Howdy folks. I mainly (try) to produce psytrance but have attempted my first uplifting trance track.

Any feedback welcome. I'll note that I do have a 2nd revision of this which is "nearly done" which adds a bit more low end and shortens the track slightly, mainly cut from the middle section.

@xplunka I know there is a bloody lot of them and hard to decide sometimes. Alot of trial and error. One of the easiest synths I use that I find also helps teach you the sound design aspects (Mainly cos it's so slick to use and the visual feedback is amazing) is VITAL, and it's FREE 🙂 There is a massive amount of amazing free presents out there for this, which can be used as is or used as a a starting point and you can play around with them. Hit me up if you want the presets shared.

@Sib3r I actually have the free version of Vital and I´ve been neglecting it. Gonna explore it more and yes, I would like to grab my hand on those presets. 😀

Being a rock guy 🙂, I´m just discovering the synth world. I have Serum (of course) and a bunch of other synths laying around my daw. What is your opinion on Pigments 6? Thanks n Cheers!

@xplunka I'll round them up for you when I'm back on my workstation 🙂

So I don't yet have SERUM... I'll get it one day but I'm a bit of a cheapskate.

I do have pigments, I managed to get Pigments 5 for about £70. And of course they have just released V6 and I get a free upgrade so need to test that out. Pigments 5 though I have enjoyed using. I feel if it was slightly more slick like vital it would be perfect.

@Sib3r Thanks! That is going to help a lot!

They have an intro price for Pigments 6 for 69 euros. I think I might buy it...especially because of the free upgrades. I´ve watched a demo in Youtube and although it looked a bit complex, in a medium turn, it might turn into a power tool. 🙂

@xplunka I would completely recommend it at 69 euro. Worth every penny. You also get each versions presets to play about with. Very powerful synth that I've not yet had time to fully explore!!!

@xplunka @sib3r Pigments is definitely worth getting. Some really nice sounds in there.

I still didn't install the upgrade to 6 yet though. Have either of your tried it? I'm gonna watch some YouTube videos on it now and see whats new...

@xplunka Awesome. I'm gonna do the upgrade when I get to the studio today. The v6 updates looks good. I watched this video on it earlier.
