Cybernetika

those are my thoughts A good Darkpsy compilation, I like the concept. Faves are tracks 1,3,8(!),9(!!). I'd rate it 8/10.

Thanks for the replys, guys.

Hey This is a new tune I just made in one day and one night ... it is called "Narcosys". The first minutes are a little more experimental/minimal, but then it becomes pure atmospheric Dark Psy with lots of those noises you all love so much I did not really spend so much time on mastering, but I am quite content with the sound it has right now. The only thing I might really change is the structure, and maybe I'm gonna add more details here and there. "Narcosys" Length: 10:17 Bitrate: 320kbps Filesize: ~24MB Equipment used: FL Studio 6, rgc z3ta, Linplug Albino, Spectrasonics Atmosphere, etc. Mastered in WaveLab. the link: http://www.cybernetika.de/cybernetika_-_narcosys.mp3 Enjoy!

Thank you

Hey, this one is a really good track. I can tell you spent a long time with it, there is lot of attention on the details, all the synths are perfectly polished and sit very well in the mix. Pretty cool stuff, with all those detuned synths. From the synths and the groove it reminds me a lot of oldschool stuff by Slide. Really good work, keep it up!

Hey mate, I'm commenting as I listen... spooky intro. And timestretching is always a winner for me Some sick noises here, I like that. I like what you did with the vocals, those fragments are actually quite disturbing. The kick is quite good, maybe the bass could get a little more upfront? Try some compression. Now at the small lead melody. That one is cool! Really sick one, I dig it. Towards the end its getting a little repetitive. Timestretching is cool, but dont overdo it The problem of this track (at least to me) is that there is not enough drive. It needs more drive and/or funkiness. Try to make of groove of some cool percussive sounds. Keep it up!

Amazing track! The FX are totally insane... Its very driving with all those gated acidic synth riff. The bassline is great, maybe a little muffled but still great. I especially love the second half of this. Wicked melody towards the end. Man, what a nice stomper, I love it

I'd say a phaser will do the job, but I havent really looked into it so far.

Yo, thanks a lot for the comments Now there is a front and a back cover available made by polly (www.miazu.com). Thanks a lot! Front Cover Back Cover by the way, I would like to know which track you guys consider your favorite.. seems like Astranimus will win the race

I know a black metal band called Windir, whose front man plays accordion. They also have a more laid back intro track called "The Beginning", not exactly ambient, but there is a lot of accordion inside creating a nice atmosphere.

Yeah, sometimes, but I usually can remember what I had in which pattern by its length and eventually, by a preview... I'm pretty uncreative in naming my patterns, plus I am too lazy for that... I usually work in unorganized chaos (anyone who tried to collab with me hated me for that ).

Awesome job man! I totally love this stuff This is fantastic, like an exploration of ancient tombs or lost planets. Perfect stuff for my Cthulu Roleplaying sessions

I think the most scary thing about this is the CPU load

I listened to Dropship and I liked it as well. You good some good ideas with arrangement of sounds. Its really nice how they work together. The percussion work is very nice, good work with the hihats. You might however still need to improve the quality of the sounds themselves. And mastering, well, you got to work on that. But the tune sounds promising, with a little Dark Nebula influence

Hey I recently completed my second "promo" album, which consists mostly of older tracks that have been modified and revised a little, but there are also completely new tracks in here ... the style is Psy, mostly dark, with influences of Industrial, but there are also some bits of Goa here and there. I thought it would be cool if I share this stuff with you. Well, here is the tracklist: 01 - Astranimus (revised) - 8:29 02 - Darkstar Phobia - 9:56 03 - Master Sensei - 8:00 04 - Neuromancer (revised) - 9:52 05 - Paradox Parallax - 8:22 06 - Sub Neural - 08:24 07 - Zero Manifesto 2006 (revised) - 8:36 08 - Dimorphic Blackcell (revised) - 9:47 Total: 71:26 minutes (perfect to burn on CD ) The linky: >>>DOWNLOAD Cybernetika - Promo #1 2006 (right click, save as)<<< - .rar file ... you will need winRAR or something similar to extract it. All of the tracks are in 320kbps. I made them with FL Studio 6, ReFX Vanguard, Spectrasonics Atmosphere, Linplug Albino, rgc z3ta+, audiorealism Bassline, and many other VSTplugins. The tracks have been mastered and normalized via WaveLab and the Waves Plugins. No additional normalization is needed when burning. Hope you enjoy this album... any feedback appreciated There is also a possibility to get this stuff in wav format on CD-R, you can contact me via PM or mail.

Hey, nice atmospheric sounds you got there... You used spectrasonics atmosphere or samples? Haha, the intro is fucking great, made me smile. The kick is strange, I think it is lacking a little punch in the bottom. Try to compress it a little harder. Other rythms are really nice. I like the deep bongo(?) type percussion work in the middle section. Really trippy effects and ambience. I am a little missing a climax here, but the track stays at a constantly high atmospheric level. I really dig it, it works great with headphone listening. Good job, keep it up

Okay, took a quick listen now. The beginning is awesome. Ethereal and very dreamy. The mix keeps progressing very well, almost couldnt notice many of the transitions. The midsection then is totally awesome. I can get completely lost into this stuff. The ending is not so good IMO, thats not too much my style. But I still got to admit that the transitions work well and the mix has a good overall theme. Thanks a lot for sharing

Psybreaks!! Yay, finally something new in this awesome genre. I'm downloading it and will definately check it out!

The download stopped after like 20 Megs and I tried it again, but hadnt any success, plus the download speed is really slow. Any chance to get this uploaded again cause I really wanna hear it. Thanx

Hey, I just discovered a way to fatten up your kick and bass combo with the Waves Plugins. I hope this could be helpful to you. You can of course use any compressor/limiter for this but in my opinion, there is no easier and better sounding way than with the waves plugins. So here we go... First, route your kick and bass to different FX channels. On the kick FX channel, use the Waves RVox and set the threshold to something between -5 and -15. You will notice the kick sounds "stronger" now. This isnt necessary per se, as most kick samples are already compressed quite well, but I think its always helpful. After that, you may need to boost the bottom of the kick a little, to give it punch. You can do so by applying the Waves RBass now. The trick is to boost the ~80Hz area now. Attention: as the RBass is quite heavy, you might get distortion, so you need to make sure to lower the "intensity" from the preset 0.0 dB by a few dB. After that, you can use an EQ to adjust the kick's character a little. Now comes the channel you have routed the bassline to. Most psy tracks nowadays have only one bassline providing both the sub frequencies (warmth) and the upper bass frequencies (melody). So here is what you could do: On the bass channel, use the Waves RVox again and adjust the threshold to a relatively high value, this is used to make the bass really dominant in the overall mix. Then, you can optionally use the Waves RBass again. Boost at ~40-50Hz this time, this will be the sub frequencies. But again, go easy on the "intensity", too much bass intensity will mudden up your bassline, so lower the preset 0.0 dB a little again. Now is the time to do sidechaining if you need to. This is only needed if the bass directly interferes with the kick, but I am also trying to solve this conflict EQ/Compression-wise: You can use an EQ on the bass now, and now you can reduce the bottom frequency you have previously boosted on the kick (here its around 80Hz), this might be needed to give the kick space to breathe. Now on to the last step: Now you have to route both kickdrum and bassline channels to one single channel. And there you apply the "Waves L2" (ultramaximizer). This tool will maximize your kick and bass while at the same time limiting the signal to a set amount of dB so that your kick and bass dont cause any clipping anymore. You have to experiment a little with the values and how they work with the overall mix. In my example, I set the "threshold" to -8.3 and the "out ceiling" to -4 ... in effect, that means any signal louder than -8.3 dB will be maximized to -4dB, but it largely depends on what suits the sonic nature of bassline and kick. The settings used here are only meant as an example, it still depends on what type of kick drum and bassline you are using. Just trust your ears Like I said, you can also use other compressors or limiters. You have to use a high ratio to imitate the RVox. Hope this tutorial helped you a little. Good luck! And any criticism on this tutorial is appreciated.. I know here are some that know their business way better than me, so feel free to tear it all apart Also, big thanks to my friend Felix aka Airi who helped me a lot with this issue.

Hey guys, thanks for your feedback on the track. Appreciate it! So I will have a look at the second half especially. Thanks again for your help.

"Nitrous Oxide": That sample in the beginning is very disturbing and haunting. Awesome work. The track reminds me a little of the dark Schlabbaduerst stuff. Great lead in the mid. Now thats deep stuff. The track keeps on growing. Though you have to be in the right mood for it. But when you are, a real mindbender "Endo-Hallucinogen": The beginning is a little too loud and noisy IMO. Then comes very nice dark Goa stuff. Relatively slow pace here, gives the sounds much room to breathe. Again, excellent lead. What synth do you use for that? 3:00 is a pure psychedelic assault. Not for the weak minded Now at 6:27 ... HOLY SHIT!!! The last lead is totally trippy and awesome! MAN!! Havent heard such a great dark Goa lead sound for ages.... Again: How did you do that INSANE lead sound?? Conclusion: Nitrous Oxide: 7.5/10 ... Endo-Hallucinogen: 9.5/10

Wow, a psychedelic masterpiece. Scared the hell outta me.

Thats really a short sample. but from what I can hear, it sounds very nice and well produced. I like the kick sound. The bass is not so much my taste. Maybe you can sync that bubbling sound better. Good luck with your music project.

I just listened to the mix again. When it came to the last track I was totally lost in another world. Like a scary black alien planet. Man, what a perfect ending...
