This set of videos, by TranceMusicMastery’s Scott McLean, offers trance music production tips.
The first video, above, looks at how to create a trance arpeggio by hand using Ableton Live, Native Instruments Massive, and a sound set from Adam Szabo.
Next up, McLean looks at creating trance music basslines.
Next up, a tutorial on creating a trance pluck sound, like the one heard in Cosmic Gate’s Barra.
If you like McLean’s trance music production tips, look for more videos on his YouTube page.
COOL!
Wonderful stuff in here, thanks so much for sharing. Sure, some of those items (like the first where builds up with a mere c chord) looks very simple. But its "simple" examples and ideas which can actually help you build up your work.
I'm not a fan of trance music so to speak (as in; not going out to dance fests and such) but I do like several numbers and I really like some of those specific trance sounds. Got myself the free 'TranceDrive' VST just because of that. Alas; never done much with it apart from enjoying the sounds as a "fill up" on some sound scape ideas but this is something I'll be trying out later on for sure!
Awesome stuff! Ill be having fun this weekend with this, then. =)
It's an ARPEGGIO, darnit, not an arpeggiation!!
