    what's that? duvdev singing?

    i love those overly colourful cheesy cliché fractal covers

    a really good one that just slips under the radar most of the time:

    i've only ever met psynews members at festivals. balkan goa fanatics and connection festival.

    no oriental melodies, no rolling bassline, no triplets. is it still psytrance?

    have you listened to the akg k701? not that they would fit into this thread. they aren't portable at all and the bass is a bit too dry for pure "pleasure" listening. but for clarity and accuracy i haven't found anything that could compete (while still being reasonably priced).

    i'm now listening properly with monitors and don't find any inherent difference between the tracks concerning the synth-sound. still the first one you posted is my favourite, even though the bass sounds a bit over-hyped now with monitors. but that's probably because it imho has more interesting/unconventional patches than the other two

    let's phrase that a little differently: can your average psytrance producer differentiate quality sound wise between 320kbps mp3 and wav in his studio? my answer to that question is no. some might disagree, but even those would most likely fail to differentiate them in a double blind experiment. your average raver in a club (with much worse acoustics and a lot more background noise than in any studio) definitely won't notice.

    i like the synths from the top track more. is that the virus? the bottom one sounds more "flat", "software-ish" and not as exciting.

    not necessarily. he had tried the same thing with me before.

    this summarises it perfectly. when most of us talk about commercial psytrance we talk exactly about that soulless lowest-common-denominator music. it doesn't all all matter if it's produced for money. we know that cosmosis depends on income from his music. he does make music that appeals to the masses, but you immediately know that he puts effort and creativity in his music. he never said "fuck it, i'll just do the minimum to make it sell — no matter if it's actually good or not" that made me litterally lol. listening to electro sun is like eating a whole (100g) bar of chocolate when you're already overeaten. it's instantly satisfying, while making you sick at the same time. i regret it ever time, but every now and then i can't resist. *hums the melody of "out of your love"*

    i never want to be the cheap guy who puts in 0€. so if i don't want to pay the full price for a physical album, i wait patiently until it turns up as a torrent, which doesn't ask me how much i want to pay

    course not if you search for "happy hitech" on soundcloud you'll find much more such music than you thought was possible. apparently it's a thing now…
  17. Padmapani
    depends on your definition of amateur. one could say that all producers that produce as a hobby are amateurs as opposed to professionals, or that all producers who havan't released anything are amateurs but you're really looking for inexperienced producers, who cannot make a "professional" sounding track yet. i'd say the most common mistakes you'd hear there would be bad, unbalanced mixdowns, childish/"obvious" melodies, and out of tune notes (though the latter only seem to be a problem for producers who've never played an instrument or done any other music before).
  18. Padmapani
    definitely. but sadly i don't remember the artist. it was some kind of remix of a pop song. kinda like happy hardcore (the bad, ultra-cheesy kind of happy hardcore) but with a 180bpm "psy" beat underneath. edit: the closest thing i've found in my 2 minute search was this: it's horribly cheesy already. just listen to the part in the middle.
  19. Padmapani
    it seems there is a conspiracy to turn every kind of subgenre of electronic music into commercial sounding crap. there already is hitech that i can't stand because it's so extremely cheesy. now they try to take over zenonesque, which is also not an easy task, but imho not quite so unthinkable as with hitech.
  20. Padmapani
    i see what you did there the difference is that the other manage to create some atmosphere and tell a story (even if it's sometimes a boring one). vini vici is just the bare "formula for prog" without anything else. maybe what sets it apart is that their kick is extra-loud (and there are no other elements to distract from it)? but then again why don't those people just listen to some techno where the kick is even more in the foreground?
  21. Padmapani
    sadly, still many of those producing commercial "psy" music just take anything, slap a rolling bassline underneath and call it psytrance. vini vici aren't the first to do this (and neither was sesto sento), but i find their music completely dull with literally nothing interesting happening besides some kbbb. it's really strange when you catch yourself thinking "i'd rather listen to neelix than this crap" i cannot understand why they (or more accurately their remixes) are all over the internet. i get the impression that 50% of all track id requests (execpt those here on psynews) are for some shitty vini vici remix.
  22. Padmapani
    and it's even better than i would have guessed just by listening to the samples

    what's wrong about lazyness? being lazy is one of my best qualities no, really. being lazy makes you do things more efficiently, it gets you to think about new solutions that take less effort to all kinds of problems. it also forces you to get a deeper understanding of things; you can save a lot of work that way. imho lazyness — besides curiosity — is the main motor for progress.
  24. Padmapani
    ra probably. but i haven't got artha yet. astrix? now i can't take anything you said about ticon seriously
  25. Padmapani
    it's all 90s goa trance. i've never heard the last two, but i know i have heard the first one a few times. it could be some track from encens maybe? you'll definitely find someone on here who knows.
