To create a "useful" Hardstyle track from a song like "Arcade," producers focus on three primary pillars:

: For the "huge" sound required during the drop, producers use three specific chord layers : Basic Saw : A standard saw wave with LFO for movement. Detuned Saw : Multiple unison voices for width. The Blend : A hybrid layer that balances clarity and grit.
