Old School vs Modern Psytrance Production

[@jimvermeer9451]

Old school is the best every artist came with new ideas instead of sounding all the same these days! Also emotion was central in the Old school psytrance. Yes let get those Grooves back Thanks mate and God Bless you

[@fallenleaf24]

I agree with you there.. in this age it's all about production. where it was about how it shaped your trip, it was completely emotional driven. after all this was Acid music. Modern tracks seem to be very sound showcase over how it makes you feel. I grew up in Goa 80 - 90s so I amvery bias to the original sounds

[@EClipChannel]

Blessint to you too! Will give my best!

This video not only shed light on the intricacies of music production but also resonated with my own journey in the psytrance world. Having been a passionate follower of psytrance since ’98, a DJ from 2000 to 2008, and someone who has organized parties, the evolution of psytrance you discuss mirrors my own experiences with the genre. Your insight into the shifts in production values over the years aligns with my observations and reasons for my changing relationship with the music. Despite my extensive background in the psytrance scene, I’m taking my first serious steps into music production. While I’ve dabbled in production since 2000, it was only recently that I decided to dedicate myself fully to learning the craft. This makes me a beginner in the realm of production, navigating my way through the practical aspects of creating music. My theoretical knowledge, built over years of involvement in the scene, is now being challenged and expanded as I delve into the hands-on process of music creation. Your videos have been instrumental in bridging the gap between my theoretical understanding and the practical skills I need to develop. The balance between sound engineering and creativity, a theme that runs through your content, speaks directly to my current phase of learning. As I take my ‘baby steps’ in production, your guidance on how to nurture both the technical and creative sides of music making is invaluable. The timing of discovering your content couldn’t have been more perfect. It feels like each video answers specific questions I have at the moment, aligning with discussions I’ve had with friends and reflecting my own thoughts on music production. This serendipity has been a source of motivation and reassurance, encouraging me to pursue my passion for music production with renewed vigor. Thank you for sharing your expertise and experiences so openly. Your authenticity and the educational value of your content have been a beacon for me as I embark on this journey into music production. I’m grateful for the knowledge you’ve imparted, which has been a crucial part of my transition from a seasoned member of the psytrance community to an aspiring music producer.

[@Ratonaut]

11:48 I do prefer the modern version. I'd rather pick the precise definition on the high end, it sounds more complete for my taste. I wonder, what did producers use to create the kick back in the 2000s ? Thank you for this video!

[@aandonovski]

'90-'00 was mostly using roland drum machines out of the box. they still sound great even today.

[@EClipChannel]

It does sound better when we compare the sound quality, but if you do not listen as a producer, if you hear it as a listener, you can notice how it loses depth!

[@papadaya3540]

This is great news! I share your taste when it comes to the more old school style - which I mostly have found in the progressive house lately but it isn't quite the same thing. You really got something going there, was a great start of a deep and hypnotic vibe

[@EClipChannel]

Yes, there's a new wave, a lot of young artists are making ‘90s house music, and they do it pretty well. Somehow they inspired me to go through the older music I love!

thanks man for this insight of yours

[@AtherisPsy]

Quite interesting seeing this video as I was certainly introduced to the more new school psy but I feel the oldschool feeling resonates with me more, the floppy but punchy kicks and the deep bass reminds me of alot of Trance my dad used to play when I was a kid, something about that deep punch with the kick without have the overpowering click thats in newer tracks. Personally I go for alot of my kicks in between that really clicky and kind off just thumping bass with a dull click if that makes sense, they seem slightly better in some mixes in my opinion I suppose it is just preference

[@EClipChannel]

There's nothing wrong with the click on the kick of it matches with the emotion of the track! The problem starts when you try to use some deeper emotion with the “new-style” production. There’s a conflict!

[@JessicaMorgan-ko5eo]

This track is so STUNNING Bro. I remember back in the day.... Ticon's We are the Mammoth Hunters and Liquid Soul's Go Reality as the first tracks for me that sounded like this....that early 2000s sound. I remember all the Spirit Zone and Flying Rhino djs adopted this sound really quickly

[@anthonyclark9004]

I'm a fan of old school Goa & Psy Trance. Modern Psy Trance definitely uses difference kicks. It also treats bass lines differently. There used to be a lot more difference in the rhythms. A lot of my favorite tracks from back then used the same riff or theme in bass and the various leads. They paid less attention to making sure the kick and bass don't compete. The lower frequency kicks with less of a click helped as they competed less with the bassline. In my own tracks, I use Synapse Audio's EKS-Pro VST (Electronic Kick Synthesizer). I can get a deep Goa style kick out of it. The VSTs click leaves something to be desired; sometimes I'll modify it with other impact sounds or one my transient shapers. Another disturbing trend in modern psytrance is what I call kick, bass, & chaos style productions with no discernable pattern or motif in the form of leads. All the mid and high frequencies are filled with bubbly SFX/ear candy one shots. I hesitate to call these trance. The human mind likes patterns and repetition. The only repetition in these is the kick and bass groove; I quickly lose interest in the chaos and it becomes like a walla used in film production. One of these tracks in a mix isn't so bad, but I've heard sets where every track is like that.

[@infera666]

Bro can you make a remix contest on that track if possible? I would love to try to work on it. And as usual, amazing video

It is happening in all creative genres, like music, film, art... We are fascinated by the technology, and we missed the feelings. That is the reason because I decided to delete my Daw, and I started to work only with old hardware devices. I am not focused on the technical process or on the screen, and I work more with my ears instead of my eyes.

[@EClipChannel]

Good point! Hardware can help you get deeper into the particular segments and elements! It’s a different workflow

[@modulartheory]

@EClipChannel Yes, as you mentioned, nowadays, kick and bass technique affect the final product very clearly. Also the modern music production techniques change the rules. Music becomes so sharp and aggressive. I can see all producers talking about the technique skills but nobody about musicality skills, inspirations, feelings, develop a history... as the teachers used to do in music schools. The tools we have in our hand affect our capabilities of be focused and the workflow very hard, as well as the final product.

For me old school is still goldmine. Yes the today psy trance music has the perfect crystal clear and powerful sound, but lacks from musicality. Many artists from the old style had their own style and identity, something that does not exist anymore. For me the golden age was from 1996 to 2002 and i still get insires from that period.

Nowadays psytrance sounds the same, its quite a shame. Back in the days we had clever mood swings, emotional ambience and there was a full story in each track. I hear this many times from the listeners. "Old school full on or psytrance doesnt let you trip and fly high, the constant breaks and builds ruin my trip the whole party" I feel sad listening to this because it shows that people are more focus in getting high and dont come back to earth so often. I grew up with many diferences between artists, you could identify artist because of his wonderfull bassline progressions, others because the amazing groove they delivered with few shots and stabs. This Forest Psy and glitchy leads all the way, randomness that doesnt feel right, bassline very ducked and just focusing in repeating leads. I always try to learn new things with everyone, but looks like theres no one I would "follow" at the moment. Nice video thank you 😁

Well, Darshan and James, that’s a story for all times! I think those who have the patience to listen to this music will understand it straight away.

Kao da me čuješ, čekam ovakvu temu već neko vrijeme... A raspravljam o tome već godinama s nekim ljudima. Još sam htio pitati u čemu je kvaka, da nam malo pojasniš. Ne bi rekao da je struktura traka bila puno drugačija, nego sami dizajn. Sve tamo do neke 2012-2013, taj stari zvuk ima posebnu čar, ne znam zašto. To jest, nisam dosad mogao shvatit zašto. Mislim da čak više dolazi do izražaja kod rolling aranžmana i to negdje do 140 bpm-a, djeluje mi ozbiljnije od modernog zvuka. Preko toga poprima malo drugačiji feeling. Rekao bi čak da možda moderni zvuk brže postaje izlizan. A nisam inače zatucani zagovornik "old school"-a, i ne mogu reć da mi se ne sviđa novi tip. Možda je i do samih traka, danas je tržište vrlo generično. To je što se tiče kičme, kick-a i bass-a. Uvijek nekako povučem paralelu na "Beyond Gravity", "Eternal", ili "Psy tribe", i Red Dust (Ectima rmx), Nerso starije trake..... To su mi neki naj primjeri, i baš je bazen dobrih traka sa ovih prostora.. Općenito, čini mi se da moderni zvuk više daje pažnje single zvukovima, do nekih high-tech razmjera, dok je stari zvuk gravitirao oko sekvenci.

Technology is definitely better today, but still, I think that was amount of options is pushing artists away from the idea! If you have only a few synths, you will devote a lot more time on it.

[@mentaldyslexia]

​@@EClipChannel Indeed! I like to remind myself that more is less, specially when it comes to art! The most important thing in the end remains to find your own expression, even in this ever growing market, and there is nothing that really compares to that feeling when the synths are singing the tunes in your head and it just happens to fit perfectly with your kick and bass !

You have to make stupid music No skills needed and this is how it sounds like. Every Third person that makes that music before he release it. He promoted like this is going to be a killer track. This is like something you never heard before and guess what??? again ,it’s a garbage. Absolutely wing of time for me to listen to the new stuff they are all crap and low quality. None of them is knowing what he’s doing. And it’s a big shame. They are using only 5% from the power of 100% They Don’t really know what they’re doing If you want to get example for it, I tell you very simple example: Good music you Want to listen over and over and over and over and over and over and over… You’ve got the point. And this new Music that been around for a while you don’t even want to listen all the way to the end And honestly I’m not even talking to listen to it again because it’s not going to happen, so it shows how bad is it… So yeah, I think this is the most important video you ever made and by the way I do like your music because you bring something different… It’s all about being different and unique Keep up the good work I wish it was more people like you In the industry. That’s all I have to say.

[@nathanbell6962]

Not speaking about psytrance but Goa trance its exactly the same. The neo- goa movement is pushing the kicks with high frequency and machine gun basslines. I think its about producers wanting to appeal to the mobile phone crowd to get more exposure. I much prefer the old style of more rounded kicks and walking sub bass grooves. Even some of the early Goa without a bassline and instead using the leads with extended low frequency's sound really good. Most leads these days are hard cut under 500hz or so so not to interfere with the kick and bass.

Bass without punch and a bright middle sounds very hypnotic. More psychedelia. A clear bass, moreover, with the 1st note of 3 muffled by the sidechain, break and kill the trance groove.
