Hi all How are you?

Please, I need the best virtual instrument or synth to make sound effects into a professional Psy Trance production... Can you help me? What is the best for you?

Thanks
Andy

Boy I wish I was in Rio..... Sounds like fun. I've hiked around the Amazon a bit, but that was a bit before Rio became such a hot scene..............


Anyways.........


Best for Psy Sound Fx? ReakTor, RapturE, or ZeBra. Take youR pIck

Hi Andy
Not sure if it is appropriate for professional Psy Trance production (although I don't know why, but then again I make dub/DnB), but G-Force's Oddity is well worth a look for sound effects.
I find that Oddity sounds brilliant and is great fun and easy to knock up new sounds.

(sorry if I have misunderstood Psy Trance though).
Thanks
Doug

Well, I think there are a million answers and, "practice," is worth more than the tools.

There is not really a "best", except the ones that work for you and it takes quite some time to work out the tools you feel comfortable using to achieve your sound, if you are not already there

For my own productions Alchemy is in constant use for creating psy trance sound effects, pads, atmospherics, mashing up drum loops on the breaks, bass lines, sample playback and manipulation. There's actually a group buy on right now so you can pick up a license for a big discount. See my sig links for the Camel Audio site, a fully functional three week demo is available.

Zebra is also a great synth for psy. Albino is very useful. uTonic (a percussion synth) is generally brilliant for tuned percussion and whizzy noises, plays very well with CamelSpace (a trance gate / filter / delay multi effect) for creating percussive movement.

Hope that helps!

Peace,
Andy.

If you are on PC and you prefer to use presets Karma FX is very highly regarded specifically for it's collection of psy trance sounds. It's really good

Vanguard also has some excellent psy oriented sound banks available. The IsraTrance community has quite a few free patch banks available to download.

Peace,
Andy.

Talking about Vanguard we have an ALL FX soundbank available for it on our site :

www.lelotusbleu.fr

128 Dynamic FX instruments, all controllable in real time, suited for every genre of electronic music

If you have Vanguard, just listen to the audio demos, then see if it would eventually fit your needs

absolutely shameless self promotion.......

Nobody has mentioned Sylenth?

How peculiar.



SYLENTH!

+1 all the way

Imagine my surprise

I hope you didn't injure yourself falling off your chair

So where's djanthony these days?

Tone 2 Firebird+ and Gladiator are great too. TBH It beats me how anyone expects to make "professional psy-trance" without knowing which instrument to use.

To learn how to produce professional psytrance check out the videos on cubaseguru.com. Also isratrance.com has some long threads on psytrance production.

Psy trance is about weird effects, right? In that case I would mention the effects from Camel Audio's CamelSpace (for which there is a groupbuy at the moment) and Tone2's Warmverb.

You can feed any synths sounds to these effects and get quite spectacular results.
