Hey, great video Juan, I really enjoyed it alot. And I am particularly fond of the arps it the background. Very proggy and bring depth to the composition. 🙂

About the “message”, you say is a subjective opinion, but it is exactly what I think as well (and the possibility of it being an objective truth is quite big). Especially the part concerning “the hyped tools”.
As the saying goes “It’s not the gear, it’s the engineer”.

[subjective arguments]
In pursuit of the next big hit and commercialism, all by means of over-priced and over-hyped synths/daws/plugs, we end up having tons upon tons of over-produced, soulless and mediocre tracks all around, deemed pro simply by virtue of the tools involved and money spent, pffff.
Sad that art has become a faculty of those who can afford it, and turned it into industry and business. 🙁

Btw, it is a good opportunity for me to thank you for your great tutorials. They helped me tremendously when I first started using Podium and drastically shortened the learning-curve. Thanks mate.

A strange synchronicity is that today I myself am working on a short teaser/medley of some of my goa/psy tracks, exactly for the same reasons, all done with Podium Free and Freeware plugins, as a futile attempt to show what is possible with these “non-pro” tools.

Sorry for the Xiosynth. May you have an Andromeda A6 one day 😀

All the Best.

Peace and Best Vibes
