Community Q&A
- QuestionI am a Trance music producer. My productions are great, but I don't know how to release them. What should I do?
Community AnswerTry putting your stuff on Soundcloud and other music platforms. It may take some time to build up an audience, but if you keep putting your stuff out there, and it's good, someone will take notice. - QuestionWhat piano is used to make trance?
BardCommunity AnswerUsually synthesizers. - QuestionHow do I make a trance which makes everyone on air?
Community AnswerUsing white noise through a filter using automation to open and close the filter over every 8 bars. Use a high simple string patch mixed way back usually the root not of the key you are writing in. Reverb with a long release with a subtle sidechain. Watch the reverbs in complex areas, or you'll end up with mud. Most producers automate the reverb tails and eq very carefully.

Tips
- Be patient with yourself, and don't give up. You'll need time, and lots of it. Your first track probably won't be your best. All of the mentioned software will be expensive and complicated to use, but it will pay off.Thanks
- Try to be original and develop your own sound. This is obviously easier said than done, but if you are looking for fame, uniqueness is what defines any musical artist today—whether through sound, inspiration, or character.Thanks
- Try to separate yourself from the music. Pretend that you are somebody at a dance listening to your song. This is especially important, as it will help you improve in areas as needed.Thanks
Caution
- All forms of music are little more than variations on what has come before. There is no excuse, however, for committing an act of plagiarism. When creating music, remember that you are building not only on the work of others, but on your own set of artistic skills and musical ideas.
- Repetition is key, but be careful to ensure patterns flow well into one another and loop seamlessly. If you can easily "tag" where a looping melody or sound begins or ends, then you may have a problem. Try to improve the loop's transition, slow down the effect, or simply use something else.
- Although sometimes appropriate for certain genres of electronic music, such as Hard Trance, try not to use trite and overly-emotional instrumentation and melodies in excess. Synthesized strings are usually the biggest culprit in cases like these. Trance should be compelling and emotional, but not comical.
- Think of trance as a puzzle; if you make it complex, it takes more and more of your listener's understanding to get, if you make it simple, vice versa. Generally make trance as you see fit. Because no matter what, you always finish a puzzle you start regardless of how complicated it is.
