This one is a proper oldschool uplifter, nothing else. It could be named “uplifting trance tutorial” and you wouldn’t suspect anything. Simple and catchy arpeggiated melody inspired by my all-time favourite duo Nu NRG.
Enjoy!
The project actually originated from testing new plugins available on Black Friday – just dropped my favourite presets and very generic melody from Orb Producer... and the Dune 3 default preset arpeggio. Agressive, glitchy bassline comes from iZotope BreakTweaker.
In this video I demonstrate how to create an acid bassline with as many as 8 different synths:
This includes basic patch, full track mix tips as well as a variety of sound design variations for all subtractive synths that I own.
Yep, hard acid basslines are a commonplace in trance music and also a part of my signature sound. You can hear some in a number of releases like Valor, The Beauty of Darkness, Scythe and grab some freebies like recent 42, Jihad or Inhuman.
Hope you find this video helpful.
While I’ve been on holidays in Kenya (absolutely amazing!), another tune got released. Now need to keep the listeners updated 😉
The Beauty of Dakness is a nod to older dark trance anthems that used to be popular in 2000 – 2010 period, but seemingly got forgotten in favour of banging uplifters. Still, Aftertime Records, usually releasing my psytrance tunes, seems to be interested in this kind of sound. So here it is!
Hear it on Spotify or Youtube.
Another month, another release. This time on Sampler 006 thanks to friendly label Mindlifing Bundles (part of Tecnomind Music).
This one is a bit dark melodic tune that for some reason reminds me of 80’s synthpop. Either way, it flows nicely. Finally nailed it.
Another one on Aftertime Records. This time I tried my skills on melodic psy endeavour.
Hope you enjoy this new style! It’s the first time I tried it, but not the last 🙂
A new video on a simple, but crucial topic that many people don’t get quite right.
This is my best.
Loudness War channel is back! This time I made a walkthrough for a Gullfoss automatic EQ against a number of common sound types.
More will be coming. With decent recording setup and state of art video editing software – DaVinci Resolve Free – I can quite easily create a plenty of videos in resonable time.
Now this is a very hot topic: A different take on how to (not) compress a track.
This is going smooth and quick. This time also featuring my actual not-yet revealed project.
The project started somewhere in autumn 2018. I wanted to have banging tech with dubstep break, acid and uplifting lead… as it turns out, that was too much to fit in a single track. A study of failure.
