r/tranceproduction

2 of my fav artists are yachty and carti and I've always loved their trance/weird beats. I made this trying to imitate a sort of trance feel, but I feel like ive re-listened to it so many times I can't even tell if I think it works.

My main concern is that the chorus, drums, and lead are all doing separate things and I can't tell if they work together or just take away from one another. Can I have some help?

For reference, I really like the vibe of songs like Olympian, Wake up F1lthy, and WTFFF (I know I'm nowhere close, like I have an ego but I'm not delusional lol)

Advocating for the Moog (and other analogs) in a genre mostly known for using digital synths

I think it'd be pretty rad to hear more Sub37 and Messenger sounds in uplifting trance

What you all think?

Is it advisable to narrow the width of delays on leads for club play?

I've seen a few producers do this in tutorials and the reason they give is that in a club delay on full width can sound too wide and unpleasant.

Is that true? Do any of you guys reccommend narrowing the delay width or do you keep it on full width?

hey folks another quick tip for builds again

we all automate the filter cutoff on a build. open it up so it gets brighter into the drop, standard stuff. but often overlook is to try automating the resonance up at the same time. as the cutoff climbs, push the res up with it.

what you get isnt just "brighter". that narrow resonant peak starts to scream, and it sweeps up in pitch as the filter opens. so now your build has an actual rising note sitting on top of the noise, not just the filter opening up

then right on the last beat before the drop, pull the resonance back to zero. cleans the whole thing out so the drop lands without that thin screechy tail ringing over it.

works on a noise riser or your lead, anything sustained really. two automation lanes instantly sounds more deliberate and interesting.

Hope this is useful to anyone, simple stuff to some im sure, but others might not have tried this.

Haven't been making music in years due to personal issues but I feel I want to get back into it. I have a Steam Deck currently as my device got Windows on it. It's been an ok ride using it. Anyways, I can't find their website anymore and they're in splice now...what's the dealio with that? I just want to purchase Dave Parkinsons Vol 2!!!

hi!

quick question; I have an old trance song that I want to play at a party. but the vibe there is hard trance, so I want to add a bit of an harder (still trance) kick to the song. Is there an (easy) way to do this?

thanks!
