I can lend you some if you like; I've got some I'm not using right now.

He's already done this I think ("I have no problem with that"), but Philter is right about exporting. If you can hear Reason when playing the track in Cubase, you'll be able to export it as he says.

My feeling is that Simon is one of those rare producers in the scene who only writes when he has something specific to say. Do you really want him to keep saying the same thing over and again? If you don't believe what he says, maybe you'd better take it up with him personally: mail@twisted.co.uk We could all learn from him; he knows when enough is enough.

hmm... there's a small break at 7:06 but no 'swoosh' sound... sure you've got the right track? I wanna test it out... one day...

So how many people can operate your computer simultaneously?

mins/secs?

Congratulations Nemo, all the best to you and your family. Now... don't you have more important things to do than post on bloody Psynews?

Congratuations Feeling nice is a nice feeling.

I've got to stop reading threads like this, it does me no good...

I don't think it's impossible that LSD makes the connection between the thoughts in your head and the music you write that much closer than it would otherwise have been. This might link into the fact that certain countries produce proportionally more dark music than others, Russia for example, as each country has its own internal situation. Personally I much prefer the music I write to describe the world I want to live in.

New rules won't make any difference unless they're applied properly and sensitively by the mod team...

Told you so!

No worries Tekk, I know it's impossible to please everybody all the time with all aspects of a project. The fact that so many people like the album at all is not something I feel able to take for granted at all even now, and I really don't find it upsetting or even surprising that there are elements of it that don't suit all tastes. However, as far as I can tell - and as you've already made it clear with your reference to flaming - you're kind of in a minority, at least as far as online reviews goes! I am expecting your post to be the first in a series of uncomplementary reviews though, as I think it's possible that people who don't like the album might be intimidated by the amount of positive opinions, and your post might be the catalyst that makes them realise it's ok to have a different opinion on it!. Thanks for your honesty.

Dr. Alex my ass. He's got a great line in wacky samples but the defining element of this album is the input of Kris Weston aka Thrash. The Orb were not the same after Thrash left; the guy is an utter genius - if a little unstable according to a mutual friend (who is himself a little unstable!). This period saw the Orb's finest work and this album itself is an absolute essential purchase. And yes, July 1992.

Grant has a new studio... keep your ears open for new tracks in the near future.

I am too excited *excited*

You have to trust moderators to know what they're doing, and to not do stuff just for the hell of it but for the greater good of the forum as a whole. I notice that there's not been much thread moving in the last couple of days; to me this would imply that what has needed to be done has been done. Perhaps by looking at exactly which threads have been moved where, forum users can work out what is considered off-topic and what is considered freestyle, and thereby learn which section to post new threads in. IMO though, there is far too much overlap between the offtopic and freestyle sections.

ok A section for mixes would be good though. We've got one on Psy-Forum and it gets used quite a lot.

I can't think who you're talking about...

Nope. This forum is dedicated to psytrance (hence the banner at the top of the window). It makes sense to me therefore to have an area where you can easily find information about the people who make it (if they can be bothered to post their information there) without trawling through pages of irrelevant threads. It's not about feeding egos, it's about enabling access to information. If such an area was created I bet you'd use it. I know I would.

I'd be glad to do the mastering although a CD's worth of tracks will take at least a couple of days and I'd be reluctant to do it for free...

We're very moreish.

My listening system is my production system - Cambridge Arcam Alpha amp driving Richard Allan RA8 (mkI) infinite baffle speakers. I've tried a few amps but this one (30 watts a side, 20 years old if it's a day, bought from a junk shop for £20 including matching tuner [since given away]) is the second-best amp I've heard with my speakers, including a Cyrus Two. The best amp was a Quad 303 which had recently been recapped, with a home-made passive attenuator on the input to get an appropriate input level from the mixer. I want one.
