Awesome tutorial. I like to do things in a non-formula way. In other words, I keep the general structure there, but I make it my own style. If you were to use movies as an example — my music is like Pulp Fiction in that the structure is there for how movies go but it is done in a unique non-linear fashion.
I, like many others, learn EQing as I go along. But with trance music, everything needs to be loud and the bass and kick need to punch hard then you have a bunch of other things going on that need to be heard…. I read your one blog on how to mix trance music where you talked about starting with drums, snares, bass and so on, which helped!
Check my tutorial s about side-chain compression usage to get the idea or search in the Youtube for how to use sidechain compression in Pro Tools or Reason:. Check the link s below for good explanation how this works:. Great tutorial, been doing trance for over 10 years and it is nice to know I have been doing it correct for most of the time. I produced a track after following your tutorial.
It has been selected by a music submission company hopefully for inclusion in T. Really great tutorial and all website content. First, thanks a bunch for sharing the knowledge. Second, I wonder what is your thought on the role of chord progressions or the like, in progressive trance. It almost seems like the particular chords or melody are a minor part of it. However, I learned music as a guitar player and I start with chord progression and melodies that, to my ear, create tension and release much like you talk about with progressive trance.
But now it seems like all that music theory stuff goes out the window, as there is no place for worrying about I-IV-V-I progressions or whatever. Any thoughts? I have been producing trance music since 4 years. But one issue I always face is on the lower frequencies. What is the structure of lower frequencies? It a bassline necessary with the bass? If it is, how can I equalize them both, so that the kick has more room and harder thumping?
Hi, I Was always interested in producing and I tried one time using a cracked version of do studio just with my USB keyboard miditech start 3 or somethin like that without any interface etc. I tried a bit around and some nice chilled bpm trance chords are ready.

The most successful and memorable pieces combine all three of these factors.
The continued growth of AI in music is a subject that raises concerns around the potential loss of musical authenticity and about the continued erosion of job roles within the industry.
