hallucinogen infected mushroom xdream (cinos how can u not pick them....) astral projection etnica/ pleiadians

yeah with a regular synth... i did it with the ES1 in logic...

to make kicks: -set resonance all the way up. -set the lfo to modulate the cutoff (short value) -set the enveloppe , attack low, decay medium, release low -then adjust the filter cutoff until it sounds good... the advantage with this method is u can fine tune the kick to make it the wya u like it... and it's more satisfying than using samples imo...

what do u mean?? many kicks are used in psytrance... get some samples from a p2p pgm... or u can make ur own.. in logic i can make some decent kicks with the ES1... so if u use logic let me know i can show u how to do it...

u just started with cubase... so give it more time... there is no shortcut in music making, if u want the best sounding software u have to be ready to spend more time understanding it.. it's not like the user friendly fruity interface... so get a manual... it will help a lot, print it and start reading.. then if u can get a friend to show u some stuff that would be great... and practice practice... when i went from reason to logic it also took me a while... but once u master the pgm trust me u will never go back... so stay with it and be patient... u will get it eventually

i mean make the melody longer... look on the sequencer for measures...

i like the kick, nice and clean... when u introduce the kick and bass u need to keep it going longer.. ur break @0:25 comes too early... not a bad break but we just start to get in the track and u break too quickly... the melodies after that are a little repetitive, try making a 2 measure melody, or even better a 4 measure one, so it keeps changing... i don't like the melody @2:08, too fluffy for my taste... but nice pads @2:49, nice soft sound... yeah that melody has to go man, it stays on for too long and it doesn't sound powerfull enough... then after the break @ min 4 try introducing some new sounds to keep it interesting... and the break is too long... @ 5:36 the melody doesn't fit with the bass, try making it in the same key.. and the last melody ... well sounds like a nintendo melody.... not my cup of tea to say the least... for melodies try putting more shorter notes and experimenting with the lenthg of the notes... and make ur melodies longer...

to hear sound u need to go to the preferences... there is a menu where u select which soundcard u have... after that try getting a hold of a manual on some p2p... helps a lot...

not sure about detune... but with pulse width u can assign it to an lfo.. then u can set the lfo to restart at a constant rate, like 1/4, 1/8 or 1/16... not all synths allow u to do that but i can do it easily with my nord or with the ES1 in logic... what do u use for bass? hope that helped...

urgh.. slider to the left sorry...

well... move the slider to the right, almost to the end... then play with the notes velocity... then eq --> cut the high frequencies...

yes Steinberg Virtual Bass- 1... try it.. it's free

well it depends if u like their latest albums... i don't so i don't bother with them anymore ( i have seen them 3 times) but if u like the new tunes, i would suggest u go.. they will play few old tracks but vast majority will be new stuff... btw there is a nice scene in NY, san francisco (where i live), LA, etc.. so there is psy in the US... and Im doesn't play differently in the US to my knowledge.. i saw them in france and they played similar stuff...

hahah mylo that cover is awesome... my feelings exactely..

@ carnage get rif of that melody cause it's hard to hear what's in the background... and try to make a longer loop...

kicks on the 1st beat on each measure... snares on 2nd and 4th.... hihats on the off beat... u can also have running hihats with 4 16th notes in a row like this: K = kick, S = snare, H = hihats, h = running hihats K K K K S S H H H H hhhhhhhhhhhhh hope that makes sense... those are basics, don't feel like u have to do it just like that... experiment

@ spectraldata.. check ur PMs..

second track also has very nice groove, good melody... it got a little stale at min 4 but then u increased the layers and the feeling nicely, maybe u can add a melody at the end on top, to finish it off nicely.. but overall i like ur style very much, i like the sounds u use, thr fx and the groove... keep up the good work ben

i really like the bass in orbital spirit.. very nice nice groove with the hihats and snares... but u might want to add in a melody on top... then the break @ comes in too abruptly i feel.. maybe the volume of those voices when it stops have to be higher a bit... damn that bass is sweet !!! what did u use?? u might wanna make that acid sound at the end a little longer, and louder too i think... but i like ur style man, nice stuff overall...

@ seraph there was a rmx of "as a child..." by xdeam?? didn't know about that one, which compilation was it released on?

bass is too low... can't really hear it... the melody at 2:43... there is clipping, u have to lower the sound... yeah major distortion there... other than that it's not my style too much but i have to admit that for a 1st try it's very good... hihats have to be more clear as cybernetika said, maybe put some reverb on it (not too much though), it might work... btw what pgm did u use?

http://sky.servermms.org/s,trancegoa,1,,7899,1,0.html here is the link that explains everything...

get vb-l... and play with velocities and note lengths...

i found that a very important thing is tuning each sample to make it fit the key u are working on... then u can also shape them with enveloppe... so they are not too long for example..i use battery from my drum samples, where it's easy to do those things... another important thing is to have the right samples... sounds basic but it helps... so try collecting many samples and then make a folder with the best ones... one more thing is play with velocities... u can make very cool and groovy stuff that way... also u can add some delay to ur drums and some reverb, works wonders...
