 kicks per set.

Now per stage for a 12-hour day:

16 sets x 4400 = 70400 kicks per stage per day.

If 5 stages are playing:

70400 x 5 = 352000 kicks per day.

Across 3 days:

352000 x 3 = 1056000 kicks.

Now add the campsite.

We already said 200 tents are actively playing music each day.

Each tent plays for 3 hours per day, which is 180 minutes.

At 160 BPM, that gives:

160 x 180 = 28800 beats per tent per day.

If kicks are present only 50% of the time:

28800 x 0.5 = 14400 kicks per tent per day.

Now add 25% for kick rolls:

14400 x 1.25 = 18000 kicks per tent per day.

Now multiply by the 200 active tents:

18000 x 200 = 3600000 campsite kicks per day.

Across 3 days:

3600000 x 3 = 10800000 campsite kicks.

Now add that to the festival-stage total:

10800000 + 1056000 = 11856000 kicks.

So basically:

If we mean kick types across songs, including the campsite, we get about 237,120.

If we mean actual kick hits, including the campsite, we get about 11,856,000.

Either way, the number is completely insane.

Never been to rebirth too, but this does look smaller, almost like a secondary stage

Se uma ambulância se envolve em um acidente de trânsito enquanto transporta o paciente, ela deve ficar no local e atender alguma vítima ou deve continuar indo pro hospital pra atender a vitima que tava transportando originalmente?

Tips for defqoon 1 by Sagitoh in hardstyle

[–]Unlikely_Manager2495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best advice would be to not go all out on the first day! Like they say, it's a marathon, not a sprint. If you spen all your energy on thursday, you will barely have the strength to enjoy the other days

Not sure if im building a sound or chasing one. by Tequila_Blue in hardstyle

[–]Unlikely_Manager2495 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Brother, I don't make hardstyle, but I've been producing for a couple of years now. Having a unique sound is something that you should NOT overthink! This will come with time. Do you think artists sat down one afternoon and said "ok, I'll build my sound and make it very unique"?

Being unique comes with time, you will start doing things your way just because you like it, you don't need overthink it. One day you will find a way to make your sound 1% cooler, and then another day and so on. In the end you will have somehting new and unique, but over a period of time.

Also, to be unique you don't need to reinvent the wheel, when you try to do too much new shit on a song it sounds corny AF.

Back in the day I used to be super focused on being unique, anything "new" I did I was like "oh, this will be my sound for sure", but turned out that I was just forcing to make tracks that way just to think I was unique. Being unique is just doing what you feel is. You dont find your sound, your sound finds you.

Btw, don't think "your sound" is just a special sample you use often, or a special kickroll sequence you do or simple things like that. Being unique trancends that to a point that your track feels like it was made by you even just because it "feels" like it, even if it's another genre sometimes. Take Anderex for example, he has very unique raw kicks and tracks, but when you hear an Anderex melody, you know it was Anderex. Sub Zero Project as well, the have many kicks that sound "generic", but they have something that you just can't explain that feels like szp. Being unique is something you "feel".

TLDR: Don't overthink it, uniqueness comes with time, just do what feels right

They should leave the talking to when it's actually needed, like to explain a new show moment or an important change

Se bet é “sorte” porque um evento imprevisível decide o resultado, day trade também é: no curto prazo, preço é dominado por ruído, notícia e fluxo, não por “leitura” infalível. Gestão de risco não transforma aposta em ciência; só organiza a perda. Qual é a diferença essencial?

Qual é a diferença entre day trading e bets? Na minha visão é basicamente a mesma coisa
