Getting first step into trance

So i got this M-Audio Axiom 61....
I have learned piano when i was young...
So i know how to learn piano by myself even if i forget how to play it, i just need to buy music book and start playing it.
But how do i learn making trance music with this keyboard?
Can anyone help me? what do i need to know? Plus there are so many tunes in Reason...so i don't know which one to pick nor how to find the one i want...

So how and where should i begin with keyboard i have to be good producer.
How Dj tiesto kind of guys make music?

I don't know about Tiesto, but if you want to make some Minimal, just drop a cat on the keyboard.

The first step into trance would be to familiarize yourself with the sections of these forums.

get really familiar with the music, the sounds and the feel of it
then go to the production threads and read around for what programs are best for your desires

there is a forum dedicated to production talk...that can help you much better.
Go there. You dont need a keyboard to make dance music. Learn how to use the sequencer and instruments within it first before forcing the use of a keyboard to make trance. Using a keyboard to make music is as simple as having a sound interface that accepts midi, plugging it and setting your sequencer up to acknowledge it.

And if you want to make minimal get Crystal...its a free VST that I know minimal and techno producers use and abuse, its great and has very little hit on the CPU, and also Albino 2.

Hire people to do it for you and slap your name on the cover.

i was gonna say how great viktor cassanova is, but that is, off course from the Italoboyz

A good way to start, would be to recreate a song that you love/know by heart.

Best of luck! And have fun!

Endless love and trust in trance!!!

I hate to resort to this ol' one, but here's a nice video of Tiesto explaining how he works in the studio.
