Hard-Trance-Techno-Acid-Dub!!

Another week, another track! The workflow continuous. This new track, we did last night, is in the same "spirit" as Trance05. Both are more some sort of Acid-Dub, rather than Trance. (Think Zion Train!!) But both also have the repetitiveness you would find in a good trance track. Get it from the download section but leave a comment if you please!

Two new free downloads!!!

In the "Download Section" there are two more tracks you can download for free. We created them the last two weeks (a track a week is the workflow right now!) and we are very happy with them. For now they are called "Trance04" and "Trance05" but these are just working titles. As soon as there are enough tracks for a full-length release there will be proper titles. We are currently shopping for a label btw. Anyway....hope you enjoy the tracks and please let us know what you think!

what do we have under the mixer

Here's a view under the Onyx 1620 Mixer at our main 19" box, the center of our set-up Live and in the studio.


From top to bottom our soundmodifiers are;
- a Lexicon Reflex for the rooms and ambiences.
- A TC Electronic D-Two digital Delay, a perfect musical machine that syncs to midi clock and has wonderful direct access to any needed functions, perfect for real time live control.
- The Waves Maxxxbcl, this one consists of the combination of a Renaissance Compressor, MaxxBass and the L2 Ultramaximizer in one 2 unit Hardware box. This is our main mastering processor and it boosts our sounds to the extremes, it's really wonderful. The first track we actually mastered with this machine is Trance05 and can be found in our download/Play section. Next in line is the
- Aphex Aural Exciter type III model 250, to add in some highs and extra clarity to the sound, but it can do more then that alone. Then a
- Drawmer DL441, 4 channels of direct inserts to the Onyx with autocompression and at the bottom
- A Quadraverb II specially good for the more odd special effects and noises with it's building block architevture for layering effects.

New Download

Here's a pre-mix of a new track we are working on which you can download. The working title is Trance03twee. It's done using a Siel DK80, Melodica, Korg MS10/MS20/MS50/VC10, EDP Gnat, Coffeefilter and a drumloop in Ableton Live.
Listen to it here and download it in the download section.



Hope you like it! Let us know!!
