    I know this topic is super sensible and I was myself sensible when someone told me veganism is not good... I became a vegertarian and later even went in the vegan direction also.. went "not so good" to say it mildly(in the first 2 or so years yeahh, but do this better only 3-4 months!) - but I do not want to tell my horror life story re. to this. Here 2 ladies, listen to them:

     


    Of course be aware, drinking too much milk, eating too much meat, eggs and cheap fats is also wrong. Find a balance, once a week meat is better than no meat and even better if not industrial foods, but just watch the vids.

    That's purely anecdotal; the lowest quality on the hierarchy of evidence.

    Not vegan, yet. A lot of effort involved in making vegan diet work. Eating vegan doesn't automatically imply eating healthy. I struggle a lot with finding mostly animal product specifics (if not specific to, then very scarce among vegan-friendly products) most notably cobalamin and taurine to name some. I would need to hire a personal trainer to get a proper vegan diet going, but I already know which mixed diets work for me, so it's an easy choice. Besides, there're only 24 hours in a day.

    "A lot of effort involved in making vegan diet work." It seems more difficult than it actually is to be honest. Eat a balanced, whole food diet, take your B12 vitamin, make sure you meet your daily caloric requirements and you're good to go. 

    "Eating vegan doesn't automatically imply eating healthy." The same can be said of an omnivorous diet. 

    "I struggle a lot with finding mostly animal product specifics (if not specific to, then very scarce among vegan-friendly products) most notably cobalamin and taurine to name some."
    Technically speaking, cobalamin (B12) comes from bacteria, not animals. As such, it can be found in soil, water and some aquatic plants. Having said that, I don't see an issue with taking one B12 tablet once a week. It's also worth noting that 85% of the B12 production goes to farm animals. We are supplemented, whether we like it or not. Taurine, on the other hand, is not an essential amino acid. Nevertheless, it's widely available in synthetic form (vegan friendly) in most energy drinks. 

    "I would need to hire a personal trainer to get a proper vegan diet going". If you're really concerned about your dietery reference intake, I highly recommend cronometer, it works wonder. 

    I can easily be reached on discord. Let me know if you ever feel like exploring/debate this topic any further or if you have questions with respect to the core tenet of veganism. Have a good one.

    Very well presented. He makes good arguments against animal abuse. Unfortunately, that is his focus. Not giving arguments in favor of being vegan, but giving arguments against animal abuse. These are not equivalent (during the Q&A he somewhat says these are equivalent from a purely ethical point of view). He goes a bit crazy around 14 min mark when he says "all you have to do to end all of this is to eat something else". I guess he's playing to the crowd.

    A slight pet peeve. Whenever he claims something grandiose he supports it by "I think we all agree with so and so". He does this several times. I also think we all are against animal abuse. It's not relevant to support for veganism, because it is implicitly assumed that "cruel factory farming" is the only way to conduct it. It isn't. To his credit, he also knows he is exploiting this pattern and admits it freely during the Q&A.

     

    "Not giving arguments in favor of being vegan, but giving arguments against animal abuse." It's entailed. Veganism, at its core, is an ethical principal against needless exploitation, suffering and harm inflicted on non-human animals. 

    "I think we all agree with so and so" That's rhetorical yes - that doesn't invalidate his arguments in and of themselves. 

    "I also think we all are against animal abuse." Of course we're not, don't be silly. Each day, we pay for animals to but stabbed in the throat for palate pleasure. The notion that "cruelty" is a factory farm exclusive is just naive. It is not the case. 

    One question, are you vegan? If not, why not?

    I used to reach it when I had just woken up and in my near slumbered state thrown some earphones in, I would generally end up getting sent through galaxies and lucid dreaming things like flying and space orgies ;). This doesn't happen anymore, I've either grown to familiar with the styles structure or lost some part of my younger self that could do that.

    Some songs still trip me out and fill me with euphoria, so Yes I would say psy certainly produces altered states of consciousness.   

    Not sure I would categorize euphoria as an altered state of consciousness though. Funny story nonetheless.

    it's not called psychedelic trance for nothing. if you put on for instance braincell -  there is more on this world or pleiadians - maia (there are many more but personally i've found these two to work easiest) on headphones and close your eyes and you are still aware of the real world by the end of the track you haven't been focused on listening.

    I must be doing it wrong then ;-)

    After many feedbacks about "too much bass in mastering" of our new release, we made a little upgrade. Its not big different, but we fixed some important things.

    Listen: https://globalsect.bandcamp.com/album/katedra-we-are-not-alone 

    But, let us introduce you to some things about our job. For this album, we made not only mastering but mixing too.

    Mastering - it's when the music maker sends to sound engineer the WAV file -6db, no limiter etc. And he tries to make it maximum ideal.

    Mixing - it's when the music maker sends to sound engineer all the elements of the track (kick, bass, leads, fxs etc.) and he makes better EQ balance. And after this mastering.  

    Here's the list of the tracks with mixing by Dimitro Alienapia (One Day Mastering Studio), and we think he is the big professional:

    1. Psy-H Project - Exhalation of Mahavishnu
    2. Psy-H Project – Spiritual Experience
    3. Psy-H Project - In A Shade Of Dadrrount'got
    4. Psy-H Project - Second Coming
    5. Psy-H Project - Boloto Trip
    6. Psy-H Project - Infernal Candyflip
    7. Psy-H Project - Active Meditation
    8. Psy-H Project - Chatlane
    9. Psy-H Project vs. Alienapia - Ramayana
    10. Psy-H Project - Infinite Freedom
    11. Psy-H Project - Crystal Worlds
    12. Centavra Project - Capsula
    13. Imba & Somnesia - Astral Travellers
    14. Psy-H Project - Dark Matter
    15. Celestial Intelligence - Crystal Gazer
    16. Psy-H Project - Precession Of The Universe
    17. Nova Fractal & OXI & E-Mantra - Stargate
    18. Centavra Project - Terraformer
    19. Centavra Project - Strange Object
    20. Psy-H Project - The Essence of Bhagavat-Gita
    21. Atlantis - Sacred Mantra
    22. Fiery Dawn - Searching For UFOs (Median Project Rmx)
    23. Omneon - Indian Walk
    24. Median Project - The Third Element
    25. Raving Universe - Ascension
    26. Psy-H Project – Gaura Nitay
    27. Centavra Project - Journey To Another Worlds (Mix 2017)
    28. Atlantis - Space Mantra 29.
    Slow Reflections - In a Rain Drop
    30. Median Project - Heaven and Earth (Omneon rmx)
    31. Katedra - The MoonShip (mix 2019)
    32. Katedra - First Contact
    33. Katedra - Ring of Fire
    34. Katedra - Nagual
    35. Katedra - You Are Not Alone
    36. Katedra - Alienated Hallucination
    37. Katedra - Radiointerference (mix 2019)
    38. Katedra - The Edge Of Spaces

    So, like you can see it's a serious amount of job, and it's the one of main reason why people think that Global Sect music has nice quality. Sometimes we have mistakes because it's a very hard job, but anyway, we fixed and saved many tracks.

    For Katedra we were making mixing for 3 months, but we made a little mistake in the last step.

    Now, our plan is: All the people who bought digital versions can download the new version from the collection. All the people who bought CDs will get 2 versions. First, we will send copies with "bass" mastering and after that, we will reprint CDs and send new copies. We think it will be nice for the collection because in the world will be only 40 copies with the first version of mastering.

    P.S. my favorite track after fixed sound is Nagual :)

    Now that's dedication. Just bought the digital copy on BC and it's absolutely gorgeous. MAD respect for you guys.

    Between, any words on the synthwave va?
