English, French, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese, all fluently. We speak Brazilian Portuguese at home (my beautiful wife's Brazilian). I know some German (11 years of German at school).

Places with lots of noise and with lots and lots of people
Goa Travellers replied to radi6404's topic in Off Topic
I know that. People in developped countries rush for everything, they work very fast (this is also why they are rich countries). In southern countries, people take more time to liven, they have families, time to eat, etc. This leads to all kinds of mental illnesses up north such as burnout syndrome, depression, general anxiety, OCD, ADD and such symptoms you describe. In my case, when I am far from the city, I feel well. As soon as I come back home, I'm sick again. In your case, plan for change. Don't stay in that situation. This requires effort and creativity but come up with a project that works for you to stay away from that freak world, while still sustaining yourself financially. -
Ah ah!! Interesting topic! Please don't speak too loud about the romanisco cauliflower, it might be considered a psychotrop and banned soon! What about snow flakes? No one mentioned crop circles Still a mystery... And northern lights: I want to witness these one day Thunderstorm lightenings: Clouds: The cosmos:

I also like: Blues, Jazz, Brazilian traditional music, Indian music, old Reggae, Salsa music, Bachata, Dancehall. But I don't listen much to these ; 90% of the time, I listen to goa trance music! Unbeatable

What can explain this process is holistic learning (PDF), it's a web on which memory would be organized. Basically, every bit of memory is connected at least to one or more bits of memory. Interesting read.

Slacking looking at the Psynews forum, searching to interesting topics, updates and people like me, ah ah!!

What beer/liquor are you currently drinking
Goa Travellers replied to Master Lu Bu's topic in Off Topic
I don't drink alcohol, I drink vanilla soymilk, juices, water, tea and sometimes coffee. Yummy -
I'm not surprised you're disappointed with the experiment...If it were a true enhancer, people would use it and everybody would know about it...I have taken Arcalion for some time as a mind enhancer (concentration and memory), and I stopped for lack of results.

So! I'm back from India...Incredible country to say the least! It's even mentioned on their immigration form: "Incredible !ndia" Indians are very sweet and cheerful, it's difficult to leave them and to come back to ageing Europe (today it's 15°C and it's raining here...). They stare at you like children, as if you were an extraterrestrial. One could write a whole book on India! People constantly run to survive, yet they smile at you and are always here to help (something we need to learn from). The food is very good, lots of tasty fruits also. Only problem: spice in food. I would always sweat like hell while heating. Ladies don't dress like men (as in western countries), they dress very beautifully, and they are very charming and beautiful ladies with long dark hair, hypnotizing eyes, they're truely beautiful. Where I was, people speak Telugu, which again, is a very beautiful language (written and spoken). I wish I could have learned more Telugu words than Namaskaram, and Dhanyavadhamulu. People drive like crazy. It seems there are no rules, but fortunately, the collective subcounciousness of drivers does so that accidents are very often avoided (however I have seen a few accidents in 2 weeks). People are not afraid of death, as a result they take risks, like children. I have seen many things that surprised me (or that I consider contradictions) such as cows (sacred in India) eating plastic bags in landfills along the road, people throwing away garbage in public places (roads, parks, streets) while being overly clean at home, people not fastening seat belt, brooms not having sticks and women having to bend to swipe the road borders (tiring job), drinkable water tankers on the road with the tap left open, a baby on the motorcycle in front of the dad, no helmet. Lots of people always, everywhere. Lots of noise, traffic jams and pollution in the city. I have seen market sellers and rickshaws trying to charge incredible amounts of money (like 20x the normal price), so before paying, I would always convert mentally into euros and compare to local cost of living to make sure I wasn't ripped off too much. But that's ok to pay a bit more than locals. Cricket is the national sport ; Pakistan is the official ennemy. Beautiful music on Radio City (91.1 FM). It took 2 hours to come back from work everyday. Hyderabad is a huge and very spead out city, roughly 40% of the population is Muslim, I didn't know that, Muslim women wear a black niqab (you can only see their eyes), Muslim men wear a crochet taqiyah and a kurta. Hindus have a third eye, and women have a bindi. People are deep believers (everywhere you see gods on paintings, temples, symbols, statues, mosques, churches, etc...). Beautiful weather, a bit too hot for me, though. I would feel bad when they called me "Sir", and I would often mention "Please, feel free to use my first name only - forget the sir, LOL". I have seen a monkey near a house, buffalos in the middle of the street many times. Beautiful customized painted Tata trucks. Custom-made vehicules. I felt pretty bad seeing poor people begging at the traffic lights or low-cast workers treated like junk by others for no reasons. I focus more on the beautiful aspects of India. I would love to live there, I only have to come up with a valid and sustainable project. Everybody should spend some time in India, it is a great lesson of life!

Steinberg UR22 sound card
Goa Travellers replied to Imba's topic in Music Making and Production/Industry
Yes, it's a good soundboard, however it may be more tailored to Cubase. Please bear in mind this only has stereo in and out. If you plan to use Ableton Live, there may be soundboards developed with Live in mind. I don't know much about it though, as I'm not a Live user. -
Naughty snare drum
Goa Travellers replied to Goa Travellers's topic in Music Making and Production/Industry
I will try! Thank you -
Hello, How would you create a typical powerful snare drum commonly used in goa trance tunes like this one? Maybe start with a white noise with high resonance, and some release, then?... Thanks!
-
Same Lately Bass used here. I bought my TX81Z, brand new, for €55. Buy one while they are still inexpensive!
-
Hello, Do you think is a supersaw? It looks like a number of detuned sawteeth with chorus. What instrument do you think was used? Something like a JP-8080 maybe?

Damn, Stratosfear kicks ass! Those guys were flying high when composing it. Soooo good!

Kick related question
Goa Travellers replied to Panoptes's topic in Music Making and Production/Industry
One powerful kick drum here -
Yeah, cultural thing. I also find it incredible. Actually, the more crowdy the city, the bigger should be the effort to reduce noise. You could honk alone in the countryside if there's no one around An Indian friend told me they honk because they're upset with the time spent in traffic jam.
