[Psytrance]Cybernetika - Shark (192 kbps, full)

Hiya,
Long time since I've been here last time
So here's a new track I just finished. It can be categorized as some kind of Full-On Psytrance. A bit more melodic than the usual Psy stuff I make, but still quite driving (147BPM).

Length: 7:46 mins
Bitrate: 192kbps
Filesize: ~ 11MB
Equipment: Fruity Loops 5, ReFX Vanguard, Linplug Albino

Here's the Link:

>>> Download Cybernetika - Shark

Enjoy it, and please give some feedback

Hey,
Listening .... Cool intro, bass line is pretty pro , nice Phat Synth. This sounds very Psy to me, but not really Full On, above all for the Bass Line . Nice use of FX, Production sounds clean to me, but I am using my PC speakers so I will skip that part, Nice Melodie at 3:09 .
In overal, this sounds pretty pro to me, I liked, it has the pure spirit of Psy Trance, great work man .
Kopi =o.

Thank you two for your comments

Really nice intro effects, great distorted bass, nice fast rhythm. Some of the intro sections of the song could be more detailed. Good psy kick and bass, nice mastering and great sound.

Good job using that laugh in the transition, that was nice

Really nice phat synths, great work man.

i know fuck all about psy and don't have a taste for the music, but this sounds well produced on the whole. i think you could fill it out with a couple of synths here and there. sorry to be so vague but i'm not really the person to point you in the right direction, it does sound cool though, especially the acids after 1:30


Posted by MegaMan on Apr-13-2005 00:28:

listening to your tune
i must say you've done an excellent job on this one
totally broke all sound barriers and made it sound PRO
nice at 1:34ish, i like those claps n acids
nice fucking bassline, sounds totally pro and psy to me
man, consider yourself a pro at baking psy tracks
the panning sound is cool, but its kinda too obvious that it been panned, if i were you, i'd make it pan but sort of so the listener wouldnt say its so obvious, thats what makes it tricky and trippy
nice at 3:55ish, change in a bassline, heard that in many tracks and like it especially

overall nice quality, i'd even say this track dosent need mastering
again congrats man, i see you as a major psy producer in the years coming up, just keep doing tracks like these ones


Posted by thoughtlessjex on Apr-13-2005 01:05:

I'm liking the lead at 5:07. Nice panning.

Holeee! Melody at 6:15 or so... I just fell in love with this track. It sucks that that moment was so ephemeral, but then that's the big disappointment about trance in general, I guess; it can't last forever.


Posted by cybernetica on Apr-13-2005 08:03:

Thanks guys for your feedback, I really appreciate your comments ... Luke Terry, probably youre right with your impression its lacking something, there are others who seemed to have this impression, so I think I'll add another layer with some kind of LFO action (the most challenging part actually hehe)
MegaMan: Yes, I think that panning is indeed too obvious, btw, I used the free FX VST "mda RoundPan" for it, makes it quite easy, hehe
Anyway, thanks again for your comments, I'm glad you like it


Posted by Xenocreator_PG_ on Apr-13-2005 08:53:

nice intro. nice bass drum.
1.31 I loven that panning distorted rhythm
2.40 those frequencies are insane
the hihats are sweet. Ever thought about adding toms & phasing bongos to your mixes? (just an idea)
4.00 yeeerrrr i like this....

Wow there were some moments in that song that were awesome. I loved it around the 5.00 minute mark when the panning rhythm that shacks swirled around my head.

Nice work Cybernetika.

Ok I like psytrance alot. I think it is pretty good, but it sorta is not that hardcore I think. I mean the stuff at 5:20 is cool... but I would add more sounds overall, it sounds really thin. When I think psytrance full on I think my ear is constantly being bombarded with sound. Also I like more vocal trip effects in psytrance or if not that then more rough leads. Like a bad ass fm searing lead that sounds like something burning rubber.

I mean it just sorta lack excitement for me right now, I feel like if you would put some more organized chaos on some of the parts it would be more interesting. All lot of full on psytrance songs sound like this, generic psytrance.

On the positive note, it is perfectly mastered and mixed. As well all the sounds you chose don't suck and sound good. Also it sounds professional overall, but I just don't think it is exciting enough in my opinion.


Posted by MegaMan on Apr-13-2005 12:08:

i disagree with you flashback, it dosent sound thin at all
unless your listening to it in a shitty headphones


Posted by cybernetica on Apr-13-2005 14:25:

Thanks for your replies Xenocreator and Flashback
Flashback, I think it is probably a matter of taste how wierd a track can go. In Psytrance, there are no real borders in exploring new limits of insanity and darkness, hehe. But this track was more planned as some kind of conventional full-on. I didnt want it to drift off into total madness, you know? ... but you got a point saying that this maybe needs another layer.

Hello Cybernetica,

at first, you�ve done a great job!
I normally don�t listen to psy trance but i like your track ...

Nice different basslines, panning is really cool!
Hm, i can�t say so much but i like it, was shaking my head when i listened to it ---> compliment

"Break" at 4:00 is really cool...

Well, and the cons?
I also think there is something missing. In my opinion it�s the depth... there is too much in front of your "box of depth", maybe a pad in the background will fill the space and add more depth..


But, great track!
Keep it up!

Nice work.

Your really drilling the shit out of vanguard to get those sounds man. The synth a 1.10 is spot on and really reminds me of the synth sounds GMS use. The one at 3.46 is excellent too.... very Green Nuns of the the Revolution. Man, this is all the stuff that I like! You never fail to impress me with your synth programming.

The groove is great, its drops down in complexity a few times but never looses its drive. I think you owe it to that funky ass bassline underneath it all. Its got some serious attitude.

I find that some of your tracks get lost in amongst all the layers and weird sounds sometimes, but not this one, it just keeps on. This would have to be my favourite one of your yet. Even better than Pitch Black.

Only criticism, is I think you could give it a major peak instead of all the smaller ones, but this is intense deep Psy, not the top 40 stuff so maybe your going for a more evolving soundscapes rather than a big peak and drop.

Hey mate!!

You know I'm not into psytrance, so if you see some signs of complete ignorance from my part, please forgive me.

I don't know why (I think is personal preference) but I don't like the zippy sound that goes with the Kick, it somehow manages to hurt my ears, perhaps, is because I'm not used to listen to this genre.

Nice FX Sounds and crippy-weird sounds in there.

Damn!! This track is crazy!! (In the good side, those snares or drums used 4:37, are neat!!!
Wow!! a panning synth, great there bro!

Except from the Zippy sound going along with the kick, I like every aspect of the track, oh, what was that? a laughing sound? didn't like that one either, but is forgivable and forgetable as I get into the complexity of the track as follows.

Nice Job!


Posted by Flashback on Apr-14-2005 06:19:

I guess I should check out your other tracks as someone mentioned those normaly have too many layers lol.


Posted by eulerfx on Apr-14-2005 16:57:

- really nice to hear some unique sounds
- that first bass/synth sounds a bit too harsh. make it a bit less dry sounding, but then again that would sound less like what you're trying to do i guess
- cool bass, but to complement it better i'd make the kick a bit more flat and deeper, with less higher frequencies. sort of like the kick/hyper-active bass combo Juno Reactor has in many of their songs as a backdrop
- those noise stabs sounds nice
- cool effects with the bass when the snare comes, but that laughing sample is kind of annoying
- like already, the track seems to lack more layers like your other tracks. i hear all sorts of cool layers in the back with various sounds, but there is just no enough. i want more.
- the lead sounds nice, but again more variation would sound better
- overall, the song could use some sort of background noise, like a swelling pad or some weird strings in the background to keep the flow going
- nice percs at ~ 4:30, but i'd use 'fuller' samples for the drum
- that panned synth at ~ 5:00 could use more automation, or some sort of fx, maybe reveerb. also try adding semitone jumps to the melody to give it that goa sound.
- that deeper bass after 6:00 sounds good
- holistically, the track is very trippy.

Thanks a lot for the valuable feedback guys: S-Tune, Axolotyl, PDM and eulerfx ... this helps me a lot.

My next track will be a very harsh experimental Psytrance tune, just like Psy meets Industrial


Posted by Stu Cox on Apr-14-2005 19:31:

this is excellent, i'm getting more and more into my psy-trance (as it seems is most of the rest of the world!) and it's good to see producers on here making some top notch stuff like this!

i agree that the lack of a big main lead means that it wouldn't be the biggest tune of the night (at a psy night at least... maybe at a hard trance night it would really stand out!) but not every tune has to be the biggest anthem ever.

good work

Well golly gee wiz cyber. I have always had a soft spot for PSY, and you have done it pretty damn good justice. Kick is solid. Percs are groovy. Maybe a little clipping? Or are my headphones crapping out?

Digging the effects. Likeing the toms.

All in all real solid. I'm a go play my infected mushroom cds. Later!

**playing: cybernetika - shark [05:12 | 07:46] / 192 Kbps**

NICE <3 the panning, makes my head hurt, i love it.

Bass is pretty solid too. Basslines are hard to do too.

EDIT: listening to it on repeat now, this is going into the car tommorow for better inspection and enjoyment. keep this up cyber


Posted by cybernetica on Apr-15-2005 12:43:

Thanks for the feedback
Yes, there might be some clipping, it sounded quite good to me so I decided to leave the track alone before clipping the hell out of it


Posted by MegaMan on Apr-15-2005 20:44:

anxious to hear your next track, as i myself have a secret obsession with industrial but hate and embaresed to admit it


Posted by MegaMan on Apr-15-2005 20:46:

i want you to make it so that 14k-16k go crazy, i think thats what your missing, some psy are just focused on that, and its sounds full in general


Posted by MegaMan on Apr-15-2005 20:46:

wtf, i am drunk, nah man, just do what you do, lol
