Goa Travellers

I didn't know Liquid Flow. It's pretty good, it seems! Thanks for sharing! Yeah, I also love Radical Distortion - The Dreamer

Yeah, music released by Suntrip Records is quite close too! I love it ! Thanks

True. I'm a great fan of MFG, which produces music that reminds Radical Distortion somehow. Thanks

Hello, Could you mention similar bands like Radical Distortion please? I like their music, but I don't know other bands that play similar music. I'm searching for the same type of sounds, rhythm, arrangement, etc... Other goa trance artists are good but too far from what they do! Thank you!!

Hum, some cool gear, you have! Nord rack, Access Virus, Focusrite i2i, KRK Rokit 5...

You could try Steinberg's UR22 soundboard, it is cheap and good. Another cheap alternative is Focusrite's i2i. More expensive are the MOTU Ultralite, MOTU MicroBook, and MOTU Track16. I have an RME Babyface Snow that also works very well.

Not lost, rather recovered I found the origin of the Omputer "Space MIDI" lyrics. They come from the Star Trek Conversational Klingon transcript: Here's the original soundtrack, and this is the goa trance tune

Polysynths...There are so many out there...And good ones. What about VSTIs? Some of them are really good. I'm thinking about the Waldorf Largo and the Sylenth1 or Omnisphere which all have nice pads. Granted the Blofeld is immense

Yes, there usually are for cheap in the classified ads (as low as 350-400 euros sometimes)

That's just saddening. There's also another video on YouTube of a guy completely destroying a Juno-60 in his pathway.

I haven't looked into this topic, but what about using a band-pass filter? I'm afraid this would also pick some background noise...

These 2 sets are very good! What do you mean by "acapellas"? Do you mean mixing tunes? Usually, people talk a lot about Traktor to mix tunes. Or do you mean playing with live instruments? Or singing/talking on top of live sets? Please let us know!

Nice x0xb0x and BassStation 2! Yeah, DAW vs. hardware sequencing: 2 worlds...

Nice! Thanks for sharing

Nice Could you tell us what gear you have to play live? e.g. the drum machine (jomox, nord drum, etc...)

It's difficult in our genre, but it's feasable. Check out GadgetG's live sets, he's awesome! If you go the hardware way, what you need to do is have a central hardware sequencer with lots of note sequences well organized, that you prepare carefully beforehand, and then you play your sequences one after the other in parallel for every track, sending the notes internally and to a few hardware synths. Good sequencers are the Yamaha RS-7000, the Roland MC-808 and MC-909 (and possibly the Elektron Octatrack and the Akai MPC-5000). Then you need a mixing desk, and a few desktop effects such as the Korg Kaossillator. You can also mix live using a computer (and possibly hardware synths or VSTIs), in this case, you could use a DAW (e.g. use Cubase's arranger panel, or use Ableton Live's clips in the Scene view), and send the sequences to the hardware/software synths. There are many challenges, you have to keep your notes within a specific scale, or the mix may sound awkward, the sound levels have to be well balanced also. As you play live, i.e. in real time, there's no way to mix like you would do in a studio narrowing down a specific instrument to leave room to another, fine-tuning, polishing, etc...So the quality is never going to be as good as a final studio mixdown, but the result can be quite interesting, though.

I think this is the original video.

Electric guitar is awesome in our music genre, e.g. in "The Delta - As a child I could walk on the ceiling", or in "Sun Project - 380 volts".

Looking good. Reminds the Dark Energy

Those of you fond of modular synths can take a look at this series of videos

The TR-707 kick drum can be used in goa trance. This is an MKS-7 (TR-707 built-in). It's not 100% goa trance, but the sounds are there.

I quite like the worrying atmosphere and the acid sound!

Hi guys, and thank you. Yes, this is it: Cosmosis - Telekinetic

It looks like one Clavia Nord Modular G2X got sold for real cheap
