  1. Actually it was a choice on my part to make the bassline different from a typical Psytrance bassline, I wanted it to be more in the background (or "underground") and have a more unconscious effect on the listener, if that makes sense. Not good to hear about the kick though. Here's a spectrogram of the kick from the first section of my track, by way of comparison; the peak is around 1.1 kHz - is that what you mean by midrange?

    Hi!

    so wait, you actually program your own daw?

    Not sure whether it's fully-featured enough to be considered a DAW, but it's definitely a thing that makes noises of some sort.

    music reminds me slightly of both MFG, Planet BEN, and Hara Gobi. but its certainly its own style.

    Cool, thanks. Don't think I've ever actually heard Hara Gobi, will check it out.

    This might require a bit more mixing/mastering work (IMO it still doesn't have enough bass - not in the sense that you should add more low frequencies, but the bass and especially the kick somewhat lack presence and impact).

    But sonically and musically it's really impressive!

    Good to know, thanks. The bassline is concentrated in the low harmonics, so maybe that's the problem. I did try boosting the upper harmonics a bit when I was mixing it but didn't like the result. Also I reduced the low frequencies (centred around 65 Hz) in the kick, maybe I shouldn't have?

    Can you link to that Clojure software? I never heard of it and what I googled seemed not for music?

    Clojure isn't for music, it's a general-purpose programming language that I used to write my software. The original version was written in Python but Clojure turns out to be much better suited - it's a dialect of Lisp but it runs on the Java Virtual Machine and can call Java code, which means I can write high-level Lisp code for the complicated stuff but do all the low-level number crunching quickly in Java, and also that I have access to the whole Java ecosystem for GUI programming, playing audio and so on.

    Pretty good! You?

    Not bad thanks. Work is super busy which is why I'm seldom here. But I'm pretty lucky in that the lockdown hasn't affected me too badly, I work from home and I sure as hell don't miss the commute.

    It's quite long but nice.

    Thanks! I've been told elsewhere that it doesn't have enough bass so have just reuploaded a (hopefully) improved version.

    Now code a spell checker!

    Misspelled track names are a psytrance tradition though.

  4. Recently had a hearing test and my hearing's fine too apparently (the ear doctor also had me do an MRI scan that was also fine). The tinnitus is still quite bad, but has been relatively good for the past week - it seems to be correlated with the weather for some reason.

  5. After attending parties for years without ever having any real problems, I did an absolute number on my ears at a party I went to in December. Four and a half weeks later I still have loud tinnitus in my left ear, which tends to get worse in the evenings. Seriously people, wear hearing protection at gigs.
