Mycosis

Very nice, thanks for sharing! Btw mycosis means 1. infected by a fungus 2. the condition caused by the presence of such fungi. Mushrooms.

Nice job man, sounds great. I don't suppose you'd be willing to say how it was made? Like the pattern sequence that you used? Im curious how that was made as well.

Im very happy with a song... finally. At least part of it. I think its a great melody and I like the intro, but I am having a hard time transitioning from into to chorus.... right now I just have it go directly in heh. Basically only uploaded so I could get some advice/criticism. Download it here: http://www.ctel.net/~mcdfam/entity.mp3 or Check it out at: http://www.myspace.com/mycosismusic Thank you!

Nevermind i figured it out although definitly cant get it to sound useful

Is there a way to route a track through a vocoder that gets modulated by another track? I can't seem to figure it out I've tried everywhere and searched; came up empty handed.

So you literally just compared your music to crap . Thats about what I'm producing at the moment hah. Part of the fun of any hobby is learning to do it so I guess its really not so bad to suck. And as with anything, you can ALWAYS improve. Suppose I will feel better once I complete a whole track and am happy with it. I would be very interested to hear your old stuff although im sure by now the links are dead. The reason I asked about creative process was that originally I was trying to put together everything for a chorus instead of starting right at the beginning. The only good thing about this method is that you know if the drum samples are going to work with the rest of the track. I guess there is no "right" way to make trance. Whatever process it takes you to get there. Now I start right at the beginning and work my way from there.

Very good point. Many factors in how fast you learn any new skill. I just want to be pro now but thats just fantasy . If I have to wait 2 years to be any good, so be it. Music is music so it applies to all genres. Get good at making one genre and its much easier to try another.

Recreating tracks is definitly not easy. Trying to recreate Astral Projection - No One Ever Dreams. Will release when finished although it will be a while hehe.

Yes I noticed that this morning when I listened to my track again. Check the project and it was indeed set at 120bpm. I could have sworn I changed it to 145 at the very beginning when I started the project. I guess thats what I get for working at 2am in the morning and trying to spit out a track hehe.

Is there a better way to use drums in Cubase? I have been individually placing drums with audio clips as the build in drum sampler seems to not allow you to add your own wave files. Maybe theres a better drum sampler I can buy/thats freeware?

Thanks, I liked the second half more as well. I think all along I have been half assing the drums and just putting in a kick just to see how it would sound with the bass line. That doesn't tell much until you add in the rest of the drums which is what im going to do from now on. Will release the completed track once its finished, although I expect it will take while but thats music! Ride the Vibe.

Here it is... I think I could do better but I suppose its not bad for 2 hours of unexperienced work heh. Please make suggestions. Certainly not release quality, most release it because im getting tired now. http://www.ctel.net/~mcdfam/critiqueme.mp3

Will do just that, expect a track soon. Thank you for the advice!

I have been searching for a psytrance tutorial and I am at a loss. I have been doing TONS of reading for weeks now and practicing as much as I possibly can outside of work. I am still very frustrated as I haven't even come close to finishing my first track. To benefit myself and other people new to the scene, I was thinking maybe we could all collaborate and throw together a SIMPLE trance song from scratch that could be used as the basis of a tutorial from start to finish. I would be willing to create or make a web page and such for it if anyone could be willing to donate some musical input. I am pretty comfortable with my DAW of choice (cubase SX), and think this tutorial should be geared more towards the actual composition. So, to start, would anyone be willing to throw down a simple Drum beat and Bass Line preferably in Cubase format? Any thoughts or ideas on this subject?

Yep thats what I currently use to monitor my sound. Just a dolby digital receiver hooked to some bookshelf speakers. I wonder how monitors compare in quality to regular bookshelf speakers? I figured I could use headphones directly into the sound card because you can with other sound cards like my SB live, they must have a small amp. Guess I could just hook the headphones right into my receiver. Also wonder how much different it would makne getting an EMU 0404 or an M-AUDIO compared to the SB Audigy 2.
