eonmak Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 get hold of a few prime VSTi's like Zeta, Pro53, Absynth & albino to name a few (have a search through this section for info on VST's) Use these within the Live!4 environment and you are well on your way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Writing neat leads/basslines, picking the notes/rhythms. Making neat FX Making neat drum sounds Writing neat drums Engineering (getting all your FX, Leads/basslines to sound good together) Making Trance The first six are straightforward, if not easy. The last one can be tricky. Go here and read everything: http://tweakheadz.com/guide.htm It's not geared to trance, but it's a great starting point. Get your hands on a smaller sequencer program like Reason or Fruity Loops. I've never used Live, so I don't know if that's program to start with. Play with it some. Then read the manual. Then play some more, then read the manual again. Keep doing this until you are comfortable with everything in the program (should take several months if you do it every day). These programs will give you the materials to learn synthesis, sampling, EQing, compression, effects, arrangement, and much more. Then get a professional sequencer like cubase or Logic (though you can use Fruity for this too), a bunch of VSTis like Z3ta, Vanguard, and Albino, an effects package like Waves, and start writing some trance. As you come up with specific questions, ask 'em here! This probably seems like a lot of work... that's 'cause it is! If you really are meant to write trance though it won't seem like work at all, but play. And the rewards are... otherworldly. Good luck! peace, -fk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
