  1. Why don't you get booked? Don't people know your name well enough? Don't you suck up to enough people? Or is it really because most party organizers only want 'big' names?

    A mixture of all of them. The scene also has grown bigger since this all started. Before almost always the local djs played at parties, now its 4 big names and 2 local djs. Eventhough the local djs are very good, almos always better than the bigname djs.... This is a neverending story though, and like in any musicgenre, we have bad sides and good sides.

     

    My suggestion is that WE the people that HAVE the opinion that something is screwed in our beloved scene start to WORK TOGETHER.

     

    Im well up for new collaborations, new ideas and to create a new global team, that can kick the current teams ass.

  2. Good point, but it's already of to the printers ;)

    You know you should imagine a drumroll when you're reading it, right :P ?

     

    It would have messed-up the balance text-image-picture imho.

    So apparently I went gave into intuition rather than logic this time.

    Anyway, thnx 4 the feedback man!

    No worries, it was just a suggestion. Like I said, I like what I see so.... :)
  3. Hi all, its come to the time, where I will be starting up my 2nd label in my life! This time I have some backup, and also very good possibilities for a good distribution network. At the moment, we are looking for artists wanting/willing to contribute with music.

     

    If you are an artist that:

     

    - Makes tech-trance (or progressive hehe)

    - Has no label, or wants to switch to another.

    - Is in the scene for the sake of music.

    - Wants to work with straight forward people.

     

    Then please dont hesitate to contact us at music (at) colo-caos.com

     

    If you want to send demos, then email the above address and we will get back to you with an ftp where you can upload your tracks.

     

    Hope to get some music from yall soon!

     

    Best regards,

  4. Well, here's another flyer that I designed on special request.

    I was very honoured because, it's for a pary with one of my all-time favourite dj's: Bim!

    So I decided it deserved a special approach.

    Many of you will probably think this is too clubby, but the organisers were extremely pleased with it & that was all the approval I really needed...

     

    Check it out:

    Hey, looks cool, but couldnt you put the date UNDER the name of the party?

     

    Smiley Tribe Presents: A date! :D

  5. We performed live few times in Germany and Brazil @ the year before the album came out.. After that we had this only gig NY 2006 in Swiss. That is the stupid truth.. And it is all about the fact that most promoters will not risk their venue by paying BLT live the same money they can pay a star full on DJ. Unfortunately since we were doing something that involved real live element it added a lot of expenses to any production that had wished to bring us.

     

    But that offtopic - altho it comes together well with what Kristian said about organizers that prefer the safe side and to book once more those overbooked DJs that will play all those tunes again and again.

    I can understand that you want a safecard when you are running a party, but on the most parties there are 3 or more safecards.... so instead of booking RajaRam and 2 more hot cool djs, they could spend the same money in getting some GOOD acts in there. Neelix, Perfect Stranger, Behind Blue Eyes, Elysium... it will most definately bring some new flavor to the parties!

     

    Oh well... things might change very soon! Lets see what the future holds from the EsknetLABS and Colo-Caos records :D

  6. Altho I had some funky history with Kristian in the past I can really feel for what he is saying.

     

    2 years and a bit ago I have released the last BLT album with the drummer Danni Makov. This CD got great reviews all over and almost no negative ones.. We toured Israel like no live act before us ( definitely not in the price range that includes 2 ppl with a full drum setup / special stage and lighting for the drummer sometimes etc.. )

     

    Funnily enough, we got 1 !!! gig outside of Israel AFTER the release of that album, and that was half a year ago ( means 1.5 years after the album was released ) in switzerland, and still with relatively "old" music for the trance scene we rocked the house.

     

    Why I tell u that? Because of the simple reason that artists sit at home and work. They work hard and it demands a lot of guts and a lot of personal sacrifice to do this. Especially for those that put their heart and passion into it, and do something with a meaning. Since the CD industry is non existant @ the moment, gigs is the place to show your art and make some money - I do belive that those that music making is their life are intitled to call music their job ( as long as they really doing it all the time )

     

    So, to finish my BLT part of story, really good music, and surely one of the BEST live shows u gonna get in our trance scene, went down to drain just because the scene was stingy enough and close minded enough about music that doesnt sound EXACTLY like other zillion of tracks. And YO - the live ROCKS u should have seen some of those parties we played.

    Nowadays I must say I am much more satisfied and perform much more abroad. I must say as well that I make style that is much more to my liking but also I am not booking my shit on my own - this is MESSAGE TO KRISTIAN.. I learned I need someone to deal the money thing for me, as I cannot sell myself properly.

     

    Anyway, as I know music is your way of life, as it is mine too... You will make electronic music and not in a long time u will be back with nu tunes.

    Off Topic: Are you THE Perfect Stranger? If you are, YOU FUCKING ROCK!! Your music is sooooooo frikkin good. I played FIVE of your tracks last gig I had! If you are NOT Perfect Stranger, You still rock with your post hehehe and your nick is coo too ;)
  7. bla bla bla bla bla

     

    The funny thing is that I always see mr. Elysium pointing fingers at other people, with ofcourse the necessary drama, maybe.. you should try to look at yourself and find out if there is any problem within your own behaviour?!

     

    I wonder how long it takes before you're back.. just as you 'promised' not to return to this place haha.

    556668[/snapback]

    Nice and Constructive post :D
  8. I understand where Elysium's and Colin's disapointments are coming from.

     

    Looking at the line-ups of the biggest festivals around, and seeing the live acts displayed, i found myself saying: "Wtf are some names doing in these line-ups? They haven't released anything impressive lately!"

     

    I have been part of a festival crew, but when i joined the crew, the line-up was made allready, and then i noticed that the main organiser was actually friends with quite few acts in that line-up.

    So, up to a certain level i can state that gigs in the psytrance scene are based on friendships between promoters-organisers-artists. It's a process similar to "bed-ing your way up".

    Surely there are also serious organisers, serious promoters, serious labels who sweat to get good results in their psy-activity, and maybe end up loosing money, but still have the energy to go on. But there are also good artists that sweat, and when the people you work with and put your hope into turn out to be fake, the disapointment is much bigger.

     

    Money come and money go, and money can be lost, cause we're built so that we can make more. But art is not like that, art cannot be wasted. Art is time, time is precious, time is life. You waste art, you waste someone's life.

     

    My only advice to artists that get disapointed by the scene is: Take control of your dreams, and don't put your hopes in one person only (one organiser, one promoter, one label)... it's you who's got the gold, and 99% should never be "good enough"! Be an artist at soul, and a bussiness man at mind. Life's a bitch sometimes and we must be kameleons.

     

    Psytrance is not dead, psytrance has just split into more psytrances than what we expected.

     

    So Elysium is leaving the scene, but Kristian Andersen is still making music. His progressive house electro tunes have impressed me nicely these last few weeks, and he's doing well gigs-wise and promotion-wise too. The music sells also. So i have no reason to say good bye to nobody, i still have his good music in my life.

     

    Good luck Holm & Andersen!

    AMEN!
  9. Im also angry. I can feel with Kris, but not at all the labels (which im sure he didnt mean). Ive been in this scene for over 15 years now, and its surely going down the drain.

     

    We need fresh people, fresh thoughts, and fresh labels, and fresh music and fresh girls and fresh boys and fresh drinks and fresh beer and fresh everything. So now I am going to:

     

    1. Start a label (well already regged but need to release).

    2. Gonna make some more music.

    3. Try to think in new ways.

    4. Get a daughter :P

    5. I already have a son!

    6. Start a brewery (always wanted to have my own beer!)

    7. Take over the Coca Cola company!

     

    Does that sound fine? :D

     

    Greetings Kris and all the people that want to change something in this scene :D

  10. in windows you can assign which cpu you want the program to run on

    affinity in task manager :)

    556399[/snapback]

    In Taskmanager ive set it to high prio, and in cubase now to use both processors. WELL, it was already set to that, but for some reason I had to take it OFF, and then restart cubase and then ON, and then restart cubase again. Now its showing me exactly what its showing in taskman.

     

    Where in taskman do you set that option you are talking about? I cant find anything else than which prio hehe :D

     

    EDIT: NEVER F... mind :) I got it ahhaha :D Ive had a beer already :D

  11. From the Getting started manual on page 55 (DOH I FEEL STUDID).

     

    The Expert settings.

     

    On the VST Audiobay page you will find a button called “Expert…”.

    This opens a dialog with advanced settings for the VST Engine, including

    a Multi Processing switch. When this is activated (default setting if

    you have a hyper-threading or multiple-CPU system – in a single-CPU

    system, this option is greyed out) and there is more than one CPU in

    your system, the processing load is distributed evenly to all available

    CPUs, allowing Cubase SX/SL to make full use of the combined

    power of the multiple processors. See the Online Help for details.

    Activating the “Lower Latency” option will basically disable the CPU

    overload protection, but allow for lower latencies. See the Online Help

    for details.

  12. there should be a checkbox for multiprocessing somewhere where you choose the asio stuff.

    also try putting more load in it, so the sx cpu meter goes to 100%. see if you feel anything going wrong.

    maybe buffer settings? dunno..

    555948[/snapback]

    Well, the problem is not performance, because it runs fine with no crackles or anything.

     

    My buffersize is fine... Ill check in Cubase later on tonight! :) Thanks a lot for the hints!

  13. i get that sometimes

    rebooting helps

     

    is cubase set to use your dualcore or HT or whatever it is?

    555804[/snapback]

    How do you set that up? Im good at computers, but im totally new to this dualcore thing. Its an AMD 64x2 3800. I have 2 gig of Ram in it now, because the 3rd stick was not dual core and it wassnt 128bit :(

     

    Rebooting didnt do anything actually. However when I set the priority in taskman to Realtime, it went down a LITTLE bit....

     

    I know on a MAC you can chose how much of the CPU you want to use for each application, shame you cant do the same on a PC :(
