Ecstasy in Trance - No1 on MP3.com.au

I've just noticed that my track is made the number 1 slot in the trance charts of MP3.com.au. I'm really quite surprised this track has done so well. It's been out there for quite a number of years now, but still does well on various charts on the web. Thanks to all those who downloaded this track and made it rise to the top of the charts.

Production Equipment

Couple of people have been asking me what equipment I used to produce the preview mp3 below. Well, here it is in it's entirety.

Apple Logic Pro 7
Apple Logic Pro EXS24mk2
Apple Logic Pro ES 1, 2, E, M, P
Apple Logic Pro EFM1, EVB3, EVD6, EVP88, EVOC20
Native Instruments Reaktor 5
Native Instruments AbSynth 3
reFX Vanguard
Korg Legacy Collection Analog

Computer & Hardware

Apple Powerbook G4 17"
M-Audio Audiophile Firewire
Novation Remote 25 MIDI controller
Access Virus B Virtual Analog Synth

So, quite a bit. Most of the production is done in software, although I do occasionally use the Virus as it does have a lot of presets which I do use and also create my own. Probably the synth I use most is the ES2 and the EXS24mk2 sampler. Both can be found in the Logic Pro 7 software selection. AbSynth also gets a look-in.

When I think of the past, I realise I've been through quite a bit of various different pieces of production software...starting off with FT2 (FastTracker II) when I was an active tracker-scene member (was called HybridX back then, dunno why), Fruityloops, Cakewalk Pro Audio, Sonar, Cubase and now Logic. What will be beyond Logic is anyones guess.
