Awesome comp, I keep on spinning it I worry I might overplay it. It's perfect for early morning hours. Jeezlh by solar fields is awesome, and so are other tracks. Highly recommended.

Well I guess this might have been stopped if there were active mods willing to do some work in the offtopic. The only topics that ever got closed lately were by Nemo and Mars, even tho theres about 8 or so mods. I don't know if these mods are unavailable or just unwilling to moderate. But like you said mars, you warned about the spam in offtopic a long while back but the spam kept comming back. The tensions got bigger and bigger, and there were no mods to stop them from growing. I gave my word to Nemo that if psynews needed new mods I'm willing to participate. However since the offtopic closed I guess it's too late for that. Anywho, good luck with that suntrip release!

Btw guys the timer on psynews didnt synchronize. It's still running on daylight savings time, it didn't move -1.

Oops I was wrong about that track. Must of confused it with another hidden track from somewhere else. Yeah that is a good track, it shouldn't be hidden. It's not my favourite from that album thoI don't like the situation when the hidden track is great. So the only way to listen to it individually is to fast forward the last track.
For example the hidden track in CBL-World Of Sleepers. I's my favorite track of the album so I needed to cut the wav file myself.
-
Carbon Based Lifeforms have one of those in their world of sleepers album. But the hidden track is just pointless imo, I mean it's not a good track at all. Just random squaky noises in some kinda rhythm, which doesnt even sound mastered to me. I respect unreleased tracks, but hidden? They're hidden for a reason, probs cos they needed to fill in the cd's length or something.. Oh well..

I don't want to point fingers, but when the offtopic was closed weren't some members banned because they tried to spam in the general section? I remember mars closed one topic and said the member was banned, I also think another member was banned by nemo for opening a spam thread in general (maybe sunwolf?). Might be that one of these guys got mad for getting banned and waited for the offtopic to get opened so they could attack again, thus making the onwers of the site believe that the off-topic was the reason why psynews was attacked. As far as I know we didn't have any fights in offtopic recently, nobody stepped on anyone's toes..
I partly understand Fabien's decision. I mean if I had a record label that was about to put up a release and the website gets hacked, I'd do anything to stop further attacks. But what if these attacks continue? Will you close down psynews aswell? I don't really see how closing a part of your own site can help stop further attacks, especially when there is no evidence that the offtopic was the actual cause. And even if it was, you can't blame the psynews regulars for it. Nobody pointed fingers at someone and said "hack this website!".
Rather than close the section permanently I think you should just close it temporary without any date on when its coming up again. You could close it untill you find the person responsible for the attacks. Because right now if he attacks again and brings psynews and suntrip down again who will you blame? The general section of psynews? The mods? I'm just saying you should try to find the person responsible before making such harsh decisions like closing down a section of a forum permanently. But it's your call and I respect that, whatever your decision might be.

I knew there was a conspiracy behind the google translator!That's actually my name
Btw how hard is it to write those letters? I mean they aren't really letters, are they? Each one can mean a word right? My mother visited Japan and alot of asian countries almost 2 decades ago, she found the people and technology there fascinating. I gotta visit that place one day!

Man that's eaaasy. It says: Removal world general universal true justice stopping. Perfect sense!I can read Japanese but it takes much longer than reading English. To much of this nasty shit --->>> 除世普真義留

That's what backups are for!yes, they tried to remove, but they didn't manage... luckely
-
As far as I know the content wasnt removed but the harddrives were unmounted, so lucky enough the content of the sites are untouched. That's what I got in my email anyways.Yeah, the site was hacked, and they wanted to remove ALL content of:
psynews
suntrip.com
filteria.com
Psysurfeur

I don't care really. Off-topic was a spamhouse anyway.. and I've got a life to take care of atm. No more spammin from my side even if we get another offtopic forum on relocation
Edit: No, the offtopic stays closed permanently. Mars decided not to open it ever again due to the recent hacks (his words).

Glad the site's back, as I didn't save this list you peeps gave me. Thanx for all the recommendations, Im'a check em out

Hey, I'm looking for some ambient-ish music but with alot of emotion to it, melodies are welcome (not just drone ambient music). I'm looking for stuff similar to Ulrich Schnauss. I've listened to CBL, solar fields, early william orbit.. not alot as I'm still fairly new to the ambient world, but Schnauss is where it's peaking for me right now so anything with that intensity is welcome. If you could recommend me something in that area I'd appreciate it!
Abasio, I'm look at YOU!

Hehe I was about to post that yesterday but you beat me to it

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 (
), game soundtracks (UT99 OST 
), 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.

12ms on shitty hardware that I've got right now. But I can't even use it atm. Gonna get a FF400 sometime early next year. As for other equipment, I've seen it go as low as 1.5ms, that would be sweet to have (i think that was on the fireface but I can't be sure).
-
Music preference and intelligence have nothing to do with each other, end of discussion.
As for being close-minded about other genres that's a whole different topic.

Hey I listen to aphex twin's selected ambient works vol1 every so often. It ain't techno, but it's dirty!You should all just start listening to dirty techno instead
I don't mind the lack of mastering there. If the music is good I won't mind if it aint mastered, but overmastering just ruins the whole thing.
-
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.

Sweet. Tuned in right now.

Great cover!
antiscarp!

Move the thread. Just cos youre a regular doesn't meen you should get more attention then everyone else.

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.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.
