[i am totaly new to making psytrance]

get hold of a few prime VSTi's like Zeta, Pro53, Absynth & albino to name a few (have a search through this section for info on VST's)

 

Use these within the Live!4 environment and you are well on your way

[acid sequener?]

i have this simple question - is acid good enough to produce professional music? Is there any other acid-like loop based music creation software?thank u !

Acid is a childs toy, serious loop based sequencing can be done with summink decent like Ableton Live 4

i find it real hard to come back and find what key or scale i was using.....

to resolve this issue you could do one of the following...

 

1. save your midi parts as reference.......well duhhhhh

 

2. stop smoking so much of the pot

 

3. write all your tracks in the same key

 

easy squeezy cheesy peasy eh!

[tracks from me n Jamez_23]

whats all this talk of expensive hardware synths being a necessity!! Pfffft.!!

 

Plenty of professional production out there that hasnt seen a sniff of a virus or nord or been processed through expensive racks of mastering equipment.

 

The right software is all good guys n gals, dont go worrying yerselves or spending yer hard earned dollar on hardware synths as they are effectively just digital signal processors in a nice looking box with keys, your pc's can doo much the same thing for a fraction of the cost.

[tracks from me n Jamez_23]

Tell me guys, what softsynths did you use for these tracks? Your sounds are of very HQ. I weeeesh I wwwweeeeesssh that I had a virus. I'm tairing my hair out saving for one!

Hey subs, The access virus is not used on any of these tracks and tbh i wouldnt say they are worth the dollar, more fun and control to be had with soft synths if you ask me!

 

Righto, im at work so im doing this from memory...

 

Mikroship - Z3ta, Pro53, and Logic's ES2

Squeezy Vision - Pro53, Z3ta, DSP Discovery, ES2, Albino & Korg Legacy.

Double Helix rmx - (so far) Albino, FM7, DSP Discovery.

 

All sytnhs of course shoved through a fair amount of soft processing along the way.

 

3.33 - donk ask! that was a good couple of years ago now!

but surely you would want to know WHY? they think its rubbish eh?

 

dunno bout the site tho...im only on 1/2 gig dsl and i dont have to wait at all, no registration is required for listening to streams

[tracks from me n Jamez_23]

Hey, all advice and critisim welcomed, good and bad man. But the fact is that the singular word "rubbish" in my opinion passes for neither advice or critisism.

[tracks from me n Jamez_23]

 

Jese, what a bastard. Just tunes you rubbish. Never mind him - I think you guys are making some really awesome music. Just because the majority of psynews members can't appreciate fullon (must be a closed-minded thing) doesn't mean that fullon is crap. Don't waste your time posting worthless comments ppl -  keep to judging the goa stuff. They don't understand that some people like to dance and not just send their mind to another dimension. Wottayouthink fullon is for DUMMIES?   It's a combination of techno and psychadelia

 

AAAaaanyways - back to the matters at hand. Nice high production quality level guys - good work. I think squeezyvision is veeery groovy.  Double Helix-Armageddon is coming on nicely - I think you can take it a bit further tho, put a nice melody in it or some caning riff. Mikroship is a particular stomper - I like alot. I like the eerie pads and fx you have in the background.  The riff sounded a little loud over the rest of the bassline though. Maybe just a few db softer.  Also when the melody comes in I think you  should tweak your synths some more to give it more interest and push. It's also a little loud - you lose the momentum of the song when the riff is too loud. But good song, no less. 3.33 is nice and dark - I like it. Good sound like with all of your tracks.

 

On the whole I think you guys have a good future ahead of you. I'm quite impressed and I think this is some of the best fullon I've heard on Psynews so far. Keep it up!

Yo! Subsonik, first off thanks for taking the time to go and have a listen man > much appreciated.

 

Its always good to receive some sound constructive critisism as you have shown here, its not always easy to place an objective ear on your own work and you need comments like this to move fwd as family and friends are not always so honest!

 

we will be taking your comments with us back to the lab for a bit of re-tweaking.

 

thanks again man

 

peace out
