astral projection - power gen astral projection - let there be light

love them all... as always u can get back from hell and muaddib (also named mohadive) on the following compilations: psytisfaction and raveolution reloaded. mohadive is a coop with dynamic and mahamudra was made in a couple of hours live on a radio show... as far as i know

maybe because it is a girl a not astrix, the person on the cover is wearing a brah and doesn't even look like avi stupid cover though... but cool font on the text anyway... the gayhel cover is the worst ever.

there's like a million lame names... and a million cool ones. it's all about individual taste anyway gms - do androids dream of electric sheep is one of the coolest track titles i know of. too bad they did not make that up themselves though. gms also have a lot of cheesy ones like jaws, shrek, haloween, gladiator... wtf i that all about?

that is very true actually, still u can't achieve the massive and crystal clear sound of astrix (as an example) without using compressors and eq

i believe gms compress and eq their basses like everybody else, thank u very much

tried messing with your buffer settings in reason?

one for kick, one for bass, then i sometimes route them together and compress on top of that again to get it sound real tight. i usually compress bass, drums and vocals. no need to compress leads unless u do it in a creative way. I usually use Waves L2 or L3 on the final mix.

that is very true! the sh-101 and virus makes some pretty awesome basses too

if u get drop-outs it might mean either not enough CPU power or low efficiency in audio drivers. never had any similar problems with v-station vsti.

i just did one with the poco 01 but i have no place to upload the sample... where do u guys usually upload samples of your work?

ok, sounded cool, but too hollow... i bet they did that sound on their sh-101. i'll try to do a clone with my powercore 01 and post it if i can come up with something close to it.

could u please post an audio of that one because i didn't think it sounded much like the sound in life one mars when i adjusted it with your settings. maybe i did something wrong...

it would really help if you could describe it some more since these guys have been releasing stuff under like 10 different names... does it sound oldschool or not? what type of sounds? sounds to me like it's very minimalistic... maybe something from the earlier days of sfx, aban don, mantra or even dazzle pulse? hmm.. only track i can recall astral has had anything to do with star wars is the domestic remix of life on mars. ido used some c-3po and r2d2 sounds. no melodies i can think of, sorry... anyway, which star wars melody is this? the theme?

it might be cliche in the way that it is their most famous track. still, genious work. if u listen to it carefully, this track has like 20 layers of different melodic themes playing throughout the track. that is sooo coool

if u're looking for that clean punchy full-on bass it's all about eqing the hell out of vb-1

no, i just don't want to go back to tracking anymore.

omg k thx no thx

i've been playing around with the beta for a while now and i must say i'm not too impressed by the new stuff they've come up with. the combinator is a handy tool though... i actually sent them a mail right after 1.0 got released and suggested that they should add a function like this. took them some time though the mclass suite does nothing special, really... i rather prefer rewiring through cubase and use my precious waves plugins. but hey, it's great to have these units integrated though. the line mixer is also a usefull device, but i don't see why they haven't added this feature earlier... just like their new browser that should have been in place when they first released reason. speeds up your work, really. the problem with reason for me is... i always feel like i want or need something more when i use it, and that really is destructive for my creativity. the sound u get out of reason will always sound "reason" and that is just not good enough for me. still, i will go out and buy it just like i did when 1.0, 2.0 and 2.5 was released! =)

all spectrasonics stuff. really!

without listening to your examples, i can say hihats usually sounds very sharp and clear because of having their own sonic space in a mix where no other frequencies interfere. when mixing, try to use a combination of hi-pass filters and dipping of mid frequencies to achieve a thinner and crisper sound. many ppl tend to not eq out the mids from hihats but rather turn down the volume to make room for other instruments, but u will then no longer have any sparkle and the hihats will probably be buried in the mix. I use Wizoo's Platinum24 Electronic Drums Sample CD. High quality samples from Roland's venerable TR-808 and TR-909 drum machines.

This is what i was looking for.... "Overtone singing is a technique with which a single human voice can simultaneously produce two or more clearly audible tones. The usual sensation of hearing a single tone in the voice shifts to hearing a low drone with seemingly independant tones high above it. This unique style of singing challenges the ears and the voice to explore the subtle dimensions and colors of sound. In central Asia this way of vocalising has been practiced for centuries by Tibetan monks and several Turco-Mongol nomadic tribes." So... now i believe you there are actually some even better examples at http://www.fusica.nl/singing.htm to demonstrate just this...

i have difficult to believe the second sample is a human voice only... it's processed, eq'ed and filtered, so it's hard to tell how it originally sounds like... if so, can u please provide me with a link to an equal sounding monk chanting that high pitched sound and not a voice altered in some way, i might believe you:) anyway, the human beings never stop surprising me...
