my first psytrance-styled track

hey guys :) this is my first track i made on caustic 3. its pretty short for the psytrance genre, and i dont use to many "effects" as known usually in this music due to my lack of skills with this great app :)

Everybody of you is welcome to listen to my track, and give comments, tips, whatever!

 

Thanks and keep rockin!

Good start mike_rofone. Take

Good start mike_rofone. Take time to make your tracks and you will get the sound that you want. Im not familiar with psytrance but just a little bit suggestion, is it ok to use padsynth? Maybe it can help you to make it more lively. :)

As suggested, the padsynth is nice for filling in a sparse arrangement with a nice chordal "wash".

Sounds GREAT! Using the effects could fill the void you speak of. Try a chorus, or two, and play with the settings. Have fun.

Looking forward to it.

Looking forward to it.

If you don't have fun...it can be heard. The dodgeriddim sounded fun. Psytrance is a great genre. Not many have the balls to start off with it...and do as well as you. The breaks build ups, and come backs are nice. Copy & paste the drum sequences. Then, add more kicks. Do that a couple of times and throw them into the next version. Welcome to the forum. If you need help with anything...just ask. Have fun.

wow, thanks :) i listen a lot, and analyze the tracks in my brian trying to make them sound the best what is possible :) my favourites at the time are space tribe and azax syndrome. i like that full on. its so uplifting.

and i came to the clue that sometimes its better to add just another hi-hat to the whole thing could make it drive :D its the small things

I like adding a chorus to bass lines. Depth & wet turned all the way up, rate & delay 1/3 up, and the chorus type as two diamonds. It gives a really full sound.

Save often and save different versions of the same track...in case you mess up like me. Don't be afraid to adjust everything.

I know you're Cows of Truth..

I know you're Cows of Truth...But, HOLY COW! You don't listen to psytrance? How about Goa trance? Very similar they are. Even Juno Reactor has been touring India (mainly the Goa region) for a while now. But, his Eastern European following is deeper.

"HOLY COW!" yeah i know, im

"HOLY COW!" yeah i know, im holy. thx for reminding.

I dont listen to trance that much, even though i made one and im making one. i just, you know, have a different music taste. That's why I make music with different genres.

I just, dont listen to most old shool rave type music. But I do listen to house.

and stuff.
