Hi guys, I'm the founder and editor of PsyTuts.

As Aciduss mentioned above, the idea behind PsyTus is to provide the community with easy to follow tutorials on psytrance production.

I'm taking all of the server costs, web design costs (I work in the real world as a web developer and designer) and maintenance costs on my behalf.

To give some background to who I am, my name is Peter Lehto. I was born in Finland, currently live in Cape Town. I've been a music enthusiast from since I can remember. I've been producing psytrance for 5 years and had the privilege to be taught by some of the finest producers in Cape Town.

I'm currently signed to Nexus Media and working on my debut album out at the end of 2011.

Anyways, I hope you like the tutorials we offer.

We aim to have at least 1 new production tutorial per week, bundled with album reviews, artist interviews and much more.

well like mad piper was saying that he had the privilege of being taught by some cape town producers. Some of those South African artists are really talented, and they definitely have their own sound which im sure didn't happen by pur coincidence. Not everyone has that opportunity to sit in a studio and watch another artist who writes similar music. So their is a lot to gain from hearing about how so and so does something that you weren't exactly aware of. Or perhaps needed that extra push in the right direction. I know the light bulbs have come on before when ive seen tutorials that have changed my entire way of working. But you are very much correct, a good mix is a good mix, but then again, a good mix to someone else may be horrible to a producer of another genre. Just a thought though. I do see your point.

Thank you all for your comments.

We do have a list of all the tutos we are thinking on making... if Peter is ok with it i can share it and you may add in any suggestion.

Thanks again for your vibes!

We want to cover most of the faqs around here, from the psysquelch to the arrangement issues. Always encouraging new producers to aim for their own sound. Perhaps the forum can become a place for more interesting discussion if we take the away the typical noobie tompics.

In tutorials i'll be writing you can expect a lot of straight forward directions on how to create particular sounds but also tips and tricks that will give you broad choice in soundcrafting.

Bare in mind that although many tutorials will be aimed for the beginner they will still need little understanding of basic audio concepts.

About the mixing of psytrance tutorial... i've something like this in mind but as it has been said there is no easy recipe for this subject. Great and detailed books have been written on this, you guys better start there.

A simple guide on how to think to better mix psytrance is something doable I'll keep it in mind guys.
