  1. Now that I think about it, it may have been beatport, and not Bandcamp. But the rest remains the same.
  2. Okay. I suppose they changed that then? This happened in 2020 I believe so it's more than possible they've changed the way they do things since then.
  3. Couldn't you revert back to where it said "Astralprojection and 5 others liked this" for example. That was a good system. Iirc it went away same time the "user level" went away. Spiraling vortex and all that stuff. Even though it was meaningless I kinda miss that
  4. What I mean is, they'd have very lossy versions that you can listen to for free. And when you buy the album you get the lossless version. The logic being that if it sounds too good for free, people won't buy the lossless version. Which ofc is very faulty logic but yes, that's what the label told the artist to do. Iiirc he wanted 96k bitrate mp3s for Bandcamp, and then lossless flac for when you buy it, also from Bandcamp ofc. Hope it's clearer now Anyway, I've seen that quite a few times, that the sound quality of the free streaming versions are very poor
  5. Noone remembers this album. Sadly.
  6. Why are there so many versions of this.. It's confusing. But there's only one real version IMHO. Doof - youth of the galaxy vinyl version 07:23 Doof - youth of the galaxy final demand mix 08:00 Doof - youth of the galaxy 06:47 Doof - yoof of the galaxy 08:27
  7. It's kinda hilarious to read these old reviews from the early 2000s. It's sometimes unfathomable. Anyway, Leo is clearly the best track off of this album ^^ Kansur is nice but it's very cheesy. Leo is the only track without a side order of double cheese and bacon
  8. X dream - zebra Delta - as a child.. C.o.p - fairy in the dragon forest X dream - our own happiness X dream - radio X dream - thorazine
  9. IMHO yes. Mostly it is 128kbit mp3 quality, cause the artist or label want people to buy the "full quality" and have really bad quality for the streams. Poor decision imo. Also illogical. One album I mastered for a person, said the label asked him to get low quality masters for band camp, just to have people buy the high quality versions. I did not comply to that and I explained to the artist how I thought it didn't make sense.. Better it sounds great at first listen, then the listener is much more inclined to buy, rather than it sounds like crap at bandcamp. Also, I'm not sure what kind of bitrate bandcamp uses. I know soundcloud uses pretty damn lossy compression for free users. (128kbit iirc) which makes the hihats and high end generally sound poor.
  10. currently i use foobar2000 cause it has excellent asio support in case i want to listen thru the audio interface with bit-perfect playback and all that jazz. but if i wanna listen to lets say 6 folders of music, and put it all to repeat, same track can come again and again. which is really annoying. if a track is played, i want that track to be flagged to not play again in that session. to my knowledge Winamp did just that.. i guess i should go back to winamp? oh, and also in foobar2000, if you hit forward, the next random track plays which is expected, but if you hit Back - it just stops. so clearly its not made to listen to folders of music. Any tips? edit: im sorry, i dont mean repeat i mean RANDOM
  11. final product sounds really good! even on bandcamp. coverart is great, it has that 12bit flair to it
  12. ... and my apologies to @DoktorG it was kinda uncalled for to have such a reaction. my bad. hope you can forgive me 😃 yes its frustrating to not be able to listen to the album then and there but still, overreaction. Pz!
  13. sounds nice! now all you need to do is export each channel as a seperate stem, mix and master it, and it would sound great! i recommend OpenMPT, it can open any tracker file, and quickly export each channel to WAVs. 🤩 https://openmpt.org/
  14. its always fun to bump a 10+ year old thread and i wish more people did it sadly it sounds distorted as hell and i couldnt find a good sounding youtube. but i have this on cd somewhere and ill try to reupload it with better quality, its a damn good tune edit: just checked the original, sadly its distorted to death also. time to PM the artist
  15. Sadly always in the shadow of artifact303. (because of the obvious similarities) But this is a great album one of the better albums in the neo goa genre.
  16. oh man, do i know what you mean 😃 😅
  17. Another one that just triggers me in all the best ways has to be Human Blue - Therpischore which is kind of the antithesis to the previous track from filteria. That's enough from me look forward to see what you bring
  18. They gel perfectly. They invoke dancing. They build the track. They promote emotion. They are the essentials of goatrance. Without them there would just be melodies. And they speak different language to different people. I'll start with one of my very favorites although there are many, it's Filteria - Wormhole. The bassline is barely there yet hits all the right frequencies. Kick is not much more than a click but again hits the lows just amazingly. What is your favourite knb??
  19. I think many of them are real people. At least, I hope they are.. Would be kind of sad if they're just bots and Internet crawlers.. 😔 Hehe well I'm just mucking about 😋
  20. well i mean at least he advertised it to the whole internet. and theres tons of people who visit psynews, just check out the "online users" tab. youd be amazed! sadly only a few people actually login. but most days theres like 10 pages full of people who browse. which is awesome. hey you! login! contribute!
  21. more artifacts! probably the best track off of that album. perfectly sweet new goatrance.
  22. yes youre absolutely right, mods feel free to clean the thread ofc.
