Well if you are having trouble you have come to the right place. I have been making music for years now and im h ear to show you how. I have been there too when i first made my first track i was so happy to upload it. once i did i got a rude awakening that my track was not  ready and i had a lot to learn. So i know what you are going through. Afterall  i made this video just for you. Yes for you the newbie! Yes i want you to learn so do watch the video.

Making Trance from start to finish



Hello people i finally have published my trance tutorial. You can finally see my workflow on how i make trance. You may just learn a thing or two! My aim is to teach newbies or anyone who wants to learn . Some info in this tutorial may be known by producers who have been producing a while. So if you been producing for a few years or months this tutorial is not for you.


                            What is in the video

In the video oi go over everything from scratch . I start with finding your percussion,building programming the drum loop and percussion,programming the 303. Programming the rolling bassline. programming  the arpeggios . The pad, the main riff,programming the automation and so forth. The only thing i left out was fx and programming fills. As i did not want the video to be like 2 and half hours then have an epic 15 minute trance track at the end. i wanted to  keep the video as short as possible. Anyone uploading a 25 minute video of how to produce trance from start to finish may be leaving a lot out. Or he may have done a lot of stuff behind the scenes . Me i leave nothing behind as i want you to learn.

                               Resources 

To get the most out of the video you hopefully have read some of my earlier blogs. If you have not take a look here  first so you have all the files you need to follow along. Below are some of my earlier blog posts which will be helpful when following along in the video.

So if you need to know how to make any of the sounds in the video so you can follow along  check out some of my earlier blogs below


If you have some sounds already or you are just going to use some default presets to follow along in the tutorial it is all up to you if you need to see these earlier blogs.  I just thought it would be a good idea to have you head over to some of these earlier blogs to create these sounds first in Ableton 

Once you get good you may want to have your own sound library of samples ready to be used at a moments notice. You can get some cheap sample packs here.  Thats all for now i hope you enjoy the video and if there is any video you would like me to make,any questions you have just leave the comments in the comment section i will respond asap.

the original edm bands from back in the day

What happened to the original  edm pioneers. Growing up in the 70s and 80s I was a product of mtv and was into the underground club scene.Though I started out in the school band and playing instruments,then led to djing,and mix tapes  ,break dancing the whole nine you name it,I was doing it. For quite a while I was into freestyle in the 80s. Then all of the sudden something came over me and I just fell in love with  techno for some reason and of course the progressive house/trance movement in the middle to late nineties.
