progressive house/trance mp3 up for grabs

[terence]

I like progressive house. Problem is, I think people involved in that genre take things too seriously. Everything has to be dark or tribal or this or that. People seem to have forgotten how to have fun with the music. That is why I made this fun little mix that I'm calling "Glowstick Fury 001", which is supposed to poke fun at the backlash that party-goers have faced in the past regarding the whole rave vs. club scenes. Anyway, enough with the explainations, just download the mix!

i like hard house/trance, d&b almost everything except for the girly vocals and jazzy stuff.

i have fruity loops 3 but i don't know how to use it very well yet. i've made some beats but i wanna learn how to compose in sections, use effects, buildups and samples. i haven't had the initiative lately but i wanna get some better sounds from a cd sample somewhere because the stock ones on there suck i think. Unless i'm missing a way to tweak it out somehow.

i really haven't been that motivated but i hope to visit the music store and see if they have samples. Cuz i couldn't live without my dose of electronic music.

i just downloaded it.

it takes like 10 minutes but it's pretty good.

what program are you using?

Wow gonna take about 7 minutes to download. Nice bandwidth. Gonna listen to it and give some feedback later.

CM: best advice I can give you is to avoid the "samples will make me better" route. At a minimum, collect and build your own library if you're starting out. When listening to music, keep an ear out for anything remotely useful. Sometimes the more subtle stuff adds the real sparkle. Also, if you're not adverse to it, liberate a copy of Acid. You can pitch shift the samples and do some rudimentary composing, while retaining the FL3 tracking feel. If you're even more ambitious, try Reason, which has a sequencer and synthesizer capabilities.

The only program I used was Sound Forge, which was used to record the mix. Everything else was my turntables, mixer, vinyl & cd. What did you guys think of the mix?

For production, I'm using Cubase SX & Reason.

Very nice! I'm not much into this genre of music, but I'm digging this. Thanks.

Okay listened to it twice. Mixing is tight and seamless. Interesting song to start the set off with, the RITM florida bass sound, but it did set the tone for the rest. Felt like it was really starting to peak near the end around 60 minutes in, wish it could have kept going for another half hour or so. Good stuffs.

Oh I love it. Subtractive and granularish synths, 2 types of samplers, drum machines, mixers, effects, pattern sequencer, full sequencer, all in one package. Hook-up to Rebirth and external MIDI mmm... okay the effects are kind of sucking but that can be fixed in mixdown.

Thanks for checking it out guys...ism's post reminded me that I forgot to post the tracklisting. Here it is:

Garbage "Milk" (R.I.T.M.'s Got It mix)

Ils "Muzik" (Gabriel & Dresden club mix)
Ben Shaw "So Strong" (Sander Kleinenberg Audio Paranoid mix)
MV "Hollow"

Some of the songs are pretty dated, but I didn't really care during the mix...

i havent downloaded yet-- will later when i'm at home... but i took a workshop at ECASU... about asian americans in the hip hop scene... and what it was about... was the history of hip hop.. and than they got into the different techniques of how to mix sounds and music... it was interesting... it definitley gave me a new perspective on this art form... when it comes to learning how involved it can get...

Oh yeah, Invisibl Skratch Piklz are one of the, if not best, turntablist crews. Lurve them. And they're mostly Filipino! Too bad they broke up.
