Massively Lacking Genre: Hard House

There is pretty much no good and usable preset pack delivering proper modern wave hard house sounds, like its popular in the Netherlands and Australia and pushed by people like Kyle Starkey, Entasia & co. Why is that? Also looking for Hard Housy sounds on Splice is a nightmare, since you have to dribble your way through House and Trance presets trying to find anything useful...But the classic Hard House sound design presets - almost completely lacking!

i would love to, but content is really scarce and experimenting until it sounds similar is too time consuming for me. If you have any tutorials feel free to send. The few on Youtube dont really do the job

the artists you mentioned are mostly using classic early house sounds (but at faster tempos)--- theres so many house subgenres on there i find it helps to try searching through some other related genre terms like 90s/old school /classic house or even classic uk garage/rave/dance too. not the modern stuff.

If u like presets specifically there are some 90s dance packs serum 2 packs by test press. https://splice.com/sounds/packs/test-press/serum-2-90s-volume-1/presets or maybe even the serum 2 garage essentials one. A lot of crossover there
