    Psytrance and intelligence

    Well.. I can listen to just about any kind of music. Goa, psy, trance, ambient, metal (yes both death and trash & others), rock, jazz, classical, hiphop, russian millitary songs (:ph34r:), game soundtracks (UT99 OST :wub:), movies soundtracks .. It really depends on the mood. There's crap music in every genre, so while I enjoy just about every genre out there I can't say that I enjoy every artist from each of those genres.

     

    Oh and that comment about fans of death metal (and other metal genres) being less friendly.. that's not true. Sure I felt the same way before I knew these kinds of people personally, but once I did get to know them I found out they're just as friendly as anyone else. I'd go so far to say that they're more "open" then most people, they express their love towards music especially during a live concert (altho there's allways that group of 15 year old teens who think metal is all about smacking other people in the face...).

     

    There's friendly and open-minded people in every genre, you can't really divide people by what they listen to. They weren't born with the genres they like, they learned to love them.

    Why are goa/psy labels participating in the loudness war?

    Too much of anything hurts really. Personally, I think the goal behind the sound engineer should be to find that "golden middle" between the loudness and the dynamics of a track, or the entire album. You win some you loose some. But the better the mix you do as an artist, the less work the engineer has to do on mastering. Thus if your mix is really good you don't risk that many changes to your tracks in the mastering process, as it gives the engineer more time to focus on his part of the work like loudness while not having to worry about dynamics that are all out of place. And as you know, engineering's time costs money and record labels have their limit on how much they're willing to pay for the time spent on mastering your tracks.

    I confirm that the FIRST sample that he's playing is 432Hz and the second @ 440Hz... Personally I found the 432Hz sample to be easyier on the ears, the 440 one was a bit too "rough" in comparison. Personally I prefered the first sample but I guess it all boils down to a matter of taste and speaker setup.

    I felt the first sample (432) as washed out, without as much dynamics or detail as the 440hz one. Not only that, but the 2nd sample gives me goose bumps while the first sample just doesn't touch me at all. I actually like the music to be felt, more powerfull for the ears. Well, for classical music anyways. But you're right, it all comes down to personal taste.

    The first sample is tuned to 432, the second to 440 hz and so on. So you obviously prefer 440 hz :)

    Yeah. So this "432 hz" thing is obviously a poor attempt at trying to get attention. I knew it was fishy to begin with.. 440 hz sounds just so much clearer. :)

    If I understand his dutch (correctly) he starts of with 432 hz.

     

    "vierhundert tvei en deter hertz" first, then "vierhundert ferder hertz".

     

    (I know german, not dutch, so stay off my spelling please).

    I don't know the language either.. however every 2nd sample sounds alot more open and dynamic then the first. I think it could be faked.. but I have no way of testing it out on this pc.

    Fibonacci, the golden ratio and music?

    Here, I found this pdf file (maybe its been posted I haven't read the posts in here yet), and I've no idea what it means, probably because its 3 am and I'm very sleepy: http://www.terugnaar432hz.org/mediapool/65...sicaltuning.pdf :)

     

    Edit: Mmhm ok forget about that. Seems the guy who wrote this thinks theres a conspiracy behind the music standard.. okay that's a bit too freaky for a 3 am read lol.

    Taken from a thread on another forum, I found a link to this:

     

    http://www.432hz.org/

     

    Basically, they say that tuning down music from 440 hz to 432 hz makes the sound more fuller, more dynamic etc.

     

    There's a nice .wav sample you can download here: http://www.432hz.nl/Ogg/compilatie/compila..._Track%2001.wav (Right click > save as)

     

    I've no idea what the guy in the audio is talking (since its not english), but I can only assume he is first playing the 440 hz sample, and then the 432 sample. And then he does it several times. I can really feel the effect of every 2nd sample over the 1st one (I guess the 2nd sample is the 432 Hz one). The dynamics and the fullness, the effect of the track gives a really better impression. The first sample sounds a bit "dull" compared to the second.

     

    However, I'm suspicious that he did more then just downtune it to 432hz. It can't be such a simple trick, can it? I'd try downtuning myself however I've no installed apps like wavelab or soundforge at the moment, so I can't test this theory out. If anyone else can give it a shot, maybe upload it somewhere so I can take a listen.

     

    Edit: Here's more samples, but I haven't checked them out yet: http://www.terugnaar432hz.org/pageID_5832471.html
