-- Most Beautifull Musical Instrument In A Trance Song?
Pages (2): « 1 [2]

Piano for sure. followed by a nice guitar lick.

My favourite sounds in not just trance but EDM in general are warm pads (think just about anything by Chicane) and piano and/or strings, especially when used together as in the Thrillseekers remix of Chicane's Saltwater. I'd think of better examples but I really don't have the energy.

Acid. I'm a complete sucker for it in trance.

So you're saying every single realistic sound in every trance track ever is just sample playback synthesis?

Not every....but most. Like....99%.

You can tell because a genuine string being stroked has a different texture and timbre to it than a keyboard playing a sample of that string. Audio engineers, producers and electronic musicians have tried for years to replicate the unique feel and quality of string and wind instruments using keyboards, with varying degrees of success, but the end product still sounds artificial and....piano-ey. If you get my meaning.

Didgeridoo ftw!

Gouryella is real!!!!!

Bells too. i forgot about them.

I know it's not trance, but Timewriter's Remix of Mike Oldfield - Far Above the Clouds is amazing w/ the bells.

Violins. I've always loved Chicane - Offshore. Acoustic guitar, piano, and violins!

zomg....i forgot the best instrument ever:

100% Acknowledgement. I think, these instruments can't be synthesized sounding REAL ! Because it's the way you play them, that makes them special. And you can't e.g. simulate all playing differences of strings only with keys ! (I know for sure, as I play the violin myself) That doesn't mean that key instruments are less in value, but they're...different. You know what I mean...
You can't also simulate piano playing with a string instrument !
