radi6404 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Some big artists used to use chopping of synthlayers and vocals in their tracks, simon Posford did them in the best way of all artists I think, the chopping makes the tracks more intensive adn gives a "coolness" over a track. I´ve discovered a good ambient act, Lunar sound which has some great tracks with great choppings and it also gives the coolness factor. I think that chopping is very important in goa trance and goa ambient and think that way too few artists used good chopping probably because they lacked the ability to produce great choppings. Do you think choppings in goa are important? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think choppings in goa are important?No, I do not think its important, but with the right track, and the right way of doing it, it can sound really good. This effect that you are talking about, is mostly used in regular trance though (I mean, its more used in Regular trance than GOA/Psy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radi6404 Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 bu taht´s the kind of chopping I aktually don´t like because it´s not cool but already cheesy, for example in regular trance track here´s a break and than the artist adds DDDD dance or so. That I don´t like, the chopping of simon is not that cheesy but has still a coolness factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ophitoxaemia Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Can you say some example tracks? (Other than this ambient CD I don\'t have!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radi6404 Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 Can you say some example tracks? (Other than this ambient CD I don\'t have!) You definatly should check out my recommended lunar sound tracks. Anyway great chopping tracks are. hallucinogen - alpha centauri hallucinogen - angelic particles hallucinogen - orphic thrench (not so much chopping tho) hallucinogen - LSD Live mix shpongle - dorset perception shpongle - behind closed eyelids And other simon Poford tracks and some older mfg tracks for example mfg - desert sun but I don´t know many other chopping tracks except from hallucinogen and shpongle.

radi6404 Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 I am talking musicwise nemo, not soundwise, you as a producer wont consider it as important wtih your ears as a producer of music but musicwise gating is very imortant for goa trance.

From a producer, nor a listener point of view. I admit, that I like it, but it is not important at ALL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agneton Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 In the past I was pretty addicted to those 'gated' choirs and leads as well... (that's indeed the right word for it) Still if I consider the 'coolness' of it, it becomes less cool if you realize how easy it is to make yourself if you get your hands on the right vst's.

radi6404 Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 I was into producing music a few years ago myself, I admit taht you hear music with different ears when you make music and it was bad taht I wasn´t really able to hear music as a listener when I produced music but more as a producer, if you hear those tracks as a listener you will find them cool.

Feathers Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 There is a track on Strangeitude from Ozric Tentacles with choppings. The choppings can really mess with your head if you play the track loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin OOOD Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 There is a track on Strangeitude from Ozric Tentacles with choppings. The choppings can really mess with your head if you play the track loud. That's the title track off the album and it's one of my very favourite Ozrics tracks. The way the gating slows down...

Malevol3nt Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Agent Six-Oh-Four enteres the restaurant and awaits the waiter: Agent: My name is Posford, Simon Posford. Waiter: Good evening, Sir. Would you like some appetizer before you order dinner? Agent: Yes, a slice of '87 Mónperée cheese. Chopped, not gated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ophitoxaemia Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Forgive my ignorance here, but is only the effect on the vocals or throughout the track in, say, Angelic Particles? Would MFG - Overload qualify? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
