oldschoolgoa

Recently i found this. i was bored so went on discovering how they used to make music back in the days. I seen in the 'how to make techno music in 1994' video that they had this small computer and i read in some magazines that the Atari ST played a big role in the 90s because it was one of the best midi sequencing machines you could find. the atari ST is praised for flawless midi and i believe it is. altho its probably very slow compared to our computers its like going back to stoneage of technology. i own a commodore 64 and thing has some lag browsing from one page to another due to low ram / memory i think.. yep i know its funny watching this now but thats how it was back in the days the adverts were cheesy and straight in your face. omg... did we really live all this? lol i still remember sega selling the mega drive genesis making fun of the nintendon't lol funny is nintendo is still up and sega... major flop . :| had lots of potential but they fucked up big time. anyways back on topic : i just googled atari st and you can see first topics coming up: - The Atari STe – Still The World's Tightest Music Computer? – Synthtopia Atari-MIDI Software - Tims Atari MIDI World well that pretty much says it. Well check it if you want. Many old producers will tell you it's really tight machine. Ok . Now to the next part and interesting part : - You can use an emulator of Atari ST get yourself a 'rom' of old cubase and run it in a modern machine . I gave it a try thought it would be cool to actually get my old Roland hardware working with this for old nostalgia sake lol So i got the emulator which is called Steem got floppy copies of old cubase but then things got complicated i have no idea how to work with the OS and damn it seems older than me but its not ... jeez i really feel old . Shows you how much technology has evolved in a short space of 10-20 years , not to mention Internet kicked in which radically changed everything in our lives.. Here's the video that i found and got me curious... You can give it a try if you have the patience for it... well i got to the point of grabbing the emulator and some shit old cubase copy . Ran the emulator then you have to get through all these options and the emulation felt heavy and sluggish. Not due to the computer , mine is outdated but its a dual core , way above average to run this sort of thing... But i quit. Think its so much easier to open FL Studio which i still have an old version ... because you know they are always changing shit , ive checked latest version and uninstalled right after. how can these people cope with so much intensive change? i dont get it. why are they always changing stuff have they nothing better to do?? yea it pisses me off its crap. One person said in this forum yesterday that fans change ... yea musicians change but this constant software change feels like its saying : ' oh you are too old for this now , this is not for you anymore.' i mean seriously??? fuck offfffff ok so basically happens new FL removed most of old features , sequencer and all i mean , what da fuck?? its not even fruity loops anymore and the sequencer is taking me ages just to get a simple loops on playlist because the 'blocks' pattern playlist was removed. yeah. thanks. NOT. So i still use FL Studio 10 believe it or not . Not even worth buying it because of the constant upgrade factor, Of course many people can tell me off like oh but its lifetime free once you buy it and its cheap . True it is but thats not what bothers me. What bothers me is the fact the frikking programmers couldnt find anything better to do than just mess and add more shit and more and more to something that never needed it. It was fast and intuitive they even made adverts about it how fast it is from your brain to speakers... now?? i just rather flush it down the toilet . Not gonna even support this sort of thing no way. I wonder now if they are going FL Studio 13 maybe Jason Vorhees will join Nightmare in Elm street and some horror or Image-Line (company that owns 'FL Studio' stupid name)... da fuck knows . its funny. So next also read here and i know other goa artists used amiga so i tried the same . Got amiga emulator WinUAE and 3 roms of the floppy disk of Music-X read recently on youtube prince used this too but da fuq knows its true or not... you know rumours... guy died recently so maybe thats cause of the hype.. just plain stupid an artist dies and all them labels go and try and cash in... now that's fucking SAD...a guy has to die to fucking sell records... ah well So next here's Music-X of the Amiga : never had amiga , i guess this is like windows or something ... loading is so fucking slow... real pain ... makes me wonder how in the hell did we work with such slow machines ?? fuckkkkkk... so damn slow and heavy again... like me most of the times . after the loading then you get this menu (got this from google the menu is blank) in the emulator i was like ... 'ok so now how to save load etc..?' its a real pain. i couldn't be bothered. So many files are needed so I just quit. Of course if you have the real thing its easy you use floppy disks... way easier than this but maybe one day ill find a real amiga but sure... there's no need your pc does it all and floppy disks ... if new kids know da fuck is a floppy disk lol So in conclusion for now: its 2016... and man ARE WE SPOILT!! Technology is far easier to use and so fast... you can cram so many synths in your computer its so crazy... take the machine you have now back in the 90s are you are a GOD ... if such thing was possible... really. The idea of having an entire studio in one pc its a miracle really. Think before in 90s how so expensive , bulky and that jungle of cables you had to get through to get a 'simple' song that we think today is so easy but it wasn't. Things changed drastically and really mean it. I still happen to few hardware and it still has its advantages. But pc software wise things were so primitive. Now imagine making a goa song on this... man i would have to sacrifice so much time to learn this.. maybe one day ill gather enough patience around to learn this but i'd still prefer to own the original machine... but still ... the menu transitions are slow and takes a while for the computer to draw the stuff.. slight delay which i dont like.. well worse than this is trackers... all a bunch of codes... i admire them tracker musicians/programmers learning all this... there's a lot i could say really... also shidapu used tracker fast tracker it was . today you can grab the so popular power of celtic and play the music project straight out from pc... sound is nice and crunchy. for the music producing nerds : the sound was aliased not filtered so thats what was unique in tracker music. modern software automatically anti-alias any sample played which is what causes the aliasing. anyways heres the program which was impulse tracker back in the days and try it if you will for curiosity or fun if you might http://schismtracker.org/ thats all for now in this 1st part of old music adventures old technology (man what a pain)... we really are spoilt today believe me... software is so quick... altho i still dont know shit about cubase... even today.

ok im checking this release like i dont give a toss checked discogs.. 2 tracks up there , had a listen to them samples.. ok just your average goa... no wait ... i mean.. shit! i can make songs like this taking a shit in 2 seconds , so stereotypical like most of goa ... not gonna even check the rest , as you said its horrible and not even worth it and i believe you... really mediocre... like grab any synth and push any turds you can out of it that's what you get... disgusting yea.. like this release :x Avg Rating: 3.33 / 5 6 For Sale from £2.50 12 tracks ... for 2 pounds 50? Score 3.33 ?? By this time i'd give it a 1 score at least , judging by 12 tracks only two are good and 10 are shit ... what a bucketload of shit id rather save it and buy a proper goa EP than this... you'd be probably paying for those 2 best tracks that are up in the discogs sampler rest is just garbage ... get yourself a better goa EP and stay out of this one... really this goes on the worst releases found honest really... stay away from this release. in the words of the AVGN :

i used to listen manowar , iron maiden back in the days... mostly manowar always preferred them to iron maiden the vocals were much better iron maiden i know many ppl love it and i like it too specially that power slave album is brilliant always preferred manowar because the vocals were catchier i think and i remember i didnt like much of bruce's vibrato voice but its ok now also dig some of that battalion album , if you like thrash check municipal waste aswel they are seriously mental LOL thrash metal good shit some doom metal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVVUxSL0VTo metallica not that much they were good back in the days until they got popularized kinda kills da shit , you ask someone you like metal , ah yes metallica , not all metal is metallica guess its same with psy you ask someone and they will all probably answer infected mushroom LOL there's 80's heavy metal i like too , probably my favourites , love those drums , vibe nothing can beat that , you know.. real metal rebellious teenagers Brazilian thrash metal , you will find lots of good bands most of them are brazilian , believe me they are good at this shit check this album , love that snare , really good mad riffage , mental lyrics Also Overkill is worth mentioning among others we all know like Black Sabbath most popular bands... but i always dig the underground stuff its always more interesting there's many others i have but not gonna post them all Tyrant Mean Machine all 80s metal theres still some others but i will just leave these here for now keep on rocking , ramming ... you know ... whatever lol you goats _\m/

i checked it as i never heard it before. its not a great track its just ok starts with a pipe organ (da fuck lol) gives a feeling of welcome to the draculas house church shit or someshit like that lol Christopher Lee fucking hell ! lol Dung Chen is a far better track compared to bela ... funny the name means beautiful in portuguese maybe also spanish, italian etc... lol not beautiful at all lol not a terrible bad goa release .. i mean for this price in discogs? 9 For Sale from £1.69 Avg Rating: 3.84 / 5 i guess we know why the rating is 3.84 now back on topic : not very egyptian still... i mean the notes are there and it is goa trance but i think its because of the combination of instruments that fails to envoke that egyptian atmosphere like Ra in to Sirius for example.. use of flute , the mystical atmosphere etc if he wouldve used something more ethnic instead of that pipe organ church shit maybe it would've worked you know? sometimes its just not writing melodies but also the pallette of sounds used that creates a certain vibe the pipe organ is more gothic and if he wouldve called the track vampire or something then it would be perfect fit... bela? looollll bajezuz thats what i think

ill check it tommorow chances are its horrible old rave techno like u said o_O cover is really bad think they were trying to be as much weird as possible jeeezz some weird ass alien with spiky boobs da fuckk??? face looks like alien resurection the final alien shitttt scary shit anybody for bit of lobster?? hole-in-one cover art yippie syringe in other hand reminds me of mark13 90s movie ... shit was really horrible dont wanna remember seriously u dont wanna know... yes its bad really bad man now that i see the cover jeezz i would totally avoid this shit!! good for a scarefest this album mustve been used for somekind of prank hey man whats up what are you listening to? -shows cd cover- yep . least the 80s fuckin nerd trying to be hip makes you feel better after this bad cover experience . shiittt... ok tommorow i'll google the tracks probably as horrible as that cover... why did you post this man , whyyyyyyy??? lol

im no politician yea times change , some people go away , new people come in , bring new ideas or not... not exactly evolution imo

found this was pretty cool too bad the sound is not the best the track sounded really interesting and also

very mystery of the yeti style

the nwo globalist agenda (lol da fuq that is) executing everyone that doesnt like 90s goa lol omg so extremist nah im not like that , im not trying to impose my shit on other people or converting shit like some pope priest or some shit lol no way im keeping it to myself , i dig some goa as i dig some fullon too its variable , well you know a good track if you like then you like no point explaning this here we know it i wouldn't worry about others , couldnt care less bout others think fullon or not couldnt care less but truth be told many fullon producers hated goa trance for some reason to the point of mocking me because i was 2004-05 and i was producing it also fullon always brings the picture to my mind about drugs and dirt... some might say goa does that too but that's just me if other people like fullon sure but fullon is so stereotypical and its just plain ... shit. i got in contact with goa music through school friends , friends cassettes and so on , so in my case its different. things evolve? not really man look psytrance is pretty much in same place as it was in last 15 years or so so why bother if others feel offended that's not my problem ... the only thing that 'evolves' is the computers we are using today... tommorow its a brand new windows ipad ipod or whatever new tech if you get me... aint that a bugger... fucking hate it .. but thats just me im old fart

holy shit now you reminded me of mohamour lol yea im gonna check that song is better that many in their actual blue album honest! that ending it was or something the strings really unique

i like goa but cant be bothered listening to most of it it just bores me hard to find something good and unique these days that will 'impress' and get you into it yea im major old grump lol

its a matter of taste why are you worried about offending someone else if you dont like it? dont think you should be afraid of expressing your opinion from yourself or should you? fullon... just doesnt compute , its the superstar syndrome that has like , look at me im cool or a materialistic way of thinking like hiphop rap i guess full on trance ? maybe some good stuff im not going to bash more cant be bothered listen to it there is other type of music i like with nice bassline

funny you commented i checked and first thing was what da fuck is that cover?? a fucking wooden seat ??? what da fuck is this?? free release? Weekend? well yea its friday today i get why you are releasing this today lol whats with the music? Catalog#: su009 Artist: Maxim Kornyshev Title: Weekend Genre, Style: Instrumental, Chillout, New Age Release Date: June 21, 2016 Country of Artist: Russia Format: Mini Album, EP i zapped through some tracks not my cup of tea sorry all mostly piano like classical , some others with acoustic guitar kinda coldplay ... nope sorry

funny as fuck lol i was gonna say same thing so johnb820 , did u manage to get that ''special evening'' with it ? hey dont be trying to sell me any CDs man ! shiitttt probably get CDs with sticky sleeves from you ! shittttttttttttttt dudeeeee

i know what to expect and im not going to even listen to this... i bet its pure fullonic trance with that hard sharp zap kick .... neeeeeeeeeehhhhh laughing buddha was good , well he did good goa shit like karma , earth medicine i thing , few good songs... this is just plain boring predictable and cliche

everyone still looks good but its not the same man yea its really good documentary nobody will find fullon shit sound in it its 100% 90's old school goa but many things still go same today like finding party location and get lost in road trying to find spot n shit its classic trance funny 20minutes thumbs up for that Total Eclipse yeeeee makes me wanna dance things were so good back in days

yea we all suffer from same syndrome most of us got into the goa sound thanks to these 2 guys that came with such ingenious sound they definitely nailed it in the head all 90s dance sounds we all were into and they added the goa magic and voila! all first 3 Astral Projection albums are awesome altho im not listening to astral projection today because its bit cliche and repetitive but thats just my mood i still remember back in the days really lovin this shit and those big leads are like wow ... everybody that knows goa music knows it lol

for a 2000 goa album this was like fucking awesome first heard Ra in goa head 12 or something , initiated it was. i was like : ' what- daaaaaa- fuck?????' in a impressive good way! i was completely mindblown , so damn dark and completely hypnotized by those fucking acidssss!! then boom!! at the end yea you get the fucking amazing egyptian melody! initiated was/is the bomb. so damn fucking awesome!! everything was/is perfect i couldnt avoid taking it to school in my cassette and walkman and share it with my school mates and they all fuckin loved it too!! sure it was all this and space tribe that religious experience with da pope total mad shit dance like nobodys watching as for this album initiated is the most powerful song they did the rest is good too probably close is R.O.M. but rest is pretty smooth. and whats with the Sign of Life mono sound?? good track but mono? cmoonnnn... Beyond control another song worth to mention .. close to initiated but smooth beat with nice hypnotic flute .. its nice album and probably only album with that egyptian atmosphere apart from a few other goa songs scattered along the universe

only mpc1000? shit thats hardcore the guitar sounded pretty good altho you think its crap, i mean for a phone mic recording? sounds pretty good man nice tune congrats on mpc1000 nice work man i also had one i know how hard it is to get some shit going on it . i didnt do anything else on it except a few rap beats lol i didnt had any ram probs i had it maximized to 128 or something get some more ram if you need more record time as for your track is well done its smooth sweet flowing for a looping song usually loops tend to annoy me because its repetitive but yours in this case worked because its well executed thanks man keep making music it was nice experience

ah damn im too late i was gonna check but you removed it or something yea that sucks man i know how it feels :|

yep! im not gonna even try to compete

i took a selfie and this came up. shit im really old

you want something mindblowing here :

I'd just stick to Ra- Sirius and that one .. and also shit i found this really fucking good! not 4/4 but shit i guarantee this will fuck you up lol XD listen to it you will see... here's more... yep buy the CD if you find it .. you will not find this easily on internet and the youtube quality is shit and so is mp3 but better than nothing hey?
