Let's share here all the good Goa Trance tutorials tips and tricks we know...

Is it a home server?

Should have been great

Great we are back

Hi mate, I think you are right, I think many producers today just imitate what had success over and over again instead of create something new, I think it is because it's an easier way to get success and public, I'm not elitist but I think they make easy listening and predictable music just to get more people as public, success, money and whatever has that result, some kind of pseudo psytrance less art and creativity, but everyone can kick in and make their own new awesome music and make the diference

Foobar here low resources, clean interface and does the job.

Nop, but I started a new one, I'm trying to develop my style I started a new one, even the bassline has an arp , I will remake the track Goa ufo and comet with my new skills I have to add more details to the tracks.

First track on the list -> http://ce.sdf.org/ Someone like where I'm going with this? Give some opinions and suggestions. I have done this video for sharing for learning proposes the track in the site is already a newer version and I will keep updating it See the video and give some suggestion to improve Thanks in advance

I just want to say that makes me very happy that there is a new album using the real goa trance, psytrance methods, art and skill, then just using new technology in a non sense way, I feel those days many artists should use the technology more wisely, all those xenomorph tracks make sense and seem to tell a story, my favourite track is the negative time.

Alright thanks for the suggestions

Yes keep it running, I have some spare time if you need help I think I can help too forums still have some advantages no pub and not so distractive.

Very good keep releasing it's interesting.

I really like this album, it's like a return to them old style, I like all IM albums until the supervisor one, it's seems like classical music but with synths, that's great

It's nice seems IDM, braindance keep going.

What about this version, I changed the bass the delay and reverb, now the bass is less full on and more Goa Trance in my opinion, I prefer this version, I have to add more atmosphere sounds and an 303 and some music theory, I'm trying to figure out which logic delays and reverbs sound better and more Goa like and now I used the stepfx ones they are simple and do the job. I use the delay and reverb trying to create a space ambience, but yes the bass in version 4 have more quality, but I'm trying to achieve some olschool sounding doing everything with the same synth ES2, to make it sound more consistent.

Yes I already start watching a tutorial about music theory for keyboard players, let's wait if it helps, I already knew about that used scale for Goa the also called gipsy Spanish, but thanks.

Seems alright it is a question of taste too doing what you want, you seem in a good way keep learning and evolving.

We both are pretty amateur at least you got some melody, what DAW you use? What synths?, do you any compressor in bass with sidechain in the kick and at the master channel any compressor to glue the tracks? you should too add some delay and reverb in the synths, if you want your sound good you need every single sound to have sound quality, the tom toms, hihats and the crash seems good, maybe some reverb in the drums except the kick leave it without any delay and reverb, I think you need a more standard kick and bass sound, there are no rules but a more standard kick and bass is what defines a Goa track, I think you need to work in the kick and bass. The way I make my bass is sawtooth in one oscillator a sine wave half the intensity, the filter low pass at 250 hertz max the a little resonance or none, the I experiment with one envelope at cutoff filter and other at the amplitude/Volume leave this one with a small attack and release.

Yep I still try to make psytrance and I have fun, I'm here to learn too, this version has better sound quality in my opinion, still need a lot of fine tuning in the arrangement and in automatisations, more drum patterns variations I will check it later, the track lacks of story and needs to make more sense, I will get into that later. Anyone can get Vital it's free and start to follow a lot a YouTube tutorials and sound generic and with good sound quality and non sense tracks full drops and what else, but for now I will keep the more old school sounding some distortion in synths may add some mystery to the tracks and I don't have any music theory, and I just have notions about synthesis, mixing and mastering and my creativity, if you use your creativity and build your own story in the tracks then you will start to develop your own style if you want I guess. Do you have some track of yours to share I would like to hear it

Just discovered on synth in Logic Pro much more suitable for oldschool psytrance then Retro Synth, the ES2, it sounds with a bit of dirt but I think it's fault of the reverb and delay quality and it sounds a bit repetitive and loopy I still have to work on that tell me what you guys think? And the drums were made with drum synth that some people say it's not very good, maybe I will replace it with samples later.

Alright thanks for the tips

One delay like this? both delay left and right are ping pong if you set it to l+r both and then you use the crossfade from 0 to 100 to make ping pong less or more, that is what I think, any way sound good enough

It sounds proper, without many elements, but sounds great with those arps and some music theory, now I have a question do you add compression in every element or only kick, bass and lead and in master channel? I updated my track again in my site now sounds more progressive raised the delay and reverb and compressed every elements it sounds better or worse? I'm asking about the sound quality not the arrangement that needs much work I know, The snare is too levelled up I noted that and about the overall sound quality?
