    I like some sounds and some melodies in both these pieces but both are far from sounding like finished tracks tbh. You should work more on the track structure and on the mixing, try adding add more percussion elements, learn how to get the bass right. It is nearly impossible to learn how to make good psy in 6 months, 6 years is far more realistic figure

    Nice track, I like it but I think it would benefit from more sonic "dimensions" - like pads, background atmospheres, maybe a bit more sonic experimentation in the leads and the effects. Also some of the transitions are too abrupt - like at 3:45 - one melody suddenly ends, another one suddenly starts, you could have something more interesting here.

    It surely helps, even if you don't write melodies in the traditional sence for your music, when you progam sounds in software synths or sound modules it is much easier when you can play them on a keyboard, you can make velocity assigments and immediately hear how the sound responds to the velocity, or you can play your sound in different octaves. Nice track you posted
  4. recursion loop
    Planning to do so.

    Few metro stations from my home and 30 minute walk from my office, great

    Really good track, i love this kind of psy - melodious and euphoric, lots of great sounds and melodies you have here. A couple of notes: - the pads in the intro/breakdown are kinda static and sound boring, try modulating the sound somehow, maybe add a phaser or modulate something with an LFO. - the overall mix balance is somehow wrong, I'm listening on bad speakers now but I can tell that the high frequencies are way too harsh and noisy (especially that supersaw lead) while the midrange seems to be almost absent, the mix sounds thin. But all in all, really nice track, followed you on SC.

    I have that Caustic app installed on my office PC, I've made a two minute goa sketch in it But it is way too limited, making complete tracks with proper stucture and decent quality in it would require much more patience than doing this with a normal DAW and plugins, I truly admire that guy you linked.
  8. recursion loop
    Exactly the same here except that I only have two of them. Maybe we need a thread "what is the best software to make psytrance if you only have a half an hour per day when you are tired and wasted" Btw, in this scenario software really helps because of its immediacy, as much as I'm loving my Access Virus i think I'll move to software. But don't lay it away, chances are that when you get retired you'll just have no more passion for music.
  9. recursion loop
    Yes, that's pretty much it. I really want to break away from my amateurish mindset and finally make something worth releasing on a decent label but when I try to be serious abot my music all the fun goes away.

    del
  11. recursion loop
    Yeah, I have and that's a kind of problem

    The new software synth Rapid by Parawave is really good for psytrance. I comes loaded with all kinds of EDM/trap/pop presets but making trippy psy sounds in it is pretty easy. Ths basic character of the synth really reminds me of Access Virus, fat and edgy. This is a short psytrance demo I've made with this synth, almost no external processing except for reverb/delay and very basic equalization, all sounds are basic psytrance patches which I've made from the init preset. https://soundcloud.com/recursion-loop/parawave-rapid-psytrance-demo If anything, I'm not associated with the developer anyhow, just really like the synth.

    Ephedrix. It seems that he still does some DJing but no new music in the last few years.
  14. recursion loop
    At first few listens I also thought that it is missing something but it doesn't. Maybe there are less peak moments than in Digicult or Ephedrix albums released in 2008-2009 but it creates very strong futuristic and trancey atmosphere neither overly euphoric nor too dark, just the right spot. Unfortunately everything Aquila released after this album was much weaker.
  15. recursion loop
    One of the albums to which I'm returning almost every week. It is not as detailed and deep as their 2012 and 2015 albums, some parts are way too trancey even for me, some parts are too simplistic and the movie samples are brutally overused but the whole thing has got the right vibe. Timeless classic for me. "This place ... is different"

    Safi Connection's album is so bad that it is even good. Bad production, horrible singing, stupid melodies altogether create some weird cyberpunk atmosphere. This one is just bad, no excuses.
  17. recursion loop
    Googled Redgloam and quite liked what I've heard on Bandcamp, really nice downtempo stuff.
  18. recursion loop
    Well, basically the same Tristan/Laughing Buddha/Nano-style full-on, but this time with some more interesting sounds and melodies here and there. Nothing groundbreaking but well executed, groovy and trippy. Tracks 5-8 are forgettable but the rest of the album is pretty decent
  19. recursion loop
    I think 140 bpm is kind of "breaking point" above which psytrance starts to sound "running/rushing" and below it it sounds more "groovy/evolving". Also I believe progressive psytrance (Sideform, Relativ, E-Clip) and progressive trance (Vibrasphere, Atmos, Perfect Stranger) are two different subgenres, the latter is typically slower.
  20. recursion loop
    I think it's prog (everything around 140 bpm and below is called prog today) I listened to random parts of some of the tracks at SC but what I've heard sounds boring as fuck
  21. recursion loop
    Thanks for the link! But I have the exactly opposite problem - for me it's relatively easy to write a full track haivng an intro, build up, climax and stuff but polishing the sounds and the mix, making a proper bass, compressing and equalizing things is a disaster. I have more or less passable understanding of the techncial side of things but when working on a tune I quickly lose the judgement on what sounds good and what sounds bad. Saving song templates and short synth loops somehow helps

    Listening from the youtube right now. Strange impression, seems that the chord changes are borrowed from Russian pop and even some Soviet movie music. I guess even if I didn't know where that guy is from I'd spot these very familiar harmonies. So, that's goa made by Russians for Russians Overall I like it much more than average new school goa, even despite some synths sound cheap and the mixing is not quite right at times, the whole thing is very dreamy, atmospheric and emotional.

    Good for them, while amateurs like me are beating dead horses all over the internet with that "analogue vs plugins" debate, the masters use whatever they have in their possession to make killer stuff
  24. recursion loop
    100% analog stuff, not software, you say? I spotted Sylenth, Nexus and Tal Bassline 101 plugins in that vid, lol. Not that there's something wrong with that, ofc
  25. recursion loop
    Yeah, Delerium is awesome, except for their latest output when they basically turned into a generic pop project https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gh_so2itacI And a pop song by them (but a great one)
