yeah i thought it already came out. and i wasnt very ecstatic over it quite honestly. same with the dimension 5 and etnica/pleiadians re-releases. etnica/pleiadians are different though, and i was ecstatic for very different reasons than just musically.

the fact that you use software makes me even more impressed. that new one was wonderful too! alot of aes dana influence in the bassline, and i like it alot! also love the way you mix your percussions to sound like they are from a 808 and 909. it is indeed obvious that you didnt just start making music yesterday. really refreshing sound and ive never heard anything sound like this before, that fact alone is big enough to spark interest - but the fact that you are incredibly talented and should have a record deal makes it over the top. im just a bit angry at psynews for not appreciating this as i am 1:31 is a complete winner though. Just wow! definetely suitable for a release and a full lenght album in this style man. pursue it cause you will get it!

didnt that already came out remastered? or am i confusing it with another release in any way, look forward to hearing new and unreleased stuff from ux and hopefully Slide too Alien hitmen is still one of those really good old school tracks.

most definetely he is. Im still in awe from the first tech trance mix he posted. its amazing and hard hitting.

thats not my scientifc opinion though, thats just my belief. and it seems perfectly logical due to the fact that just before death- in many scenarios- the body and the brain will release massive amounts of dopamine and the brains naturally occuring opioid- to signal a calm and easier death. This happens for example just before someone freezes to death, dehydrates/malnourishes to death, and is reported to happen before strangulation aswell - whether it be due to suffocating from drowning or otherwise. Of course, rapid onset death such as slug to the head from a gun, would logically not cause any of these symtoms.

No, pre-death. JUST JUST pre-death. The very milliseconds.

people who died and came back have alot to say though. but i think the moments after natural death, i.e heart stopping, oxygen cut off, etc, and not shot in the head by a gun or something - the pineal gland releases DMT which cause you to hallucinate.

yup, that happens with a dj that has his shit together. its a trip! tracks are brand new, if a dj is a good dj.

omg finally and what an amazing piece of artwork!! yes, same glow on the font as always, and a cheesy PS lens flare but its ok Wheel of time is one of the best goatrance tracks in the history of goatrance, and its quite a wonder for such a track to come out in the new school era. thank you nova fractal!

yes, ive since realised this. and thank god for that. i dont wanna imagine psynews without that limitation thanks for the suggestions i will put them in my "to check out" list/folder regarding vision driver, im happy you liked it. I strongly recommend you check out his other tracks as there are a few truly amazing and unique pieces of art. ill write them here as there is also quite a few "meh" in his arsenal. no order: and i knew in my heart and mind my sunset reprise sleepless the things we've seen tower of heaven united we stand vision driver the catch times like these peace

ive learned that rotwang has a very good taste in psytrance. i think though - most psytrance these days tend to be too much fullon, and "too crisp" sound 'quality'. When Access virus TI made an entrance, you could hear it, as many artitsts ran alot of mixing thru that synth, and its evident in many many tracks. These days I think there is a similar trend going around, although i cant pinpoint a culprit - but most psytrance sounds alike. goatrance is starting to go down that road too, but the nature of goatrance wont allow it to get TOO similar, though, which is nice. few genres are as complex as goatrance, and its just no way most goatrance will sound TOO similar. but psytrance and especially psytrance with the rolling 3 note one-note basslines - tend to sound extremely similar. Sometimes, even older psytrance and fullon from Talamasca and Electric Universe - can sound exactly the same. Compare the psytrance by MWNN from the epic and genious album Interstate Highway - with his latests sound. They are completely different as even MWNN has gone into the vortex of "too crisp" 'sound quality' and its no longer easily identified as MWNN. Same symptom that happened with the virus, then stopped happening for a while - then started happening again, and even a gangstar like MWNN with his latest stuff does it. it takes away the soul of the music - when the mixing is too perfect. luckily as said goatrance cant go into the same destiny as its too complex for it to sound perfect. and even when it does sound perfect, like artifact303 and nova fractal - its still unique enough cause few artists can even make it work. like literally, you can count them on one hand. psytrance and fullon especially - but even dark psytrance - just sounds way too similar these days. Psykovsky, for example, sounds very unique due to his amazing talent, even though his music is horrifying, cause its so real and "synaptic", he still has unique style in mixing, too, i mean Wishful Sinful is still amazing and i can never get bored of that one, but alot of forest and dark is currently stuck in this strange mixing vortex where everything just sounds too similar, just when virus TI was the hype. Ok, that was one of the most incoherent posts ive made yet. If anyone can make complete sense of it, congrats!

i get it now i think. but what are the mono cables used for? the xlr trs mono cable for example. I learned that it is not balanced but im wondering what its purpose is. possibly electric guitars and a small amp? it doesnt matter though and i know what cable to get now, and it also makes alot of sense what balanced actually is.

great, then i thank you for the new knowledge! my curiosity though, must ask, what if i used mono cables - balanced ones - if they even exist - would/could happen? and this is of course just for my own curiosity. and the followup would be - are there balanced XLR/TELE cables that is mono? microphones are usually mono arent they? so they are exclusively for microphones then, i assume, and not for connecting monitors to an interface. edit: i think i got it - so for a cable to be balanced , with xlr on one end, it would HAVE to be stereo or it couldnt be balanced?

i thought hot and cold was referring to which channel was the live one. well perhaps that is what you said But just to end it; you are positive that i should in fact use two stereo cables and not two mono cables? I just want an absolute, on that

for me, the album doesnt have big surprises - for me the big surprise is the masterfully produced sounds and leads. as a producer i enjoy that alot more than the actual music these days. Which is why i love astral so much, cause of their stellar skills in the actual mixing of the sounds. im fairly bored with this album already - but i still think it is the best production to come from suntrip yet. after that fact - i can more carefully dissect the actual music - and yeah, there is alot lacking in that regard.

yes that made perfect sense. I just didnt think that the fact that the cable was mono or stereo had anything to do with the cable being balansed or not.

yeah i buy that and all that technical stuff, but i guess i cant wrap around the fact that you should use a stereo cable on a mono source, when there are mono cables that would do the same thing. and for me mono means one channel, stereo means two, and i dont wanna use the word balanced or unbalanced as i dont fully understand what it means - other than the fact that it will either have the same impendance throughout- or not, and i didnt think it had anything to do with a cable being stereo or mono. i think im getting it though. and if so, i learned something brand new today and i thank you for it i would have never guessed to use a stereo cable for L, and another stereo cable for R. well, i might have used it but i would always think if it would cause issues, which of course led to my question in the first place. but just to put an end to the discussion and make a final saying in the matter : for both the left and the right outputs on my soundcard - and obviously then also for both inputs on the speakers - I should use a stereo cable for L and one for R - and NOT mono cables?

but im still not convinced. i dont doubt you or question you so dont get me wrong. im just trying to fully understand and make sure i am fully explaining myself correctly. But if the ouput is mono why would you want to use a stereo cable? Also, how can the other channel run in parallell if the input is mono? i think im understanding the concept but im still confused, which may or may not be my own doing But logic says, if the ouput is mono - then the cable should be mono. if the output is stereo then of course youd want a stereo cable. so to your logic, and again im being completely honest in my confusion: what "would happen" if i used a mono cable when you say a stereo cable is intended? edit: btw, i asked about a cable that was mono and it was a XLR - TELE cable and he said that cable was unbalanced, and im confused how a XLR cable can be unbalanced if you say they are not by defintion since its xlr. damn this is probably alot more confusing than it needs to be and i blame myself fully, of course.

"you criticise only your loved ones" damn. thats fucking wisdom right there. so true!

feint is like a god amongst men, its an absolute wonder how the kid is 21 years old or something like that - and still possess the maturity and wisdom to be able to create such depths. ill listen to your suggestions later! thanks!

yeah but, ok now im confused. lets forget the terminology for a moment, and look at the two options here. a stereo cable and a mono cable. The mono cable is intended as the output is mono. i.e there are two outputs. Not one - as for example on a pc motherboard sound interface or any and all laptops. Then - you should of course use a stereo cable if you want both channels. But in this case - where there is one output for left, and one for right - its intended to use two mono cables. using a stereo cable would be a "waste" so to speak, considering there is only one channel per output - and not two - like the aforementioned example. So would it be ok to use a stereo cable in that scenario, or would the extra unused channel on the cable - i.e the extra circle on the jack - cause issues.

considering the release of XCOM 2 - I would like to strongly recommend the openxcom project that has made playing the original UFO: Enemy Unknown a real pleasure. One of the absolute best games ever concieved! The father of turn based strategy. Still holds up today even in its dated DOS graphics. http://openxcom.org/

i guess im alone then - in the opinion of it not sounding like transwave. Just to be clear, im listening to the mix - and not the content. The mix usually tells the story. Also I cant judge if you were being sarcastic when you said "secret rare & unreleased goa group".. at least it sounds hilarious .

im sorry, i confused myself. the xlr on the speaker is ofc female. the cable is male. so using a stereo cable instead of a mono cable should be fine then? i.e two stereo cables - one for L and one for R. instead of two mono cables which is intended. the soundcard obviously has a L and R output both are balansed tele, female. just wondering, like i said if its ok to use a stereo cable instead of a mono cable.

Hi! The monitors have both XLR and TELE (6,3mm) inputs, both of which are balanced. The cable im looking at has a stereo tele jack, instead of a mono one. And im wondering wether or not its ok to use that cable even though its stereo. Considering its intended to use a mono cable for each speaker. Would using a stereo cable cause issues. Hope thats clearer
