Question about quality of recordings
astralprojection replied to Trance2MoveU's topic in General Psytrance
ok heres the deal. if you get a release that you think may be a mp3 in disguise, then open it up in audacity since its free. check out the frequency spectrum. if you see a sharp cut at around 20khz, then its most likely an mp3 in disguise. if you see the cut higher up like 22khz, its more likely a lossless format. but the point is, most songs that are supplied in mp3 format, i will assume 320kbit for this, will have everything above 22k cut out. and this is good, cause you dont hear it anyway. the only reason flac is better than mp3, is for vinyl records, cause they dont have a filter at the end. you can find vinyl records that has information all up to 40khz. but since human hearing stops at 22khz (and honestly for most people its 16khz) it really doesnt matter. but that being said, i dont think its right to sell flacs that has been transcoded from mp3s. thats a foul practice. if you buy flac, you expect to see information way above 20khz. and if you buy mp3, you DONT expect to see anything above 20khz. Ill let you contemplate and realise the rest. -
Why are you guys saying "everyone" when it's one guy lol. Let's hope HE is ok. Cause I know for a fact he was deep in the dumps for a while like really deep down. @technosomy Facts. Can't take away from that. He did make tons of fucked up comments. I don't think anyone condoned his conduct about that.
-
fact of the matter is you bullied a guy who had problems. He had a crosseyed sight, he couldnt hear very well, and he couldnt speak very well.. If you watched some of his videos back in the day he sounded like he was handicapped. And he complained about his hearing and eyesight alot. He obviously wasnt normal. Now noone has heard of him in years and years. I had him on facebook. He was very depressed, talked alot of deep stuff, that you normally dont get into with someone you barely know. He didnt have many friends, and he always thought his friends was bullying him. He kept writing topics about this, and people here kept bullying him also. Yes he made some fucked up comments about his sexual fantasies which turned many people off about him, and I get that.. but I think he just didnt really know better. He talked about steep mountains all of that and Imba was quick to mock him and make fun of him. And many others, not trying to call out imba. But honestly, man was struggling with life alot, and who knows if he k**** himself by now... Does anyone know whats going on with him now, does anyone care? Anyone heard anything? I havent had that facebook in almost a decade now and I have no idea if he is even alive.. But last time he wrote here was about 8 years ago and knowing how depressed and sad this guy was, no friends, horrible parents, Im not sure if he even is alive... And those thinking he was a meme or a troll, no, he wasnt. I just hope he is ok to this day, and alive. And if youre reading this please come back. This forum is damn near dead so who cares . Just tell us youre alive and well brother. Thats all.

Although the main difference seem to be the kickdrum. I like the 1998 version better i think, it doesnt sound as compressed. The acid however on this one is a bit wilder tho and i like that =) ok -

granted, i uploaded it in 2010. but still its something. made it with reason 5 (or was it 3) and soundforge to edit the samples. then used Redrum to sequence them. bassline is Subtractor. background stuff is Thor. drums are random samples i found on the internet. hope someone likes it on here. 2:30 > is my favorite part

aint that the truth. and speaking of your track, ive had it on repeat now a few times and well, im a big fan.. i think i will take back what i said about kick being too loud. maybe. regardless, its a perfect sound and its a new favorite of mine. i wish more psytrance had melodies like this. its really good. speaking of melodic psytrance i know padmapani has some serious tracks in his chest, just waiting to get released... cant wait until that happen..
-
well thats good . i never heard the SC mastering algo so maybe it was used or not, perhaps it works well who knows kick sounds very nice, and perhaps its just the perfect volume. i suppose its slightly subjective. but you saying thats how you want it, i buy that. the track sounds very nice. quick reply i know but i just so happened to be online atm
-
okay thanks m8 that sounds good!
-
very nice. the square wave leads remind me of when all i had was reason, and subtractor. (around 2003-2006 id say) if anything, turn down the volume of kick just slightly. but its a great kick, just probably a bit too loud maybe. when you say "SC master" does that mean you used the new mastering thing on soundcloud?
-
very nice tsotsi. If im ever in the need for another pair of in ears, ill probably buy a pair of tws since well, its just nice with no cables. Thanks for your expertise on the matter one thing i found annoying with the sonys i had, was the latency.. i guess thats an issue with bluetooth tho and not sony per se. how is the current gen of bluetooth fairing with delay? lets say you play a game on your phone, sometimes i play hearthstone on the go and it was a bit annoying to hear the sound nearly 1sec later than the visual.

New track looking for feedback :)
astralprojection replied to sinistro's topic in Free Music Promotion
very nice, very clean sounds without sounding too artificial. release ready for sure. only minor thing is maybe turn down volume just ever so slightly on the bass. -
tws seem like a fun (but expensive) hobby. but if you had to chose 1 pair, which would be the very best? no matter the price.
-
lol fair enough granpa. but honestly you could do much better than those hd280 pro, you have a whole world of headphones to chose from, no need for any parallell imports. akg k812, focal spirit, at r70x or beyer dt 1990 pro just to name a few.. and if you like sennheiser than a vintage HD540 is just amazin
-
WF-1000XM3 is what i used for a while and thought they were pretty good. but i had it on loan from a friend and returned them after we became incommunicado. no matter, still have the sennheiser IE-8. but with phones no longer having 3.5 i have to use a freaking dongle with built in dac. btw to the senior above maybe you should think about upgrading those ancient plasticy crappy things to something you can actually enjoy.. its your golden years isnt it? you deserve some proper cans while you enjoy that whiskey after your great grand kids finally left the house and took that bloody dog with them

Astral Projection new album
astralprojection replied to GOA Collection SOLD's topic in General Psytrance
Reminds me too much of 2010s Electric Universe. Which i guess is either a bad thing or a good thing depending on who you ask :p I dont hear much of either AP or Oforia here, and that is kind of interesting. Maybe they could become a group and make brand new music like this, that doesnt sound like either of them. But for the next Astral album, I hope its more in line with the astral sound than this. I rate this 3.8 bitcrushers out of 5
