    Hello fellow music travellers. I couldn't find any specific instructions for singles released, so please correct me if this is not the right place to post.
    Unfortunately I couldn't get the bandcamp embedded player to work (, so I used soundcloud instead. Link to bandcamp site provided as well.
    Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy this new track I just released.

    Love,

    Flexagon reacted to DJ Chien in Why no "dark and robotic" psychill? Psychill artists need to think outside the box....   
    Ok, strange cause I feel the exact opposite way (but hey, that's why forums exist ).
     
     
    We have to agree on what we call "psychill", but to me, dark and robotic Psychill has been around for a while.

    Everything is Terrific: The Bandcamp 2016 Year in Review
    https://daily.bandcamp.com/2017/01/24/everything-is-terrific-the-bandcamp-2016-year-in-review/
       
    most interesting parts:
    Bandcamp’s business was up in 2016. Digital album sales grew 20%, tracks 23%, and merch 34%. Growth in physical sales was led by vinyl, which was up 48%, and further boosted by CDs (up 14%) and cassettes (up 58%)
     
    ....
     
    The record business overall did not fare as well. According to Nielsen, it grew 3% in the U.S. in 2016, while sales of digital albums fell 20%, tracks were down 25%, and physical albums dropped 14%. These declines are not at all surprising given the industry-wide push toward subscription music rental offerings, and indeed as the year came to a close, those services reached a combined 100 million paying subscribers.
     
    ....
     
    As more people subscribe to music rental services, the already paltry rates paid to artists are going down (and no, artists don’t necessarily make it up in volume). But it’s not only artists who are struggling.

    Flexagon reacted to Delightful Imperfections in EQing   
    Some great advice here & excellent food for thought

    One thing that hasn't been been mentioned, I find doing my EQ'ing in short bursts, usually no more than 4/5 channels at a time max, is pretty effective. This way I'm usually working with 'clean ears' when cleaning my sounds.

    EQ'ing with tired ears usually ends up with me EQ'ing again.

    Flexagon got a reaction from Gagarin Project in help to promote this forum please   
    "we have been reposting all posts from website to twitter automaticall for 2 years"

    Something isn't working with the system then? The @psybient_org account hasn't posted since 17th October........................ and seems to only make around 2 posts a month. On a quick scan through it looks like none of the posts from that account either have hashtags or have tagged other twitter accounts. This means twitter users that don't already follow you are not likely to see the posts, and won't find out about the website or this forum. Also why you're not getting many likes or retweets/ shares.
     
    Twitter, just like facebook, isn't the answer to everything but if there is a decent way for auto-posting some of the content in the forum with relevant hashtags I can only see it as a good thing. How this would be achieved though I don't know!
     
    (I realise manual posting is something that would take up a lot of time so I'm not suggesting that)
     
    Agree that 1 to 1 promo always works best though. Posted about the forum last night too, will do some more

    Flexagon got a reaction from Matt Freak Flag in Delays in psybient production   
    I almost exclusively use Waves H-Delay when I mix. Covers what I need nicely with super simple interface.
     
    Did pick up Ozone's DDLY "Dynamic Delay" recently though, it's free until 10/3/16. Haven't had chance to use it properly but looks and sounds very interesting, certainly different. 
     
    Other than that I can certainly tell you what NOT to use, if you use a PC then Ableton and NI's Replika really don't play nicely together. Just having it in my plugin folder crashed Ableton on startup. Luckily I had it as another freebie so after googling the issue and finding it was common problem I just deleted it.

    Flexagon got a reaction from floyd2.0 in Soundcloud going bust?   
    Totally agree with Andorra, if soundcloud fails then it is a potential big loss for many artists, labels and fans. Like Andorra I've been a big user of soundcloud both as an artist, a DJ and a music fan.
     
    I signed up with soundcloud and mixcloud just as the copyright issues where becoming a problem for DJ mixes, so I've always kept to original material on SC and my mixes on mixcloud. Have seen posts from VERY upset DJs with big followings that have had their accounts with 1,000s of followers deleted with no warning. 
     
    A lot of people seem keen on bandcamp as an alternative, which it sort of is. Bandcamp is good at many things, but it's not social at all which is where soundcloud works so well.
     
    Just in case things do go pear shaped with SC I've made accounts with yungcloud (mainly US EDM and hiphop music on there at the mo) and orfium (which may exist purely to try and nab the youtube/ streaming rights for small artists, be careful with their "tick-boxes" and options Creative Commons people!) But they are both startups and I'd assume a long way away from any kind of critical mass. If SC does disappear who knows what will actually appear online to fill the gap?
