    Bashing Psytrance

    in General Psytrance

    Posted

    I dont like eminem. he's one of the many responsible for hiphop turning into POP[it's Pop music nowadays, similarly that mostly todays "psy" is also "pop"...]

     

    personally..

     

    if i was to recommend something intelligent and musically interestng from the hiphop genre it would be :

     

    MOS DEF - BLACK ON BOTH SIDES

    TALIB KWELI & HI-TEK - REFLECTION ETERNAL (TRAIN OF THOUGHTS)

    ANTI-POP CONSORTIUM - ARRYTHMIA  (WARP RECORDS)

    ATMOSPHERE - GOD LOVES UGLY

    Prefuse - One Word Extiguisher [WARP RECORDS, experimental]

    Big L - Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous [old street hiphop,great skillz]

    Juggaknots - Clear Blue Skies (perfect)

    AESOP ROCK - FLOAT

    Phi Life Cypher - Metaphor [ UK Hiphop]

    I rarely listen to these nowadays cuz i am exploring other genres now but i like them nevertheless...

    Sorry, but ill have to ask:

    No tupac? IMO one of the best rappers of all times. Even a poet perhaps.

     

    Btw, i like hiphop, psytrance, punk rock, ska, reggae, classical, dub, chill, edm in general, jazz, bossa nova, blues, rnb (specially old stuff like marvin gaye, but today some great tunes are released aswell), MPB (Brazilian popular music or Musica Popular Brasileira :P), bossa nova.

    So to some extent im more like a music in general lover than a psytrance lover, and i must say that except for some jazz, classical and blues, psychedelic dance music in general (im including chill and prog) is the genre that most amazes me and that i dont get tired after 30-1hour listening.

    Its an awesome genre, and if people dislike it, well, fuck em.

    Mastering on SoundForge

    Im just saying: Dont mess with something you aint supposed to.

    Let them engineers do their jobs. Its hard to learn to master something, and you aint going to learn it in a crappy acoustic room or anywhere outside a studio with a mentor (learn it good).

    So, just concentrate on the mix.

    You dont need to worry about mastering. Unless you're doing it for fun and not for releasing your music. In which case it could just get the tune worse.

    if i recieved two tracks by two artists of equal quality one sounding upfont and clean with a lot of punch, and the other sounding muffled. i know which i would choose.

    Its nto the mastering that will make one track clean or punchy. Its the mixing.

     

    If a track sounds muddy it wont be because of lack of mastering again its the mixing.

    Mastering is an art, its supposed to highlight the nuances of a track and not make it punchy or whatever.

    on your master bus also have a compressor, maximizer etc...

    Do you know that compressing the master bus is mastering right?

    Let them mastering engineers do their job. Its what they do best.

    And you dont need a mastered track to send to the label, if the mix is good and the music is good they'll hire a mastering engineer to master your track.

    Unless you have a perfect acoustic room and fresh ears i dont think you should master your tracks. Everything that you got wrong with the mix will just get a lot worst.

    Just my 2 cents..

    Otherwise, mastering in soundforge is just like in any other software.. You put the plugins in chain and do your best so it sounds better than it did before the mastering.

    You have to put emphasis in the sounds that matter in your track during mastering, whatever it is.

    Hopefully you got what i meant, im kinda drunk right now hehe..

    PSYNEWS BACK ONLINE

    A quick suggestion or hint...

    did psynews really get hacked and go down or did Mars use that as an excuse to reformat it so he can instill his new dictatorship?

    a bit of coincidence I think...  ooops there goes psynews now it is back and everybody mars does not like is banned and he deletes, sorry cannot retrieve, older posts and he edits and deletes a whole lot of others stuff... a bit obvious mars.  Oh and the new rules really do suck... all hail Mars, the Fuehrer!

    Best song ever?

    I dont love twisted.. Its very good but not all the tracks are a 10/10 IMO...While Shpongle 1 is a masterpiece. I like both 2 and 3, but 1 indeed is awesome. Some of the most psychedelic stuff ever was on that album..

    Best song ever?

    Even tho ppl love Hallucinogen i dont find it all that interesting... IMO shmoooon posford (lol) best stuff was shpongle... ever..

     

    After saying that, i dont know what is the best tune ever =( so many... It depends on my mood actually, right now im enjoying some full-on and loads of goa specially old IM.. But a while back i was enjoying a lot of chill.

     

    It depends, always =/

     

    ps: audio chemists long long arms indeed rule. hallucinogen got some tunes that are completely uber pure blissfulness.. but most are average IMO.
