My Weird Takes on Goa and Acid Techno

[acid being]

I have moved my music into this thread as I am not on a label and the tracks can currently be freely downloaded from Soundcloud.

I like to make Goa and acid techno, preferably with bits of darkness and ambience and usually on the more experimental side. I am a new artist who is constantly learning and evolving.

The Gen Eris Device is my first complete Goa trance track. It has a space theme, hints of ambience and darkness and a few little surprises in the later stages of the track.

It is called Gen Eris as I was originally aiming for something a little closer to generic Goa trance than my earlier output but it ended up being very much of its own style, I think.

I finally found a bit of time to finish off my first acid techno track. It is heavily inspired by some of the hardest acid house tracks so a lot of the time there are only drums and two layers of 303, but I added more modern effects and a few other sounds to give it a more psychedelic feel which also makes it sound a little like some 90s IDM tracks. One kind listener even compared it to Infected Mushroom which was unbelievably flattering - this is certainly more simplistic than their stuff!

Check out my new Goa Trance track based on an Indian raga.

The Poorvi raga is 500 years old and now rarely performed. It has a mood of mystical contemplation.

This starts out as a 131 bpm midtempo track before rising to 145 bpm and finally returning to the slower tempo to complete the cycle.

Always fun to hear, lots of experience to get, but you are on the right track keep going

Thanks. There are certainly things I would improve but I had spent far too long on this one, so onto the next. I love it up to 1:42, then the second synth pattern sounds a little harsh don't you think? Then from about 1:58 to about 3:20 it's just deliberately weird and experimental - maybe too weird or maybe not weird enough? Anyone else got any feedback please?

I threw together an acid breakbeat track because humans have broken the world.

I think you forgot to mention the track names that you are referring the time to, if you want to sound clearer you have to use software that sound clearer, this days all the DAW's achieve a good sound quality, but you need to choose good synths that sound clean and even there you have to tweak the synth to achieve a quality sound for the bass for example then at least you have to use sidechaining compression between the kick and the bass, use a decent delay with ping pong effect and lower the reverb effect, use the delay and reverb as a send effect to save time and the computer resources if you use samples use ones with good quality, everything you use have to sound clean to achieve a overall clean sounding use an equalizer in the master bus to cut every frequencies below 30 hz with a low shelf, use one compressor to work as a glue compressor to work like a glue to all the track elements below the equalizer in master bus as well, I find you tracks pretty creative and experimental you are on a good track, you just need to gain experience in getting more sound quality, and structure, if you follow some more regular structures you will start getting more people who will say that like your sounds, but you don't want go commercial keep searching and exploring in your own way, until people will start to enjoy you own style.
