it's neither progressive nor fullon nor darkpsy nor goa. and imho it's too weird and non-psy-like in sound choices to be compared to the classic psytrance of the early 00s (such as psysex, hux flux, ...)

talpa - when the somberness becomes the game comes to my mind.

what i remember is that they have been working on a new album, but they did use fullon knb which wasn't accepted by suntrip (and tbh from the sample i heard it didn't really fit that well to the rest of the music which sounded like a straight continuation from their old stuff). but this was a good number of years ago now. i still have hope that we'll see a new d5 album before the astral album

definitely. never let taste and creativity stand in the way of success. becoming the next vini vici clone is the way forward

i can recommend working 3/4-time. still pays the bills, less bullshit and more time for music

really nice tracks there! flipping out could potentially be a little too melodic/morning for what's popular today (which i agree is a shame), but for flipping dose i'd be hugely surprised if you couldn't release it on a good label. i have no idea how to approach a label (still working on getting (enough) tracks up to release-worthy level), but please keep us updated here on your progress.

i didn't pay, it's what i got for free. sure, i'll get my space back, but the point is 3gb isn't a lot. the folders for my tracks are usually around 12gb. while i could surely delete some files in there i think we would amass a lot more files that aren't used because it's such a big collaboration. also i don't think mp3 is a good solution for now. you sometimes want to process audio when working on a track and you'd have to do it all again with the full quality files once it's finished. so yeah, i could make a public folder and share the links with pm to get us started if you guys want, but i suspect we'll run out of space soon.

i really hope they update it soon. it's by far the best oscilloscope at that sort of price point not really. i do have 3gb free on my dropbox but with audio we'd probably quickly fill that up.

ah, sorry, i missed that. but according to the wko link you can reduce it to 10000€ if you like and only have to deposit 5000€ in the first 10 years. still the "liebhaberei" thing is probably the best option anyway. if you don't make a nice profit in a few years they'll reclassify it as such anyway.

smexoscope has a few issues with logic 10.5. in 10.4 i had it on the master all the time. now i only insert it on the channel when i need it for a short time. otherwise the whole project slows down to a crawl.

come on. you cannot seriously think that the boring, sleep-inducing music people call techno nowadays is in the same genre as real techno back in the day. in all seriousness, most of what is now promoted as techno would have been classified as minimal house in the time around 2000. however there are exceptions to be found in the techno thread in other electronica.

your information is outdated. they've reduced the cost significantly a few years ago. founding a gmbh (for a one person company) is in the range of 100€ now. and to my knowledge the "beschränkte haftung" rather applies to who pays for the liabilities when it goes bankrupt (but i could be wrong there). but even then i don't think it would be worth the effort to found a company if you don't expect to make a significant amount of money with it. on the other hand you could deduce lots of things from tax if you do have some sort of company (doesn't need to be a gmbh). so your new hifi system would be at least 20% cheaper depending on your income.

if you buy technics, make sure you get two SL-1200 (sorry, i have no idea about their other stuff)

thanks, yes it does. and it also downloads at a reasonable speed now too (done in a few seconds vs. a handful K per minute)

what i find darker than regular darkpsy is dark prog. this together with the techno rtp has mentioned (something like snts or dax j) is the perfect backdrop for depressing winter days.

the things posted up to now suggest goa trance. if we do down that route i could contribute some melodies played with oldschool sounding patches, atmospheres or 909 hatlines. if we go the fullon/psytrance route i could contribute something for every purpose (from knb over percussion, melodies and sweeps to semi-modular fx) but wouldn't want to do the arrangement. so i guess it's time to decide on the style, bpm and key of the track. unless anyone has any objections, i'd suggest 145 and F because 145 is neither particularly fast nor slow fitting almost any style, and F is easy to play and sits right in the sweep spot where the low end sounds best on most systems. i also think we need something like a shared dropbox folder where everyone can access all midis and audio files plus add their own input.

links are not working (and if i type it into the browser it automatically starts a search because of the spaces). then if i replace them with %20 and try to downnload it stops loading at 55K.

i wouldn't necessarily play it when in a good mood and motivated to do things either. but on a rainy winter day tracks like that (or dark prog) fit perfectly and give me more energy. i couldn't stand bright happy morning music then. also sometimes i need some contrast to ö3 after work

here's another gem i found (due to youtube recommendations), though it's not on the noisy side. heavy and dark, but atmospheric at the same time.

if you're into noisy techno you should take a look at AnD:

it's a great skill to have. i have a "track" sitting around with all the building blocks and no idea how to piece them together. so then we have rtp, mudpeople, recursion loop, veracohr and myself willing to contribute something. is this enough to get the thing started? do we have any ideas about the style yet?

assuming he doesn't ever sleep and didn't do anything else in that month, that's 10 tracks per hour. so nhjo writes music at the same pace that everyone else listens to music. if that isn't a superpower i don't know what is. but the sad thing is, there are only 30 of these track on youtube . i was really looking forward to a whole month of only listening to nhjo nyennro nonstop.

i had such a thing as a kid. didn't even realise that some of these are still working today my current "hi-fi system" is monitors hooked up to an audio interface and the computer. there's no need for an amp with active monitors, but still with a cd player you'd be looking at something like 2000€ for my setup but i think with cheaper speakers like the adam t8v you'd spend something like 500€ for speakers (active, so no amp needed), and get superb sound quality compared to your old system. of course you'd still need a cd player (a quick search only turned up discman clones and usb-drives for the computer, so i'm not sure if they still are a thing now) and an interface.

usually yes, but when i first heard dimension 5 play a liveset i had to lie down for 15 mins in the middle of the set to catch my breath

exactly what i was thinking. i haven't heard anything new from human blue in ages.
