Is trance dying?
Does anyone else think melodic trance is dying?
I'm hooked in the trance scene for years now and i gotta say, its slowly dying 
first of all, theres too much prog i think, and more and more coming out by the day, and no more melodic emotional trance? what happened? and dont tell me "it's gotten old and cheesy"
if i put on a track for you, say Rank 1 - Airwave for example, you wont go "o that sucks, that style is old and shitty" 
garunteed ull love it! atleast i know i always will
anyways, where are all the melodic trance producers gone to? dont let the trance die so soon, we only been alive for 10 years or so, its too soon ....
what to do? 
I've never seen one of these threads before on tranceaddict.com!
should i congradulate myself or something? 
maybe no one has the guts to admit it 
rofl
Why dont you make some new melodic tracks 
I have to agree with you, and to be honest I couldn't really care less that there's been threads like this before...
Currently I'm listening to Armin van Buuren 7 Hour Set at Club Eau - that was only about 2 and a half years ago, but you can tell that it's still miles better than anything done more recently.
Not to say that there aren't good tracks anymore, or that the quality of DJing has dropped, but just that I don't enjoy the newer stuff. With the older sets you can start dreaming and lose yourself in the melodic trance, but unfortunately I don't get that feeling anymore. I guess all types of music just has to move on, and I think the golden years for trance (late 90's, early 00's) have been and gone!

First your on COR, here is where you talk about how cool you are if your drunk. Or what to do if 3 girls are hitting on you. Or even put a picture of your self here, asking people if you are beautiful and even explaining that you have a disease and thats why your overweight, but the same picture contains a big fat pizza.
If anything that dies here, it is humanity.

There are weekly 'is trance dying' threads Gingi, you know that.
Now, this isn't my idea, but one I borrowed from another is trance dying thread. Trance is rapidly going downhill because no one is doing anything new. Anyone who can crack fruity loops, reason, cubase, logic, and other software can easily make tunes that sound just like the newest ASOT release. This leads to alot of tracks that sound the same. Additionally, many of these people using cracked software have no background in music theory, so they just copy melodies, tones, and keys from existing trance songs. This leads to even less diversity. Finayll, there has been a HUGE collection of midi packages circling the next for the last 3 years. This collection continuously grows and is chock full of "classics" (aka the shit everyone liked 4-7 years ago). Since many of today's producers cant develop a melody themselves, it's way to easy to make a drum line, develop a few generic sounds and throw them over an existing song's MIDI structure.
Yes.

True that, in a way I can't wait for some of the bigger name DJs to start to lose popularity as the new DJs come along - hopefully they'll go back to playing smaller clubs where money is no longer an issue - just the music
Just my wish!

sunquest, i couldn't agree more.
The other weekend, I went out to a club here in San Francisco, called Folsom 1015. Thrillseekers was on that night and I was so excited to see him because he put on the best live set of my life just 2 years ago at an annual rave here in California. That set was amazingly melodic and emotional, and had me dancing with my hands in the air for the whole time. He played stuff like Mike Shiver - Feelings, Sonorous - Protonic, Insigma - Avalon (Midway Remix), and so on. But this time, at Folsom 1015, he dissapointed me with his set. He started out decently, playing some melodic stuff. But then he turned to dark, hard prog. What the fuck, Steve? I don't understand how you go from what you had 2 years ago to what you play now. The prog was the hard type where a harsh acid synth plays the same, 5-note sequence over and over again, and all that happens is drums develop and the synth's filter goes wild. But where did the melody - the emotion go?? I was disappointed to say the least.
More and more tracks are released on great trance labels that I listen to and just can't see what the hype is about. Just my 2 cents.
Stan.
Ah right, well to be honest I think the days of quality melodic trance are gone 
Back in the late 1990s, trance was new and producers had plenty of scope to create new tracks - new ideas etc. Now however, maybe that genre of EDM has been manipulated as much as possible... and we just have to move on

i'd say that this 'scope to create new tracks' really didn't matter
idk if you've noticed that there are still great new tracks coming out
just once a genre's been around for a while, then you can't just join the bandwagon and sound good anyomre
then you actually have to be creative and original, which is what everyone should be doing anyways!!!
