  1. thats me IRL too. exactly like that. but online, i usually try to be the exact opposite persona of my IRL persona. should you meet me IRL , you wouldnt believe I am me. Seeing as I am the quiet one, only saying things that matter to me and the conversation, not talking out my arse like im doing here, not just bla bla bla:ing. I think im quite like you, IRL. But on here, and basically on the internet in general, I try to be the exact opposite. Well, almost, anyway.
  2. kinda wierd thread but im into it. but there is no point to it because one could probably make all of these sounds using something like Zebra, Sylenth or Alchemy alone. Those three being really different from eachother, but still could produce the same results. Alchemy is old now btw, I dont think it even officially exists anymore (i.e you cannot buy it) but it was one hell of a synth. Amazing actually. the best sample based synth ive came across, way better than for example Omnisphere, or NI Massive or a bunch of other multi-gigabyte synths. Sylenth1, which is amazingly small, is my favorite synth without a doubt. I cannot understand how something so small can sound so big. Vanguard is also a really good one but unfortunately, I have NO idea how to work it. I mean really, no idea. Reasons Subtractor - is for me perfectly logical, but Vanguard seems to be a samplebased synth - but its not, but I have NO idea how to actually use it, and it is very very hard (at least for me) to get into, unfortunately. But lucky for me, there are millions of presets to download for free so Im cool with that But I do like to create a sound from scratch, and the best luck Ive had with that is actually with the Reasons Subtractor. I dunno, it just makes sense to me. Sylenth1 is also something I really have no clue how it works. It is sample based? no its not... but How do you create a sound with it? How can a preset sound like a kick, and another preset sound like the Blade 303 loop? Obviously I somewhat know the answers to these questions already but it it still amazing how Vanguard and Sylenth1 can be so extremely versatile, and I dont have a freaking clue how to make a sound from scratch with them. Alchemy was wonderful because it was sample based. You had your sample, and you could tweak it into oblivion if you so chose. Also, The FM8 synth, is a cool piece of software. Really really reminds me of reasons subtractor and also makes alot of sense. When creating sounds from scratch, that is. Another sample based synth who I wouldnt even classify as a synth is Omnisphere and Atmosphere, but Atmosphere is redundant now i think and has been replaces with Omnisphere. I have NO clue how that works. I know its sample based because of the huuge gigabyte patches, but i also know it has waveforms that you can create sounds with from scratch. So it is a sampler? Is it a synth? The whole VSTi market is so consfusing for me, and daunting, which really keeps me using just basically Subtractor, Sylenth1 and Vanguard. Even if I cant understand how Sylenth1 and Vanguard works, I at least can wrap my mind around them, and there are so many thousands of presets and its quite easy to tweak each preset to your liking so that way they are great. But yeah, the whole VSTi market, is like, quantum mechanics to me. and I use them almost 3-4 times a week over 13 years now! and the only piece of equipment I really know how it works, is Reasons Subtractor. everything inside that synth makes sense, every knob makes sense, and every result makes sense. Yes it is extremely limited so you cant use it for very much, but at least I understand it.
  3. yeah now that i think about it, its too wierd for it to be a coincidence. Besides. I smoked my arse off from the years 1999-2005. So ive definately had my fair share of the 4:20. Aaanyway, psynews is dead because people are being to quiet, to modest, to held back, to boring. Give me 10 radis and Ill be happy. Well, maybe not.. but at least I wish people would logon more often, write more. even if its just nonsense (you can take a look at my posts to learn how to write alot of bullshit without actually saying anything but at least it gives the site some heartrate) Just saying stuff when "needed" or being quiet just cause you dont think you dont got anything intelligent to say... well.. screw that.. lets make it a way more interactive forum.. But I guess it is what it is, A, you cant force people to write, B, you cant force people to respond, C, you cant make people reply to their replies... For example... Ive written replies to many threads, that still are awaiting replies. But doesnt get it. I dunno why, really, but there are many threads like that. Someone asks a question, or someone post something on the topic, and then thread just.. kinda.. gets forgotten? The latest thread this happened in, which I thought was a very interesting thread was "Where did you here this before" or whatever it was called. Its on the first page of the General Psytrance section. Well, that thread is an interersting topic, how come people dont want to continue posting there? Guess it all just boils down to people are people, people lose interest, and its a shame, since goatrance is overall, really a very very small nische of music, considering we are about 9 bil people on earth atm, i think perhaps 1 or 2 million people love goatrance. And this is frankly the only forum I know, that is active. And of those 2 mil people, perhaps 1 mil uses internet for social activities, and perhaps half that uses psynews as their main source of discussion. So we should be at least 500k people here, and that is a large number, and the site should really be very very very active, I think. But I could be way off, and I could be just daydreaming right now, but I think its a little sad, and a little "sigh.. what are ya gonna do" kinda situation. People are people. bui many of us, as with all nisches, have alot in common, but we may not even realise it.. im not just talking about the music but the off topic section for example. why isnt that more active. That should be the most active forum I reckon. I dont know. Alll I know is sometimes people here who do try to make the forum active, but fail, for example, me, and radi, just most of the time get kinda rediculed, and just the other week, i end my "rant" by saying "im gonna shut up now" and got the response "thank you" . That doesnt promote active discussion, it actually promotes people to shut up. So whats the point.. accept people for who they are, just be happy someone is at least talking, even if they (me) are just sometimes talking out their butt and nothing really sensical is coming out - at least its something, and i dont think whatever being said or in which way it is being said should be met with stuff like "thanks", when ending a rant with "sorry im gonna shut up now". again, this is also just a random rant, a random thought process, doesnt mean anything, im just thinking out loud.. and even if people hate people like me.. I dunno, what im trying to say is i guess, I have no clue. figure it out yourselves. ive said enough so that most people would understand without me having to get to the point. there isnt even a point. its all just random. but one point i do have, at least give replies to threads that have active things going on, like "where did i hear this before" or " rate the track above me" even if the latter is kinda boring sometimes, its still one of the most popular threads on here.. also i think we should have alot more competitions but smaller ones and not something that necesseralliry going to have to be released. just have a mod start a competition saying something like "hi folks, in this competition i would like you to make 160 bpm Acid Trance tracks. The Voting will start in one month. The Winner will get a t-shirt." or whatever. just small things like that to engage the community. hell, even asking for donations thru paypal and BTC would get you the money for the t-shirt, just using that as an example. there is alot of things the mods on this site could do to make it more active and INTERactive. like weekly competitions, monhtly ones, whatever.. now im gonna end my rant by saying if youve read this far and youve read all of it, damn, thats awesome thanks.
  4. oh, was this just about physical IRL death? then nevermind.
  5. im not sorry, just sorry it came out like that, was my bad. could have said 4:21 instead, i honestly didnt even think about it.
  6. yes, i mistyped. when using the 24 hour format you dont have to write pm or am. so it was just a misstype. i adjuseted it. and no, unfortunately it wasnt a 4:20 joke either cus i dont smoke. sry. edit: btw, im speaking from the grave atm, cus this site died just now, so... this isnt even a real post... just something beyond the physical that I managed to add, to correct your incorrect ... uhm..whathaveyou.
  7. time of death: 2015-09-17 (my 33 year b-day) at 16:20 CET (UTC+2H) or 10:25 EDT (UTC-4H) rip Peace
  8. clear!!! zap... clear!!!! zap... nope.. no pulse.. doctor, time of death?
  9. cool bro, but i still think most people didnt like him.. considering the amount of actual bullying the guy got from for example richpa and imba - alhough i know they never meant it hurtfully, just jokes - but i think radi got hurt anyway. like i said, been lurking on psynews since i dunno 2003 actually , on and off , here and there. i also suspect he has various defence mechanisms one beeing "i dont care" another being " that was funny". things like that. but hey, im not psycho-analyst, just a human-analyst
  10. Thats what Im afraid of. Since I happen to know for a fact he is really sensitive and I think a sad and lonely guy, who just comes off as jerky and what not, when he really isnt... probably 80% of psynews :/
  11. Hi mr Draeke you hero, you! Well, Considering ALL their avaliable material, even though most of it is really really good, its not legendary enough, except about 10 tracks, and that's just my honest opnion. But even though I have this kinda "top 10" I rarely listen to them anymore, cause of the fact that Ive simply replayed them so insanely many times, I usually go for tracks like ciberland (I liked that spelling ), or party droid, or microdrive, or other tracks I dont consider "legendary" cause they are refreshing, cause I think ive reached my limit on how many times I can listen to Time Dilation, Zeta Reticuli (Lazy spiral remix) or Antidote (Pl. Remix), for example And yes, I usually dont put Etnica and Pleiadians as seperate projects. CC though, I try my best to seperate, cause of Lotus Omega. Regarding Lunar Civilisation, it is definately in that top 10, the original mix that is, there is no denying it. I just dont listen to it anymore beacause when it came out, in my city, it was EVERYWHERE, all djs played it, It came out on at least two compilaions, all the parties in the forest played it (same symtom with Shakta - Lepton Heada (Deedrah Remix). So now I tend to listen to other tracks instead which most would get 8 or 9/10 scores. Btw, would you like to see my etnica/pl/cc top 10-12 list? Those 10 out of 10 wonders of magical sound engineering.
  12. Agreed. Lunar Civilization is their (CCs, not all projects) best track its hard to deny that fact. But its not the track i listen to, when I go to listen to CC. Because Ive heard so many million times at parties and 'raves'. Antonomasia, Full Mental Jackpot (Pleiadians remix) and Pentagon gets more plays, but tbh I havent listened to them for years now. And when I say "listen to them" I mean press play on CD and let it play. peace
  13. I think most people will react with "wows" and "omg's" etc. But of course there will be some 'haters' who cannot accept change and must have that vinyl version of the original, or it doesnt sound real. You know the type. But the Review thread of this triple-cd album, Im guessing, will reach the 10 page mark within 48 hours once someone starts it. I hope Trance2MoveU starts it. Because if he comes in late in a thread, it just dont feel right. In fact, Tracne2MoveU; create the thread allready. And just post "TAKEN" in the mean time. Im sure most mods will allow it : ) That said, I of course look forward reading ALL reviews, including my own, but It just feels right if T2MU is the one starting the thread.
  14. Damn. Looks like its gonna be a real nice looking VA allready, just knowing who is submitting tracks. I however, will refuse to listen to any of them, until voting starts
  15. He also has a wife and child. Or okay, tbh I dont know about the wife part, maybe they seperated.
  16. hmm.. that whole track seems influenced by yahel. bizarre contact? starting at 6,30ish. btw, one of my favourite nova tracks. so beautiful. also bizarre contact is probably my fav yahel track too depending on mood.. or its probably Liquid paradise by yahel and eyal at around 02.40 and forward yeah. thats it. also one of my favs. feels like a mix between the two
  17. I know, didnt wanna mention his name really. But yeah, I.Ms first three albums are really good, Converting Vegetarians has SOME great tracks like for example Song Pong which is really cool. But what hurts me the most, if you search youtube, "top 20 Infected Mushroom songs" or something like that, only stuff from their latest albums comes up (at least most of the results) and they get 1m+ views, and 99% likes, and people have no single idea what Psycho is, Mushi Mushi, and Nothing Comes Easy, just to mention some of the random tracks of a bunch of wonderful Psy classics. Btw, Nothing Comes Easy is one of those underrated classics, which many people seem to miss. Its an incredible track with an amazing Climax. check it. Peace
  18. 4/10 on In Dream? woooot aight, eveyrone has their own taste but now im done playing this game, peace out!
  19. I miss Radi too. Anyway, no its not dying. not anymore. Im here with some seriously needed CPR. Boom shankar.
  20. its not fullon but, close enough I guess. Progressive should be ok too, i reckon, for this thread. But it has nothing on the original!
  21. Wizzy Noise - Timeline (Vibrasphere Remix) (I also like the BPC remix but this is way better imho) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQ6nelEr0DA
