Future of Trance[Does it matter???]

Hi, I was wondering what do you guys
think about the future of trance music...
more uplifting/epic, progressive, or kindof
tech-trance...Do you guys think about this
kindof stuff when you produce??? Trying
to push the edge of the trance sound???

I for one want to see it move back towards
a techno-trance sortof vibe...getting a little
tired of this build up, breakdown, rinse repeat
kindof stuff...

...Yikes...

trance still has a big folowing and it seems is still kept alive due to some of the the other genres you talk of manly tec trance.
the more up lifting stuff in most cases is largley in the mainstream.

but i think the more progressive and downtempo is whre it all lies at the moment witch is fine with me cos me likes this shit

We're going in a steady mixing of genres, the two "camps" of the generic uplift and generic electro are getting bashed with techier stuff (and I mean techno stuff, not some pussy 'hardstyle' that acts like "techtrance"), which, combined with the percussive style of minimal, that's getting deeper and deeper into trance world (which is awesome btw), will produce some really really good music.

Taking the best elements of the genres, mashing them up into something that purists would never define as trance, but, is still more trancy than anything.

Last great shake of the scene was introduction of electro, premiering with Life Less Ordinary (in lesser measure in This World Is Watching Me, but neglectful at the time), but that was quite a few years ago, scene adjusted, and we've gone quite a long way from that, mixing up different genres together, that make quite awesome pieces of music, think Seven Weeks for example.

The uber popular Discover sound of 2005-2007 got overplayed, nothing new was coming up, everybody used the same pluck from virus, the first tracks were top, then everything sounded the same and it died on itself. Same was with the first wave of electro-trance, now with the introduction of minimal techno elements into trance, options are pretty much limitless, but we'll surely be seeing a lot of good mashes in the future, going more towards electro-minimal, but with a trance drive. Still very danceable music that'll headline the genre.
Of course the generic uplift will never die, since it still attracts a lot of people (but mostly newcomers to trance), afterwards it gets boring listening to the same b and a minor progressions at 137-138 bpm and people like to switch to some more 'advanced' sounds, but I'm getting a bit off topic slowly

have you ever notced how you get bored of uplifting and you have not been out for a while. Then a big uplifting tune comes on and your like yeah man I got to go make some uplifting then after 30 mins wth nexus set to arpeggiate me at 138bpm you think nah....best just leave it.

not for a while actually , ive been on a roll for a bit now , the last 6 projects ive done , ive completed! , im quite impressed actually with my self.

I wish everyone would stop talking about genres and just try and make some original material, instead of always copying other people's sounds, or trying to re-create the exact patches used in other people's tunes.

i'm not sayying i'm completely original (something entirely impossible), but i've never gone into a tune going "it has to fit with x other song, or genre"... i feel like if people did that the EDM scene would be a much nice place

ahhhh monday rage feels good

FYI

All of your completed projects must be sent to me!

I agree.

It's okay to take great songs as models, but they should be starting points, not blueprints that you imitate down to the last filter settings on your synths.
