You should check out this thread: http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...402&forumid=12&
There's alot of good sets in there, you should definitely listen to the goa mix from Oakenfold in 1994, it's in that thread.

90's trance was pretty dope, no vst's existed, it was all analogue and it had soul and warmth and phatness

No. Producers used samplers and digital synthesis as well, like Yamaha DX-series, Korg Wavestation, Roland JV-series etc. For example, Gerald Becker aka Virtual Symmetry used only Ensoniq ASR-10 sampler. But yeah, no vst existed before 1997 and trance had soul. It was originally subgenre of techno, that's why it was more underground and wasn't that formulaic than now

Essential Mix 4 - Pete Tong // Paul Oakenfold (1996).

Fantastic stuff. Still have the cassettes actually!

well usually the samples that where in those samplers came from analog sources becuase vsts didn't exist, and yes i have the yamaha DX7 and it sounds way better than any vst i have and their both digital. Plus not everyone who made trance had a dx7, it varies, kthanx.

and the samples from the JV series had to come from analog source cuz vsts didn't exist in the 80's ooh double snapper

Yeah, people should use samples more than vst these days, if they haven't got any analog hardware. Vst generated "analog" sound is shitty compared to real analog. I agree trance was mostly based on samples from analog sources in 90s, so it sounded better in most cases than any new trance generated by vst "anaglog" synths. But if you ask new producers to use samples instead of vsts, you will get an answer "you can do anything with software if you know how". Those fucking amateur producers haven't heard any hardware ever

exactly everyone says that, its just a word of mouth.

here i'll do a comparison, Analog Bassline Vs Vst Style Bassline

Pulser-My Religion Vs 8 Wonders-Sex On The Beach

Now they are both talented and i bet they can ahieve the same theoritcal results portrayed by the ta amatuers in TA productions page when trying to ahieve the richness and quality of an analogue synth using a vst.

and yes the pulser track has more soul, you can see why

Look for the Jason Porter mixes posted a couple of months ago. Otherwise you can look also for the old essential mixes or the clubnight sets.

Because the definition of a newb is someone who's been producing for five years, someone who spent much of his free time in that period reading about synthesis everywhere he could find it. That's totally what a newb is. It's certainly not someone who doesn't know the difference between you're and your.

And no, and I can't see why the Pulser track has more soul. I think you're just convincing yourself of something you already believe.
