http://forum.isratrance.com/viewtopic.php/.../106434/forum/1 I think the psy scene is in kinda trouble since a few years. As usual and as it has happened to other subcultural movements before, many different styles have evaporated out of the oldschool, original sound. They address lots of different people and/or states of minds, which is really a great thing. But it kinda got stuck and repetitive - but why? I think it’s just the usual: business and hedonism. Isn’t it funny, that in such an international, globally widespread scene (I think there never has been any comparable movement before, at least from the being absolutly globalized perspective) CD-realeases rarely sell more than a few hundred copies and still you have like a total jungle of different labels popping out the “killah releases” like a catholic hausfrau is popping out babies? And in the quest of success most labels are just greedy of popping out the “newest”, “freshest” – well, or whatever that means – so that for most labels the recency became more important than the quality. If I read the descriptions from psyshop, which I guess do all come from the releasing labels, it is mostly brainless, proposterous hokum. It usually sounds like a sleazy washing powder commercial, just that the target group isn’t middle-class houswives but some slightly bemused fringe group that chose to live a tightrope between drug madness, drug addiction, keeping it somehow alltogether and believing that this lifestyle would really have some spiritual potential to it. And most of the music sounds excactly like that. Italy’s musical embaressment Eros Ramazotti is for mid-aged, female clerks with widish asses who still believe some day they got picked by a magic prince. Britney Spears is for teenaged school girls who hope that their braces won’t keep them from getting their first kiss this summer holiday. Eminem is for their counterparts: teen-aged school boys with ugly, shiny sneakers and ridiculously gay belt-buckles who struggle with severe acne and hope that their summer holiday conquest won’t have any braces. Well, most Goa music nowadays is for malnourished, anemic wanna-be Terence McKennas who masquerade their addiction to drugs and their lust for transient, meaningless fun with a bunch of colorful, weird clothes, kitschy accessoirs and a mostly verbally spiritual correct habit, that often comes off a little overblown and out of place. But the truth is: The majority of Goa fraggles are basically just big consumers. Consumers of new “killah releases”, heavy consumers of drugs, of course, consumers of laser shows, consumers of dancefloors and, most of all, consumers of an old and long vanished idea of a better life as a hippie. Even the conversation often seems like some kind of conspicuous consumption, as the topics often seem very much to go around in circels (drugs, high dosed drug-experiences, which is my favourite drug, myths about safer use of drugs, the most apprecciated artist that is about to play next night and is by no means to be missed, and, of course, boom shanka, mind & soul, just be yourself and all that pseudo spiritual load of crap). Uh, and btw: Of course, you don’t have to *dance* on a dancefloor to consume it. You don’t even have to *listen* to the music that’s being played, it’s much more simpler: Just stand there in the middle of everybody, scream, cheer and whistle your ass off, with a can of warm, moldy beer in your hand and some amphetamines circling your metabolism and making your lower jaw compulsively nibble somewhere around the hair line over your ears, is all you have to do. Being such a drooly, gasping and noisy drug monster, you can always say, who ever is on stage just right now, makes the dancefloor “go crazy”. May, 2006. I was at the tragically dreadful wet and rainy Sonnentanz festival in Austria (still, the irony of that name makes me titter ) and the second night or so, when I walked towards the dancefloor alone, there was this group of – hm, well, I think I’m gonna call them Goa hooligans – behind me that sang that famous soccer tune: “Oléééé, olé, olé, oléééé”, just they didn’t put their favorite soccer team in it, but the phrase “super Goa, oléééé, olééééé.” It was at that moment, it hit me: I am at a soccer match in some British stadium, or at an overcrowed beach in front of ugly white tourist blocks in Spain, or at a ski piste in Switzerland, or at an camping site in Italy, or at Disneyland in Florida, or Mardi Gras in former New Orleans (now known as Atlantis), or at the local Burger King just next to the local charts disco, or at the Love Parade in Berlin, or just sitting at home after work watching those spirit crushing so called comedy shows. I’m just at another place where that mob-driven, hedonistic numbness is the idealized behaviour-pattern of that streamlined common sense that degenerates our little planet so much. Basically, I could be anywhere except nature - there isn’t much difference anymore between a psyparty and any other civilized place where people consume things some vibrant business-men have arranged for them. It used to be a huge difference between psyparties and the crappy ordinary world. The latter is so utterly contaminated with mindless consumerism that makes *things* becoming more important than *people*, while the former used to be more about *just being people*. But today, psytrance has become ordinary, or: The ordinary people with their ordinary interests and ordinary habits have arrived at psytrance. And that is the problem: On the one side, you have those, who want to make a shit-load of money, or to get appreciated by the masses, and on the other hand, you have those, who want to have some brainless, absent-minded weekend-fun. So you have Skazi, Domestic, Infected Mushroom and all that Goa-Rave-Pop-Trance-musical-warfare-against-good-taste-shit behind and on the stage and all those dimwits screaming like it is some kind of a Tokyo Hotel concert at the dancefloor in front of it. Or you have some pointless noise that sounds like a vacuum cleaner dubbed over a traction engine for those who obviously want to keep it undahground, man! Don’t get me wrong, there is still lots of good freaky music out there, but the market forces in psy aren’t different from those at the New York stock exchange, so you just don’t get to hear it on parties - or at least very rarely. You rather hear that mass produced CCC-Trance (crappy, childish and cheesy) for the masses, which is, from a musical point-of-view, simply a catastrophe and an embarresment for the whole scene. So, who’s with me? Who wants that difference back that it once used to make? How are we gonna get it? Where? I don’t want to ditch or snub anyone here. These are just my personal observations after dawdling away 11 years in psytrance wonderland. I really miss the un-normality that I thought the term psychedelic always referred to: That simple, basic and sometimes very hard “be-it”. No attitude, no fashion, no style, no raving madness, no narcism. Just let the woofs hittin’ your vulnerable brain cells and getting yourself brutally kicked out of reality into reality simply by the music, which is impossible with all that stopstarts, snare roles, siren sounds and that one special consistently emerging melody, that tries so hard to be utterly euphoric but just manages to be as poetic as the emotional and spiritual profundity of a barbie doll. So what to do? Could it really be that this whole scene and its basic non-verbal idea of just *purely being* had have so little real substance? Or have I been so fuckin’ delusional all this years, thinking of that idea as sharing it with others without having to talk about it? Or is the idea still there, but those parties aren’t the “place-to-be” anymore? So, where is it then? Maybe it’s just a fuckin’ awful decade we are living in. When some US-warmongers and their European poodles try to bring up World War 3, when religious and political conservatism is gaining more and more relevance in most of our societies and when our so called elites try their best in fulfilling Orson Welles’ and Aldous Huxley’s darkest prophecies, while those who would have got the potential to make some difference rave their nights and brains away with mind-crushing doses of MDMA and crappy kindergarten-guitar-riffs over some hectic, neurotically discontinuous basslines. Or maybe I’m just getting old and turned into a severe cynic at the abyss of my thirties!? Well, anyway, just some thoughts. Cheers.

wow, thank you a million stars getyourselfafix! Excacly what a dummie like me needs cheers*

File Not Found. : Cubase SX production for dummies :-) http://www.dummies.com/WileyCDA/Section/id...ueryText=cubase Hi, I'm going to start using 'Cubase SX' for the first time of my life. I've used trackers like FastTracker II in the 90's, but non or very little information is still available inside my head. I've been messing around inside my 'Cubase SX' system for 1 hour now, and I have accomplished in nothing. I might be a bit slow or something, but I find using 'Cubase SX' to be really hard and complicated. I was hoping to find some useful information in this thread about how to get started. I'll try to read up on Nemo/Spindrifts links. But I would also be really pleased if someone could post some hints and tips to get started when your at absolute scratch- Maybe there's some other threads that could help me get started? I appreciate it, peace.

you mean most mature in the childish way, right? clearly you agree that B.P. Empire was their most mature album to date. I love Other Side and always will It's fun/playful, everchanging, beautiful, disturbing and dreamlike.

I LOVED in ALL honesty the voice effetcts that Duvdev contrubiated wuth in the older tracks - just listen to 'Intelligate' His aaarhhhhh there are sweet

DP, you need to listen to that "rapping" with different ears (no, it's not fantastic on acid if that was what you think I men't). But CV got a funny and humoures quality to it... mINDING THE GAP.. SINCE 1996! hE SAIS, OR OK, RAPS IT IN A MORE FUNNY WAY. COME ON. ..uups, caps on. Anyway, yeah. Sideeffect,

thats what this topic is all about. I like CV, the track a lot. Which tracks with duvdev singing don't you mind?

Infected Mushroom, ruined them self by letting Duvdev's ego control the joystick. The microphone. What I do like about Duvdev and his vocal is the old days when he made sound effects .. you properly know which ones. But which tracks by Duvdev do you like where he uses his voice? Not sample ones, but the more "singing" oriented ones. I think his first one was Deeply Disturbed which isn't that bad. I also like Converting Vegetarian the track a lot - it's a funny track me thinks. This is the time of the revolution. Cooking the next step. Converting vegetarians. This is the time of the revolution. Cooking the next step. Converting vegetarians. Minding the gap since 1996. This is the time of the revolution. Keeping it in the right track. Feeling it in my mind back. Seeing it every day every day, every day. This is the time of the revolution. Keeping it in the right track. Feeling it in my mind back. Seeing it every day every day, aaah. I wake up! And my mind's out, Never again will I sell out. Converting vegetarians. Into the midnight giving it to you. I don't know, it just feels right. I wake up! And my mind's out, Never again will I sell out. Converting vegetarians. Into the midnight giving it to you. I don't know, it just feels right. This is the time of the revolution. Cooking the next step. Converting vegetarians. This is the time of the revolution. Cooking the next step. Converting vegetarians. Minding the gap since 1996. 19..19..1996.. This is the time of the revolution. Keeping it in the right track. Feeling it in my mind back. Seeing it every day every day, every day. This is the time of the revolution. Keeping it in the right track. Feeling it in my mind back. Seeing it every day every day, aaah. I wake up! And my mind's out, Never again will I sell out. Converting vegetarians. Into the midnight giving it to you. I don't know, it just feels right. I wake up! And my mind's out, Never again will I sell out. Converting vegetarians. Into the midnight giving it to you. I don't know, it just feels right. topic of the year?

FastTracker II FastTracker III ImpulseTracker MadTracker SkaleTracker or just plain ol' fruityloops? http://www.fasttracker2.com/software.htm Do you use one of these trackers? Didn't Erez from Infected Mushroom use Impulsetracker when he made music for Shiva Shidapu? .. I bet you use Cubase today. .. I'm thinking about making music on the old trackers to get that old feel to the acid tracks. What you think?
