music or vocals?

in general in a trance tune, what is laid down first?
are the vocals laid down, and the music made around it?
or the music made first, and vocalist sings around it?

Music first, usually. That's why the vocals tend to be so ridiculously generic.

Vocals are so wrong sometimes.

I dont like that many vocal tracks, they have to be of sheer quality for me to like them. ie Everytime, Skydive, Pearl River.

Prime example. 4 Strings slapped a vocal on the brilliant instrumentals of 'Into the Night and 'Diving' and made them sound hideous. In an sorry attempt to make them commercially viable.

it all depends on what the producer is used to .. or prefers....

Sad thing is, it worked remarkably well.
