  1. There's no personal definition of dynamics, you can't debate that. I don't think you have a clue. Not that I'm saying that you should, but stating that over-compressed albums are 'really dynamic' is like saying the Eiffel Tower is in Burkina Faso. I have some of the unmastered tracks of Erta Alé, and the difference is huge (for example, one track has been reduced in the dynamic range with 8db!). Really, put those tracks through a loudness meter and please come again with your results. You don't need the unmastered versions, if you would actually listen and understand what's going on (again, this is not a personal attack, it's just not the easiest matter in the world of audio) you would agree. Check the soundclouds of some artists, and notice the difference. I'm not talking about EQ'ing or whatnot, just dynamics - the most important thing in music regarding the combination of technique and creativity.
  2. Nope, still available! https://shop.cronomi.com/?page_id=368 https://shop.cronomi.com/
  3. I'm... baffled, yet this is another common example of why people nowadays don't understand what mastering is all about. No offence, but I don't think your ears correspond with what you write. If you would know what dynamics is you wouldn't say something like that.
  4. That sounds like a simple saw wave actually, could be Roland gear indeed
  5. That's what I thought when I saw his studio pics, absent 909, 727, 303, ... =) But if I got some money left I'm still going to buy that Martin Cooper album, some things sound really good, more 'grown up' than the Asia album imho.
  6. I like the tracks under his Martin Cooper alias better, are both albums made recently?
  7. Great tracklist indeed! But I hope this will have a better mastering than the first release? That one's also very good regarding tracklist, but it's sooo compressed sadly enough.
  8. No of course not, it's all analog! =) That's the whole point of the mini version.
  9. Interesting interview, but I wonder why he threw away his analog stuff! I can't imagine Asia 2001 without a 909 and a 303 ^^
  10. Track 14 is Baas Complex - Gyro. Track 3 Zodiac Youth - Atoms (Angel Fish remix).
  11. The filters (which I think is one of the most important parts of a synth's character) aren't really screaming like an original. I'm not really convinced by this video but it doesn't sound bad though. I'll have to try it first, if so I'll probably recommend it to somebody who wants to go analogue. In theory it has no negative sides
  12. Would be nice if the sound will be true to the original. I got one and the filters are just fucking ear-ripping awesome. It's great that Korg is going analogue again. No presets! I hope they will come up with a new and original synths though, I think the "vintage-remake" market is getting a bit saturated.
  13. A tip: drumcomputers, maybe multiple drumcomputers. Or for example, download some sample packs of the classics (TR-808, TR-707) if you like the sampling way better than sequencing. Also, I think your balance isn't that good: the kick and bass are way too prominent. Melodies and mood are good, could use more variation though.
  14. If you're buying an iPad instead of analog instruments for making goa trance, you're going to have a baaaad time.
  15. That's another example of the loudness war... the whole newschool goa scene is infected.. ^^
  16. I could try it, but I don't need your money of course. But first, did you try to render the patterns themselves, and replacing the plugin patterns with them? Rendering audio files takes less processing time than rendering plugins.
  17. I'm sorry I thought you said frequency range. But yeah I guess so because they seem to copy/paste the specs. Not the graphs, of course. But I don't think any "passive" listener here would be any wiser because because of that, in my opinion it's not even that necessary.
  18. Of course not, you can find those specs on every manufactures' page. EQ'ing for headphones for listening purposes is even more pointless imo...
