Vibrasphere has always been one of my favorite prog acts. I love their sort of trance meets dub approach.

Time's no major issue for me. The next couple days I have a few things going on, but I could start mailing stuff potentially as early as Friday

E-Jekt - Dark Fader. Great track titles if nothing else (music isn't too bad either though)

Boo Reka - Corrupt Data Factory

For the record, I've been making electronic music for 7 or 8 years now I guess. re: the "discipline" to finish tracks. probably my biggest strength is that I will work and fight with a track until it is "good enough" in my book. Several years later some tracks hold up better than others of course, but in my occassional listen backs to the older stuff, I'm surprised that very few tracks seem "half baked" musically. Now when it comes to production quality that is a whole different story and I'm glad that most of my early stuff is now safely forgotten...lol

You can also buy PAR-2 Productions mp3 and wav files there as well. More labels seem to be jumping onboard.

For electronic music probably about 70 or so maybe? My strength seems to be not in numbers, but in the fact that I finish just about everything I start. At the moment I can only think of two unfinished tracks I have, one in production and one from about 5 years ago.

There isn't a huge range of sounds here, but they are all quite high quality. I think a lot of people would like it for the choir alone.

One thing with saiko orders is that usually the intial shipping hit is big, but it doesn't go up much afterwards. With large orders it's not much of a problem I think.

Great CD! Back around 99 or so that was in nearly constant rotation in my cd changer.

Bank transfers are strange. Back in the US they could be quite expensive, however here in Japan they are very cheap and everyone uses them. In Saiko's case, luckly they have a Japanese bank account as well so a transfer there only ends up costing a couple dollars. Also with Saiko, the postage difference between airmail and courier is so small that I can find no real reason to use airmail anymore. Plus with courier I get my stuff in about 3 days (both in Japan or in the US!!!)

Since we are at it. PAR-2 Productions will throw 5 copies of our first compliation "A Walk Through Neptune's Garden" into the give away as well.

Older remix that was unreleased for fairly obvious reasons. Some low quality versions have been changing hands for years though.

Yeah. "Welcome" is by far the best remake I've ever heard. Then again its quite old and the sort of "throw away" remix mentality was as strong back then. Definately a track I'd like to get on .wav someday, but its basically impossible to get.

Yeah full tracks. I'm about 3 minutes into mine.

New thread opened to avoid confusion due to the shifting nature of the thread here.... http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=42765

With the change from the original idea of Nemo's preset club thread we've decided to only a clean thread for the idea we finally came up with. To quote the man.... So, here is the deal: You make a track out of the following tools, and post it here. A selected group of people will then vote on the best track or something. We'll possible also do a big preset exchange when its over. That's all to be discussed still: You can use: Synths: http://www.geocities.jp/daichi1969/softsynth/synth1v107.zip Percussion packs: http://www.nanorecords.co.uk/uploaded_file...-packs/kit1.zip http://www.nanorecords.co.uk/uploaded_file...-packs/kit2.zip ....using the drum sampler of your choice, and/or maybe for flavor add this freeware sampler http://www.discodsp.com/highlife/ Effects: http://www.kjaerhusaudio.com/classic-series.php Happy producing! Edit: Topic Pinned!

The presets only idea seems to have fallen aside for the concept of making a track with a limited number of decent quality freeware items instead. I've already started my track and I must say its kind of liberating in some ways to only have to deal with one synth, one sampler and a handful of effects. Challenging for sure, but definately cool working with what you have rather than giving in to the temptation of swapping synths in and out forever trying to find "the" sound. No deadline at the moment, but perhaps we could set one? Make it like a contest or something? Perhaps we could also do like a preset share for Synth 1 when it over?

Sorry they got messed up when I copied them the second time. I edited the post but here they are again just in case. http://www.nanorecords.co.uk/uploaded_file...-packs/kit1.zip http://www.nanorecords.co.uk/uploaded_file...-packs/kit2.zip

Its drifted a bit from the original preset only idea, but I think this way will probably yield better results musically and be a better learning experience for the artists in involved.

So perhaps Synths: http://www.geocities.jp/daichi1969/softsynth/synth1v107.zip Percussion packs: http://www.nanorecords.co.uk/uploaded_file...-packs/kit1.zip http://www.nanorecords.co.uk/uploaded_file...-packs/kit2.zip ....using the drum sampler of your choice, and/or maybe for flavor add this freeware sampler http://www.discodsp.com/highlife/ Effects: http://www.kjaerhusaudio.com/classic-series.php

I thought of that too. Also a good idea.

How about. Synth 1 only for the synths. Percussion packs one of these two, since they are basically complete sets http://www.nanorecords.co.uk/uploaded_file...-packs/kit1.zip http://www.nanorecords.co.uk/uploaded_file...-packs/kit2.zip ....using the drum sampler of your choice Effects: only native effects for the sequencer you use.

It'd be more challenging yes, but perhaps too much so for some people. Having absolutely everything including percussion on the same synth is perhaps maybe venturing a little to close to "synth demo" land for my taste, and I rarely hear much that is really good in that department. At least by having a solid set of percussion samples (again the free nano one's seem like a good choice to me) everyone starts off with a solid base in that department and then can focus on the synth for more "synth" like endevours?
