Psychedelic Trance, often referred to as ‘Psytrance’ is probably one of the most iconic genres in electronic music: It has a very distinctive, energetic sound and requires some solid skills and knowledges to produce.
In this week’s Instagram post, we intend to recommend a few free audio plugins that bring interesting features for the genre.
Of course they’re not just for Psytrance, and you can add them to your pool whatever genre you’re into without spending a dime.
