    How many full tracks have you made?

    in Music Making and Production/Industry

    It would be nice to know how many years you are into making music, just to have an idea

    I do this for around 1.5 year. I thought it was much more :huh:

     

    @ Jikkenteki

     

    I understand you man. I do have this "discipline" too. Most of my half baked tracks (lol) are somewhat finished or almost, but forgotten at a certain point you dont even record/listen to it later. They are quite a few too, about a half a dozen maybe

    Another thing is that I cant make two tracks at the same time, not to say more. Once I'm on something I only start another after I'm done with it

    I'm personally biased towards having some additional action in the latter part of a track, especially if it's the traditional sort of dance stuff like we make (with beats and progressions). Every story should, I feel, have an interesting and more or less dramatic conclusion.

    Good point :)

    Again, very cool, Stalker. :)

     

    I like the biomechanoid aesthetic here, and how you keep it dark and muscular but with some stabs of melodic, sensitive elements. I especially like how it builds before the break. Again I find myself lacking something more after the break, perhaps some grit in the low end to complement the bassline, but that's about the only cricism I have. Cool sounds, unique personality, and some nice development on your part. Great to see you making music again! :)

     

    and again thanks for that :)

    This was all very simple, intuitive track. Sequenced it all in a few hours

     

    Noticed the remark about the second part, maybe its my minimalistic side, but if try to build something with even more, hmmmm lets say "character", then it oftenly looses its sense to me

    Something I have to work on

     

    oh and yes, it feels great to make music again :)

    Very cool track, Stalker. Clearly your most effective production to date. I really appreciate your take on the tech aesthetic, and the twisted machine nature of the track certainly jibes with your artist name. It may or may not be an advantage, but I found the track's beat somewhat experimental in nature - that is to say, ungroovy - and although I like it, due to its stuttering nature my head came nowhere near bobbing to the beat. This may or may not have been your intention. And although my mind appreciated your restraint in the second half, my body was itching for some more dominant and dramatic percussive elements that would force at least my head to start moving.

     

    Put in the context of an album I'm thinking the tune could be a nice rest of sorts, but on its own, despite a certain muscularity, it lacks a forceful linear control and manipulation of the mind and body. Still, as a kind of sculpture to put in a track-lit corner and appreciate I think it does a great job. I honestly look forward to your future work. :)

     

    Thanks for those words Per :)

     

    The ungroovy dry kick was intentional, the whole track was build in that broken techy feeling, 

    but I do get a lot of people saying that I should change it

    I think its justified while the track evolves, thats why Im keeping with it

     

    About the second part, I completly agree with you. In fact, after so many listens, I found that it lost its 

    track and there was indeed something huge misssing

    I end up chaninging the whole structure of, still working on it

     

    Will let you guys know

     

    Thanks for listening too, and really glad you enjoyed :)

    Oh and dont worry about immediate results when trying to get into something new

    If you are not getting satisfied by, take it as a chalenge. At least thats how I do it

     

    And your music got a natural groovy thing going on

    I listened and its greatly produced. Dont like the style thou

    That doesnt mean I didnt liked the track and the whole idea behind it, but I would change a thing or two to fit my style.

    Which is all subjective and you dont really need it :) . But if you are curious, Im talking about putting an melancolic atmosphere/melodie on the background ( a low pad, or a long reverbered synth would do the trick for me)

     

    Bythe way, now that you are talking about changing styles and try to do somehing new, I vastly recommend

    Its great for your music. Even if you dont know how to really do it. 

    You will end up blending your main style with your new attempt. Which might take to something VERY 

    interisting and creative, as I see it

     

     

    Regards

    The logo hasn't changed.

    I had to rebuild the whole skin set as it was destroyed with the upgrade.

    As for the black hole...errrr....can anyone tell me how it looked like before ? No, I can't remember :blink:

    They were light blue and the letters were black, I think :huh:

     

    Anyway, now I got used already and the link's letter who were before written in black (making then invisible) got now in blue, that was the only minor problem about it and now it is gone

    oh and the whole thing is stable now :)

    Or else!

     

    I might just be a title Mars set when he upgraded the forum yes? I mean, it's not a stand alone logo like the old one?

     

    Might be, I dont know

    But it was a stand alone logo and it also looked like the "right" one cause with it I didnt had those black holes :(

    I don't think there is a new psynews logo. If it is, I'm not aware of it.

     

    The black looks weird.

    It apperead two times for me today

     

    Right when I first open the site a new big light blue rectangle (lol) with Pienews written on it and Powered by Invision but a few minutes it suddenly got back to the 1st one, then suddenly apperead again when I reload it and now turned back into the pic I posted

    You can use both the Keyboard version and the ZERO (Same but without keyboard) on the same PC. I think you can use up to 4 units or something, as long as you have USB slots enough for it :)

     

     

    Yeah, novation is probably my next buy :)

    I think I would go for the Remote 49

     

    By the way nemo, do you know about the quality and price value of novation synths?

    The X station61 for example

     

    Is it really worth a match with the others famous like korg, nord, yamaha and Virus?

     

    Looks tasty

    You want innovative music right?

     

    Downhill ( The delta side project)

     

    http://www.saikosounds.com/english/show_la...sp?label_id=417

     

    Listen to tracks like Perfect man and enjoy :)

     

    By the way, the german artist gang, the ones responsible for the hatred mininal wave, is (again) taking the lead in innovative and quality music in our little forgoten scene

    Projects like Extrawelt and Downhill are not plain psytrance in such say, but has an inevitable relation to it, and psytrance feeling too

    In the end, is the best we got, by a long shot :)

     

    Np: Downhill- The final Miles

     

    Beatiful
