Hello Everyone
So Let's start my first post on this veeery helpful forum
I have created already many sounds with Cubase 5. I always face the problem that my music sounds too dark and dull (or clunk, not sure about the correct eng adjective )
I have no clue about Mastering and I'm not sure if this is what I would have to do after creating a track.
You can find an example of my latest production here:
There's also some other sounds there if your curious how the others sound.
If I compare my sound for example with this one:
(move to a bassline sequence)
I have to admit that professional sounds just sound much clearer and more open (don't know correct english terms). How can I achieve this? Or am I doing some little mistakes? Do I have to use EQ (not sure about how an EQ really works and what he does, played sometimes with it....
Thanks in advance for your help!
Much appreciated Greetings from Switzerland!

but yes, read all the stickies that were linked above - and above all try not to get frustrated, there is a LOT to learn and it will take a lot of time before you get a polished sound.

+1 for sylenth actually - this goes for anyone learning. It sounds stellar doing the classic things that psytrance is good for - sawtooth filter squelches, metallic stabs, hypnotic arpeggio/pluck sounds.
You can also coax a deadly fat bass out of it.

I already have sylenth... not used it very often yet.
Thanks very much for the links! and especially for the sylenth presets, will read/try them by tomorrow.
I also heard that there should be also a very good preset available for discovery here on isra but haven't found it yet
actually I also received a logic introduction from a guy who has a studio in my location and he taught me many great things... had to switch to cubase since the versions after logic 5.5 were not supported on pc anymore (shame on you, apple^^)..
hehe makus, did I mention that I don't really like to read? Ok no it's not quiet true but as I already have some knowledge it's sometimes hard to figure out what documents/books would be best to fill the gaps I have... That's why I like forums... Some ppl always come up with helpful posts that lead me to the next step in getting a better composer.
so gtg to bed now.. it's late already many thanks again!
cheers

Yeah +1 for Sylenth
but as well for Vanguard! its easy to shape psychedelic sounds in it, very easy, and with just a tad of patience and tecnique u will most probably endu with somethign wicked.

If someone of those who gave me tips is intrested I also posted my question from above on 2sound.de (a german composer forum) and someone there gave me also quiet good tips regarding EQ and other stuff that were really necessary for me to know^^ Here's the not-quiet final but almost final version! Guess I will replace the text to a better one^^
Thanks guys you were such a great help...
Everyone feel free to critizise!

This is not a question about Hardware. Software can sound amazing using the right soundcard, monitors and understand what you're actually doing.
The point here is to practice and practice and practice.
