As I didn't really understand what that means, I looked for some info online and I watched this video. I don't know if it's 100% accurate, but it helped me put things into perspective. Anyone can tell that most modern releases sound louder than the ones from the nineties. As I usually like listening to albums in one go, I noticed that I OFTEN have a feeling of ear fatigue after listening to a modern album, but LESS OFTEN after listening to an oldschool album. So, I have these two questions: 1) Which modern goa trance albums have a good enough dynamic range, in your opinion? Can you give some suggestions? 2) To label owners & producers: Don't you believe that sound quality is a very important thing to consider? I believe that one reason many still prefer the oldschool goa is because they can't stand the loudness in a lot of new music. (Right?) After all, good music will still sound good in high volumes, but overcompressed will not. What do you think? Suggestions/opinions? P.S.: To make it clear: I'm not saying that all modern music sounds bad and that all 90s music sounds good, but, on the whole, there is an obvious difference.

Happy Dynamic Range Day 2014 everyone! As some of you may know, since the 90's there's a so called 'Loudness War' going on; an urge to make music as loud as possibly can. In commercial music the reason for doing this is, of course, a commercial issue: a track that sounds louder stands out more, resulting in more sales – that's the wrongfully assumed idea behind it. But there is a technical limit in mastering a track louder through compressing (and thus decreasing the natural dynamic range a track has), and this limit has been reached and broken by tons of albums, reducing the sound quality and (as important!) the enjoyment of listening to music as a result. This is the same in the Goa Trance scene. I believe that this is more out of lack of knowledge than a commercial reason; we do make, release and listen to this music out of love (and also because none of the artists or labels can make a living out of it, true ). Not only the mastering engineers are to blame; there are a lot of artists who mix and compress their music nowadays in such a bad way that there is nothing to do about in the mastering stage. But if that mastering engineer is also unaware of respecting a decent dynamic range, and the label owner too, then... You're going to have a bad time. Also, a lot of releases are free today, and thus less 'professional' regarding artwork, mastering, production – but this is not necessary bad, I really think that a DIY approach is a thing that can create a lot of positive projects. But this doesn't mean that there are some aspects that really need to change, in order to make most goa trance listenable again. This has nothing to do with money, but with mentality and knowledge. Those things are for free! The reason of this post? To raise awareness, for the listeners, the label owners, the mastering engineers and the artists. Because in 10 years of newschool goa trance and re-releases of old classic, the vast majority of the releases suffer of high compression and/or even distortion! About time to change this fatiguing stuff! Want to learn more about dynamic range, music and loudness? Visit http://dynamicrangeday.co.uk/about/, https://www.facebook.com/DynamicRangeDay, or visit mastering engineer Ian Shepherd's youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/masteringmedia for easy, understandable videoclips of this subject. I know, these are the same guys but I think that's the best way to keep yourself informed. Here is a very good short video that shows why 'brickwall limiting' removes all the impact of a track - and impact is a thing that in a genre like goa trance with all its climaxes is so so necessary! Let the music breathe and live again!

Alright audiophiles, I think its about time we put together a collection of software for musical production! Have you ever wanted to express every vision, passion, and experience into pure, untainted sound? Do you crave knowledge and wisdom through the universe of electronic production? Does listening to other peoples music make you wonder, "How did they do that?" If you answered yes to any of those questions, then you want to start crafting your brilliance into wave form! There are many of us who yearn to learn, but we do not know where to start. What software do we use? How do we use it? What the hell is an Oscillator? Why do I need a synthesizer? What synthesizers do people use? These questions and more pop up everyday, sending people on journeys through Google to find answers. My journey began ten years ago in the middle of nowhere Arkansas with a small, easy-to-use program named Garageband. I wanted to make Ambient music, and so I stretched every corner of the virtual globe to explore, discover, and understand electronic audio composition. My goal is to help everyones musical goals a little bit easier to reach. With this reference, hopefully you can. Below, you will find a large series of top notch, high quality, extensive programs, add-ons, effect processors, tweakers, and other sorts of musical programming pornography to release the stitches holding together your mind, aiming to bring the color of your world into a beautiful soundscape that will impress any fellow electronic enthusiast or dance-floor-acceptable raver. Show us what you've got! Grab some of the fresh programs below, mess around with them, and put together your virtual audio rack to start creating music! Hey now, don't stop there. Post your discoveries below, tell us about your favorites, and help expand this thread to communities everywhere. Otherwise, everything I have typed here is pointless! You don't want a basket full of kittens to die do you? Well, me either, unless it produced some sort of incredible sound effect that can not be replicated... hmm... Kittenslaughterstep... So, without further ado, I now present to you a list of Digital Audio Workstations, Virtual Synthesizers, Mastering Tools, Mixing Programs, Effects Processors, and other VSTs / AUs for Mac, PC, or both. Some of these work on Linux as well. Enjoy! Digital Audio Workstations - Synthesizers and Instruments - Effects - Mastering and EQuing
