    take a LOT more:

     

     

    great track man, i like it a lot!

    Spiritual vibes all over, trippy leads and suprising story, with an intense ending, very good indeed :)

     

    i'll listen to the other track now to see if it can match this one :)

     

    boom

    best of luck

    10x for the sincere review man! highly apreciated :)

     

    yes, i think as you, people complaint about guitars on psy just because they are always used the same way... it's our center aim to respect the guitar and to use it in its wide spectrum of sounds and techniques :)

     

    about structure, sounds coming and going etc, this is the first track were we do this, we tried to shift the song like if we were dragged by some strong force :D

    the track is 9:20 long, and its like the part i showed you is wandering around and all sounds get integrated into one powerful groove in the end... i think the end missing would give another perspective of the global story.

     

    About groove, i think you can be very right, so i'll look at it with diferent eyes to see what i feel about it, 10x!

     

    some more tracks coming soon, but, meanwhile, keep those reviews coming :D !

    come on people, DO iT!

     

    i'm waiting to send tracks... MP3 free stylish site or Investors' compilation, who cares! Amygdala clearly shows up as an example of how the simple exposure and promotion is the valuable prize for this community activity...

    the best will always go far if they work for it, and promotion is the thing to get noticed..

     

    most of all, we are wasting time, we could be checking tracks already, lo-fi mp3 for contest i think is best.

     

    Also, we could do it every 2 months, bringing joy to people and finally bringing people's attention and reviews for the tracks published :)

     

    just thoughts... but waiting for action :D

    He's great!

    i saw him live in Portugal, amazing live.set of modern psy goa :)

     

    i love almost all tracks, Striker, Things that..., Megatonne...

     

    He opened my eyes to Australian trance eheh

     

    Boom for the Cangaru!

    S.Africans rule! together with australians, they are great too.

    both countries produce highly psychedelic sound, a lot more trippy than almost every fullon and progressive track. close your eyes and you fly quick and far :)

     

    i saw Shift here in Portugal in march, and Rinkadink in April

    i can say that the Shift guy is a great composer / producer and he is best than ever, as for his liveset and his djing skills and taste! wicked live act. 1,5 hour live and 2.5 djing! GMS played after him and sounded like kid-music :lol:

    Rinkadink was a desilusion though... he burned the Boom's dancefloor, but this time he was arrogant and fakey with the crowd and his sound lost direction and deepness :( i was sad, and not willing very much to give him a second chance.. he was one of my favourite acts, BTW

     

    as for the australians, my favourites are Fractal Glider: total psy melodic madness :)

     

    if the SAs are the future, hummm, you can never tell.

    the present is all there is :)

    new Swan X-1 site is born !

    in General Psytrance

    Posted

    Well...its a bit annoying for the guest to have to do something in order to check out the site.I know its just a click in Firefox f.e. to allow the site...I dont think that people are used to this,people are used to useless pop-ups opening from lame sites and browser blocking them.

    246835[/snapback]

    i guess you are right... i'll try and find a way of shutting down the browser menu without launching another window

     

     

    The site is cool,i like the flash menu although i think there is a problem with the loop.

    246835[/snapback]

    Can you explain what the problem is?

    I know there are lots of things to do on the site, and i wanna do them all as soon as i can :)

    Why launch the flash menu in a pop-up window?Most browsers block it.If not all.

    246827[/snapback]

    yes i know... but if you allow www.swanx.net to launch popups, then all the next times it won't bother you, as you might know.

     

    i did it this way because it's the only way to launch the browser with no menu i think, fancy-ware-style B)

     

    do you think this is an important issue for browsing? aren't people used to this already (there are lots of start-launcher sites nowadays...)?

     

    help me out ! :P

    "Also making a climax in music is one of the hardest things. I'm getting better at it but I'm not really there yet, but I know what you mean."

     

    :) it sure is hard :) we are all after those climax moments eh eh

     

    "I had a hard time to make the bassdrum sound good tight and hard and I'm still not really satisfied, but that's something for next time. "

     

    bass is always a pain in the ass, but extra-important

     

     

    "Also I'm dreaming of rewiring reason into cubase sx, I'm sure I could get better quality sounds too within cubase. "

     

    you are right, sound are clearer and overall mix is better in sound quality (and the those VSTs hummm)

     

    good luck! will be paying atention to your work

    me!!!! :)

     

    hi there,

     

    i like the proggy feel in this track... the FX are very sweet and mind-expanding in my opinion, very well producer (delays,reverb,mix)

     

    main fault IMO is that the track is too repetitive... i think it needs stronger variations in drums, and and higher final, with something new... but maybe you are seeking the traveling progressive sound, and if so it's great! :)

     

    good work man, good luck!

    Hi there!

     

    I like your always-moving-and-pumping-sounds kind of composing, with lots of dynamics and changes... your fx and synths sound oldschool to me, nice to this kind of goa leads... the drums are vintage sounding too, merge well with the song idea... not my kind of sounds, but work well here...

     

    I think it's a good promising track... the main fault IMO is the story, that looses sense from the middle to the end of the track, never reaching that ecstasy point :) if you know what i mean

     

    good work! keep up man :)

    best of luck

    what about fruityloops and reason ?

    cubase SX.

    A friend told me that neundo also has a good engine but didn't tested it yet myself.

     

    But i never compose in cubase.  Only render.

    I rewire fruity to cubase like you do with reason to fruity.

    Nuendo has a great sound engine (maybe better than Cubase SX IMO)

    From my experience, either with Fruity or with Reason for composition, everything sounds better if you export audio tracks to Cubase/Nuendo and do the final Mix there. if you need some mastering, do it in another session (Nuendo/Wavelab) over the mix audio file

    Hi all, i need a good kick

    How do I put an effect on just one element in Fruity Loops?

     

    Fx. if I want to put an effect on my kick or bass?

     

    Take care..

    229288[/snapback]

    go to FX sends, choose one channel (ex: 6), open the VST, then go to channel screen of one sound, and in the top-right corner you choose the FX channel you created (6 in this example)

     

    hope it helps :)

    I use Reason, Nuendo and VSTs...

    great VSTs: Waves, Voxengo, Native Instruments, Orange Vocoder, Lexicon

    VST Instruments: Vanguard, Albino, Korg Wavestation, Atmosphere (this almost seems a copy of Cybernetika's)

     

    against my will, i have a giant tendency of making everything from scratch @ reason, not using too much VST instruments.. wich sound great!!

    I definitely have to go find some kind of reason addiction treatment :blink::rolleyes:
