A lot harder than inititally intended and ended up falling more in the Full-on category than Forest.
I think it came out quite well though. Still needs final mixing, etc. which is the bane of my life

It did manage to teleport me to the dance floor for a good work out even though that’s not my thingy.
I think it does maintain a pretty high level of energy and sufficient interest throughout for dance.

Thanks man
Trying to cut back on all social media lately. I think it was the NI thread that pushed me over the edge

Sounds decent enough. And I get there's no melody in this genre but there still isn't enough variation in the arrangement to keep it interesting for over 6 minutes. On the plus side, it isn't just a loop played for 6 minutes. And the few breaks do help. Just needs something else to bring it to the next level. As I am in no way an expert in this genre, I have no idea what that is. Perhaps somebody like Recursive can pop in here and give you his two cents. He knows his stuff when it comes to Psytrance.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a 7, which isn't bad.

Thanks Wags.
Melody in this type of psy is few and far between. As soon as any melody is introduced it morphs into Morning Psy (yes that’s a genre name ) which I do like but it’s not my preferred genre. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a dark Psy track with melody; it just doesn’t work. Happy to be enlightened and proven wrong though.
Regarding variation: I will add a few more elements and continue the automation in a few days; just need a break from it for now.

Yeah, I kind of figured that, which is why I don't get too hung up on melody for this genre anymore. But then it does still need something to make listeners go "Ooo, that was cool" or whatever. There are a few moments here. And truthfully, not a ton of work is needed on this one. Just a surprise here and there.Mushy Mushy wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2019 8:13 pm Thanks Wags.

After doing my "trance" CD, I'm gonna leave the EDM stuff to the EDM guys and do what I do best.

Now that’s some feedback
Studio pics are still coming. Just sorting out a few other financial priorities right now unfortunately so most likely Nov/Dec is when the next Thomann order will be placed. Until then the studio is still very much in an unfinished state.

I’m a bit annoyed about the Dalek thing TBH. I love Dali and was watching a documentary on him whilst playing with Softube Modular and Clouds. The track name came to me then and it was only a few days later I Googled it to find I wasn’t as original as I thought I was.

Yes, true. I hope the “ooooh” will come from some additional sound design and automation in the next mix of it. I find taking a break from projects and revisiting a little later shines a whole new light on improvement areas.wagtunes wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2019 8:17 pmYeah, I kind of figured that, which is why I don't get too hung up on melody for this genre anymore.

Squishy and mushy in a pleasant way. Nice vocal processing. Fun squelches with jagged edges. Definitely has that high flavor.
