Bahamut

Just listened to Axis... ...zzzZZzzzzzZZZZzzzz this has been done better and many times before by regular eurotrance/epic trance/whatever artists, many years ago...

The parts at 3:50-5:10 or so and 7:00-8:30 are very cool... now that's old skool Nintendo The rest of the track is a bit of a mess. Seems like filler material just to make a full track with the cool parts above. Overall I can imagine a more nintendo-like sounding track. I mean... IF you're gonna do it, then you should make it a complete nintendo fest all the way!

time to slow down heartrate =) Bahamut - Silent Angel 2003 Global Communication - 9:39 Tetsu Inoue - Chill In Chill Out

He's a synthfreak alright and he had/has a massive collection. There was a very nice and long interview on the web with studiopics and all but I can't find it anymore. You can spot him with equipment somewhere between these pics: http://usuarios.lycos.es/audionautas/Paran.../santuarios.htm Major SYNTH NERD warning!!!

The Fireman - Appletree Cinnabar Amber

Loop this mp3 while staring at this image for as long as it takes =D

tuberculosis

AWeX - Back On Plastic Public Energy - Three O' Three

Very nice. I like the atmosphere. Maybe it would be nice if the sax played a few, short, faster 'riffs', in between all the long notes.

Pretty damn cool. But it sounds mono!

Klaus Schulze - Totem

Lovely track!

It's the sounds, rhythms and melodies together... and song structure.. long-form, slowly developing music.. that's the best 'trance-inducing' music for me

McKoy thanks for the comments, very much appreciated. The sound of it could be more natural and 'open' indeed. I improvised the melodies on the keyboard. I will get back to the track sooner or later. If you're working on something similar I'd love to hear!

Thanks.

...And The Day Turned to Night Angelic Particles the only tracks from the whole psy scene that I'd call masterpieces (Juno Reactor excluded)

ASIO Direct X still sucks on my system (1 Ghz, Audiophile 2496). If that soundcard has its own ASIO drivers, it's much better to use these. And it seems it does have ASIO support: http://www.xgfactory.com/html/comp/drivers/driv_f.htm For this you don't need to setup ASIO DirectX or ASIO Multimedia. In Cubase: Options -> Audio Setup -> System Then select the ASIO driver from your XG card and you'll see the latency. If it's possible, click ASIO Control Panel (the setup of your soundcard) and maybe you can change the DMA Buffer Size there. I use VST 5.1/32. I'm not sure if it's all the same for VST 5.0. I vaguely remember I had troubles with 5.0, but with 5.1 it all worked perfectly so I recommend using that version.

Psytrance would be THE music of choice for a "fly through a network of brightly coloured tunnels at extreme speeds" sort of game.

I have yet to hear an artist in anything related to psytrance or trance music in general, that has more of an own style than Juno Reactor. Of course I recognize individual styles of other artists, but they're just not as original and unimitated.

Thanks. The synth patch consists of a filtered saw + clarinet sample, thought it sounded like some sort of arabic instrument hehe

nomads that is... have a listen and tell me what you think

I have to say most of the samples sound pretty nice, but some a bit boring.

Arabic chill track I've been working on: http://people.zeelandnet.nl/rverpl/Bahamut%20-%20Caravan.mp3 It's short but I don't know if I'll continue with it. Anyway, I had fun while making it. Enjoy!

Juno Reactor - Everything

Pink Floyd - Cluster One Good night.
