That's funny, I have a similar (or maybe opposite) problem. I've got loads of scrap projects with some sort of synth lines, melodies etc. But most of these just stand out too much. Having a hard time combining them because they sound too massive when both included in a track. Kind of overkill, bit I just can't help myself when I'm tweaking a synth. It allways turns out too.. hmm... I guess too "noticable" or "powerful". I'm not a master of subtle sounds hehe. Even when I make pads they stand out too much.

Also Trancemaster Vol. 11 Track 03: Aban Don - State Of Mind (Metal Mix) (5:52) - Made by Avi Nissim & Yan-Iv Haviv, the first of the two is a member and the second an ex-member of Astral Projection. It's actually a pretty good track. Sort of SFX-style but more melodic & goa-ish.

CompactStick - the successor of the CD
Malevol3nt replied to RTP's topic in Music Making and Production/Industry
I'm not going to try to figure out what everyone else thinks, but in my general view of objects in life - and this goes way beyond this topic: If it's painless to reproduce, then share it for free. From a music perspective let's see the following statement: Artist releases music. Expects money in return so he can own more of his needed objects (one example: food). Now, if food was an object that was painlessly reproduced, then food would not cost money. In that case you would not need money for buying food, and the statement above would now be: Artist releases music. Does not expect money in return because he can own more of his needed object (food) for free. ---- Of course, food isn't free. And many more 'objects' aren't free either. --- Basically, we're half-way thru to free duplication of objects. We found a way to store information digitally and their duplication is easy. Now all we need to do is find a way to make real-life objects duplication easy. The thing is, people have allready started to love the fact that they can own something virtually free. And the problem is, everything else that is non-digital is not yet easily reproduced and is thus not free. The question is: Do we find a way to make life necessities easily redistributable, easily duplicable? Or do we find a way to deny access to anyone that ever tries to own an object or information for free, even tho it's easily duplicable? -- It seems to me that free ownership of objects and information is a natural part of our evolution. The money system we live in these days was forced upon us. Did you ever have a choice weather to accept or not the system we live in today? Why shouldn't there be a choice? Shouldn't that be a fundamental right for everyone - to have the ability to choose their own way of living? People assume that they should do what the majority of people are allready doing. But that's no way of living a life, not in my book. - To answer your question (in my case) of weather or not it's wrong to download material that could lead to the loss of money for the author of that material: If the money system was something that actually worked, in a way that it awarded people who genuienly give their efforts for something that is considered a 'good deed', then the answer would be: Yes, it's wrong to download something which has a price tag on it. However, it's the exact opposite. And my answer is No, it's not wrong. I'll contribute in any other way that I know of and when I can. I'll rather have friends then mercenaries. And I'm not selfish, I allways help out whenever someone needs that help and when I know I can give the help that's needed. Feeding the system with more money would, in my view, only contribute to an even greater addiction to the money system, which is corrupt in it's every form. So this whole downloading issue for me has alot to do with my principles, my view on money itself. I hope you can understand that. If not.. well that's allright, I won't judge you. But I had to make this clear. ~Peace -

It might help them for a while, but the more clever ones will start using encrypted protocols and then it's really back to square 1.

I'm tired of this sausage fest. Be a money addict if you like that, It's your choice. I'll try to live free. End of my participation in this thread. -
Wow, almost every single release has the word Goa on it. That's quite weird. The list: http://www.millenniumrecords.de/item_view.php

CD's are carrying digital files. How many times do I have to repeat myself? If you didn't notice, less then 10 years ago there were pirates who would buy a CD album and rip it to their PC. Then they would burn the rips to hundreds or thousands of empty CD's and distribute them via postal service or meet with other people for hand to hand delivery for a sum of money. They could easily re-sell the albums for half the price. They actually made a profit out of someone else's work. There were even complete illegal organizations that made huge profits out of copying CDs and selling them for a lower price (Remember the news on TV channels every once in a while when they would bust huge CD-copying factories?) Bottom line is, piracy was allways there. It didn't just came out of nowhere in the form of mp3 music. So stop blaming internet piracy for ruining the music industry. If people want to support their artists, they will buy the albums or go to their lives or contribute in one way or another when they can. -

I could argue for days, but there's no point to it. CD's will die sooner or later, just like Cassettes did. I think the next big thing is Cloud Music Libraries. And it has allready begun - http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20081...everything.html The one big issue with legal music downloads is portability. You can download your music to your PC, but then you have to manually copy that music to as much devices you want to use the music with. For example, you might want to have that downloaded music on your PC, iPod, your car stereo, your PC at work etc. Wouldn't it be more convenient if the only thing you needed to do was enter a username & password, and have access to the music you bought for any device you are using? All you would need is a wireless internet connection (for your car, iPhone etc), and the music you want to listen to would be streamed directly to your player. With wireless networks on the rise, this is allready possible. -
Would you care for a non free psytrance magazine?
Malevol3nt replied to Ormion's topic in General Psytrance
Actually Playboy (at least the local version here) has become more of a humour magazine then what it's original purpose was. Honestly, the guys write some real funny shit, but the number of actual 'content' has come to an all-time low. I guess since they don't offer much content they had to start writing some interesting read, otherwise nobody would buy it. It's pretty much become a magazine for a fun-read, no 'exciting' content if you catch my drift. -
Eurovision here we come..!

Hey thanks, didn't know about that. -

Malevol3nt replied to Ormion's topic in General Psytrance
Interesting.. I'd actually like that aswell. Something de-centralized, with album reviews and party events, gatherings etc. There were allready a couple of free magazines. Trancers Guide is one that used to be delivered freely before it was closed down. -
