Thank you!
I'll try my best to increase my output, a lot might be ready for release by next year!
The loudness war is really bad news for goa trance.
The problem with many free releases is that often, those who master them are hobbyists. Yeah, they may have some advanced knowledge, but in the end they are amateurs. When they try to get the overall loudness to compete with Tim Schuldt-like masters (and those are not always ideal for goa, either), you enter a world of compression and brickwalls, at least that's my impression.
There's no reason whatsoever to peak at 0dB every few samples, but this message seems to be hard to deliver.
No problem mate.
Yeap. Blame Tim Shults. Completely destroys the music. He ain't touching mine ever again.

Gotta buy it first (unless you're interested in sending me a free copy in which I humbly and graciously accept!)
Yes Michael , I would be happy to send you a one free of charge Goa Gate to you and your Family.
If you can please send me your personal address through PM or email , that would be appreciated. Then I will post it to you soon as possible.
Cheers ,

Ten Spins Around The Sun CD3 (Ambient) has also no voice... Seems like in this question I am the expert (unfortunately).
Let me find my master, teach me, that I found not all. PLEASE.
I already pointed Kunai - Ascendancy

Dammit Filipe, you scare me. Why this after all that has been so nice and smooth lately? I have been nice to you and you have been nice to me and to all the others so why to flush all nice things down the toilet? About to flush anyway. Look..I care about you and love your music. Now there's something going on I really cannot figure out and rather wanna stay without further comments even.
You have been supporting my music the right way. I really appreciate it.
Nothing to worry about or be 'scared'. I'm just standing up to my own work and making sure it's going the right way. For certain not down the toilet.
Regards ,
Filipe
EDIT : if you still have any doubts just listen to Beast 303 - Beast 303

GoaTree or Proxeeus, we will see
It's going to be Goa Tree , if you do Proxeeus is just because you want to do opposite of what I just said.

OK, hold it right there.
You can't dictate how people listen to your music. You cannot. Whether people listen at home, in their car, in a warehouse, or deep in the woods is completely out of your control. You can claim "for home use only", but that rule is impossible to enforce and only serves to alienate a large part of your customers.
And Youtube takedowns don't work. They only hurt the artist. Consider that I've spent thousands of dollars on music that I never would have even known about if I hadn't found it on Youtube first.
I don't like piracy either, and you have every right to make a living off of your music. But you won't secure that living by threatening to sue people. Treat your audience with respect and they will respect you back. Don't, and they won't.
And to conclude : I protect my work because I know exactly what is out there.
Regards ,
Filipe Santos

It's like asking for psytrance without hi-hats.
It actually exists but it's no psytrance , there is awesome turkish stuff where they pull songs of 3 minutes with bass kick and melodies , no hihats at all .

As for youtube takedowns (and soundcloud is completely out of the question) I don't mind people coming to me and asking : can I upload your song to it. Ask and be humble , if you don't know , ask and give proper credit.
I know there are many outhere taking advantage , completely exploiting , building their own fanbase , charging for their DJsets and being arrogant towards the Artists when the Original Artists are being Humble with their music despite their 'number' of fans and followers . Is there really need for this? No.
And Isn't that so ironic? DJs playing the music that artists made and then being arrogant towards them? I know all about it.
So there's my queue and as i mentioned before , tough *shit* . My Album , my Rules , my Art.
My music is now forbidden to be played at venues , events and 'rave parties' and specially by DJs . I have no interest in it and whoever will violate that will get their karma back.
What makes it even worse is that these people knew about this , they certainly know what they were doing . They knew it would all come down on them someday.There is no excuse. Did they care about me at all?
No. Sure it's all about ego and greed isn't that right?
Sorry but from now on that's the way it is. My Album , my Rules , my Art and God bless. To add i have no respect for artists making fun of others people's beliefs as i've seen it aswel. Sure it's all monkeys and bananas isn't that right guys?
Yes. This Music is personal and as I stated earlier : For Home Use Only. Of course you can play it to your friends and in your car , put it on your mp3 and so on , but to be played at venues by DJs , that it is totally out of the question.
People are now free to make their choice , support , buy my Music or not. If yes then you are welcome , if not then my friend , i'm sorry but this Music is not for you.
Godspeed.

Au contraire my friend , these are my rules now what people will do from now on is none of my responsibility. It's my album afterall I can dictate it as long as I want and if some people don't like it too bad.

Downloaded. :/
I can see VAs being difficult to master... all the tracks have to play nice with each other and not keep you reaching for the volume. But if it's going to degrade the sound quality of the tracks to the extent that the artists complain I'm not a fan.
Well obviously there are one track or two that you need to control the volume yourself according to your need and taste
Nothing is perfect afterall we are only human. I agree there are Masterings out there being done by big names even that completely wreck the original sound of the song/track.

You are portuguese and you like manga ?
all my respect bro !
Of course I love Manga! Ninja Scroll was super mad haha (not even mentioning Akira
lol ) ! Hardcore and Mature definatly not for kids , but that's the difference between Manga which I love and Anime for the young ones which is ok. Sailor Moon , Samurai X , Oh My Goddess and Ranma 1/2 was that comic one lol many more lots really... Then of course there is always Dragon Ball my favorite. Songoku , family and friends. 
.
Thank you and all the best to you. -
Looks excellent! I guess I'll try my luck here.
Considering to give my work-in-progress tracks some polish for this contest. It would probably make more sense to submit a Psybreaks or Psytrance track rather than a Psy-DnB track, right?
Good to see you back , i remember your tracks back in the days! Respect.
