Digital Psyence

Hi Visnu & welcome You need some better software to make serious sound (not to offend any fl-users). First, get logic, cubase or sonar or some similar advanced sequencer. then you need to get the vst-instruments that can fullfill your expectations in synthesis sampling or whatever you might want. I, myself, use cubase sx in rewire mode with reason. reason is also amazing software.

Hi Schallusion! I own a Novation ks4, and the sound is 100% similar to the V-stations. I have not had any problems like you describe, it just sounds great!

well, theres a lot of people selling the microQ 2ndhand & it isnt hard to find it, so go for monitors first.

is it still possible to buy a factory-new Micro-Q ?? if so then go for that, its an amazing synth

The new Alesis Fusion workstation synth Alesis Fusion The new Korg Oasys 2 Dont they look nice

Do you know something about scales? it will help you a lot, believe me!! Try to change a note fx in the end of every bar of the bass, & use some eq to give it some more boost

Waves or if you mean the melody of the bass, then youll just have to play

hi, what do you think of the bass i used in this project?? Listen

Hey, that was also what i meant

Yeah, that would help a bit

hi, okay mate, go to the mixer [F3] and find the vst that you want to effect, then klik on the little "e" there ya go, put effects on To help get a better overview, theres a button on the far left wich looks like a midi-plug, press it & midi-tracks will disappear from the mixer & you will only see your vst-outputs/tracks, wich you can do inserts on/effects thou can not put audio-effects on midi-data, but on audio tracks - you can Hope you understand

Heres about 1 minute of the track Listen

By the way, after listening closer to the main beat (drums, kick) it doesnt feel like it have enough "power" what do you think i should do? Could it be to low, to centered (panning), the choice of used samples or something 4th??

Well, if its the lead youre talking about i just tweaked the filterfreq on my novation ks4, it has a very clear sound as it is. its updated once again now, and i have added another lead, made with V-station, check it out & tell what u think about it Listen

Hi Mike/Reflector, & welcome !! For this track all drums & fx samples are found on the net - except the kick SoftSynths used: Bassline > Z3ta+, Fx-a-like sound: Absynth 2 Hardwaresynths: Lead > Novation ks4 (very similar to V-station VST) So the track is actually build up of completely nothing, but with loads of effects on The old & new versions of the track are unfortunately the same file, i lost the old one by a mistake

Hmmm....i checked it earlier, & it worked fine, but im at work now, so ill check it when i get home (7:30AM) btw, the tempo have been changed from 136 to 144bpm

The Track >> After beeing processed a bit

Hi, yes you were right about the kick, & it have been changed now, i will upload a new version right away so you can hear! The bassline is also different now, if its good or bad i dont know, but i have it the same way as you - i also get really frustrated about the sound of the bass

i'm sorry, i am not about to go all the sites through again, to find the sample, but off course you are welcome to look for yourself Btw, i think it is under one of the loop-links, but im not sure here's the links: MUSIC SAMPLES (loops etc.) http://web.iol.cz/mpc/sa/index.htm Sample Arena –BPM-labelled beats but you need to dig a bit. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/onemusicdata/samples/index.shtml BBC collection –quite good !

Hey, thanks man! The sample, it sounds nice but i have cut it up a bit. Where you can get it?? I like to share, but that sample is my sound you know Just kidding, i can give you a link collection, but i do not remeber wich site i found it on

yeah youre right, i'll just try & play around

hey good idea, thanks!! Only worries i have left now is if i can "lift" the rest of the beat the same way . It feels like everyone uses a lot of time & effets on hats, crashes & so on, but i cant seem to get my own to sound like i want them, any tips?

I have been working on this a couple of days ago & i was very happy with the result, but now it doesnt feel like the track contains the same energy as it had first, i hope you can give me some advises, i think its my bassline that migh be a liiiittle to low, but try & listen (its only a loop yet) The track

Oh!! I get it now, i thought you ment something like cut UP the tail , or i think i once did something similar a lot easier in protools, & i thought you were talking about something like that! Nice effect by the way!

Right now i just i got home from newyears-evening/night/next morning & my ears are really wasted after beeing at the local psy-club most of the night, but once i get in the cubase-mood again, i will surely check it out (the vb-1 bass using 10 band eq) Anyway, Happy new year to everyone, cheers from Denmark
