Dude, you are an idiot. The guy asked for something important for him and you did such bullshit...
@Sidon: I have some Infected/Astrix/Shpongle/Astrax short midi files, they can help you! I'll find them at my home and send you soon. |

Yep, it's almost true. It's extremely rare to find psy midi files. I have only one IM complete midi track e some short ones. Fugga (member here) posted a post contained some psy bass/drumloop midis some time ago. I have them, I can reup them as well. |

I m sorry if I m not the kind of guy that likes to encourage people to copy other people s works...
Sonik AKB.I bet you d also love to be able to copy rather than create, that s why you got so upset with my answer, cause you also want easy midi files.
The important here is to seat your ... at your studio and do your own work. The world is full of copied Infected tracks....

Hi ,
The midi files are not for copying stuff , they are for learning !
any way if you do not want to share
or help then don't ...

Sidon

i personally learnt alot from the infected midi files and i really *really* don't want to sound like infected. One thing that struck me was how much the midi files still sounded like the originals, the music shone through despite the crappy synths used, i think alot of psy these days (including prog which im more in to) is too dependant on the sound design and not enough on the underlying musicality... being really musical is hard and studying the compositions of the 'greats' is a great way to help you along that path

The art of electronic music is a mix of music and sound design. If we re talking about abstract genre such psy, it would be hard to believe that a single piano could do the job. So you got to have both musical skills and synth programing skills (not to say studio skills of course). For genres such as dark psy, sound design will play a fundamental hole, even more important than musical notes. There s no formula. It all depends on where you want to get with your music.
If you re into prog, listen to nice albuns and artists a lot, research your own ideas, think of new sounds, ask yourself what could be better in their tracks, ask yourself what would you change, experiment. Most of the real famous guys spent a lot of time with hard work, trying, experimenting. Ask yourself what has not been done so far. What should be brought from other music styles into your productions, how to be original?.
I d advice you to listen to AEROSPACE s album called Earth. It s by far, the best prog album in 2006, and one of the best of all times. What a pice of art by Guy Shanti...

why not simply listening to the people tracks would be enough? I don t need anyones midi files to learn from their tracks at all.

Besides that, if the world had a lot of IM copies, it would be more funny, but what I see is a lot of Skazi/GMS/Astrix copies.
I get really upset with the psy scene production. Before I came to Isratrance, I listened dutch/german trance, and always was on TranceAddict forum. There, the people used to share a lot (midis, sound design tips, good tutorials, patches and much much more). There is a site (don't remember now) with more than 4000 GOOD midi files for dutch/german trance scene. This site started from TranceAddict and with the help from some clever TA's members. These midis were very useful for me, when I was taking piano lessons and studying musical theory on school.
Several years ago, I learned a lot with old members on Isratrance as well (thanks to Mike A, Nectarios, Colin OOD, Spindrift, Boobytrip etc.).
But today, the psy scene seems to be very closed, even on Isratrance. The people that has some better knowledge about production, don't share, or worst, make joke about the newbies.
And ess765, if you are professional, and would listen my sound design (yes, I'm a creative guy sometimes) extracted from my Piranha Tapes studio, you are welcome to send me a PM. Who knows if you can't like and use my samples and ideas in the future.
Peace. |

i hear your advice and its all good, however do keep in mind that when studying music classically you do an awful lot of analyzing other scores by well known composers, people write whole thesis's on the analysis of some classical works. Theres more than one way to learn and you learn however you feel most comfortable. In any case i bet you most people would open up the midi, go 'cool, thats whats going on', close it and go about their own stuff. I could open up a mozart midi, have a poke around and still find it *very* difficult to write something in a similar style.
there is a huge difference between learning and plagiarizing.
anyway, good luck with your music mate

Sidon is in a phase of learning. Studying other peoples work doesn't necessarily mean copying it later on.
Imagine how it would be to learn to play the piano without practicing with famous songs like "jingle bells" and "mary had a little lamb"  I mean, should the student avoid playing those silly songs cuz it would risk his/her future originality? I don't think so Well, kinda far-fetched analogy maybe, but there's some point in it.. |
