What percentage of your production time is focused on trance?

Let's test the popular perception of this forum as a den of supersaw fanatics.

i had to vote 20-40 as i consider progtrance and psytrance as subgenres of REAL trance. and i do those. but basically im too underground to be labeled.

I chose less than 20%, because I don't do trance, but I definitely incorporate stylistic elements of it.

As a back-ground synth, I've chosen to use a supersaw like sound, a couple of times.

Deep Eddie Zilker - Superstition by EddieZilker

The last time is right where I just put a timed comment on Superstition. It's playing a counter-melody.

voted 60-80%

Trance is where its at..

Definitely 0%

I am a trancesexual at heart, since that's how I got introduced to the club world. That said, I don't listen to trance anymore, nor do I make it. I make deep house, techno, and electronica.

I mainly produce pro but often a few trance elements creep in there so I voted 20-40% (even though I do not produce trance itself at all).

I just make Electronic music more in vain with Tangerine dream, telefon tel aviv, and flying lotus. It's hard to put it in a genre really, but i borrow elements from everything, and sometimes i'll throw down a trance track, though usually with real drums, and a lot of things that aren't considered trancey.

guess i wasnt sure about the question, voted for 40-60. the genre itself? barely at all ever. trance elements? almost always, my progressive/progressivehouse and breaks tracks are very droney, atmospheric and have melodic elements a la trance.

Oh fuck you, Your tracks are starting to sound like jaytech and Mr Reece

Great job man, this is exactly the sort of stuff I play out

20% max for me, although I've just done this track with my partner in crime and fo rme it's the best thing I've ever done, and it's damned trancey, mmm;

thanks dude ghost producer status incoming.

100%... I mean this is tranceaddict right? Not houseaddict or electroaddict? =]

I find most other genres too minimal for my tastes. And I also find trance the most challenging to make overall. Thats why I've convinced myself if I ever learn how to make good trance it should be easier branching out to other styles rather than going from more minimal styles to trance.

Well actually I don't really care about that, I just like trance the most. And no I don't think its dead at all.

Trance... hardest to make?

Try making some complextro and say that again. And how by any stretch of the imagination is electro too minimal?

Regardless I voted 0% but I guess I should have maybe voted 20% because I sometimes have trancier elements in my breakdowns like the "epic" chords in Burst and the proggy stuff in Seventeen and Riot.

For me 100 % as well. I only produce trance, a) because I still love the musical genre and b) even when I try to make something a lot more minimal or housey I find myself adding melodic elements in it again and before I know it, it just sounds trancy again haha.

Very well executed trance still does it for me. I wish a lot of the classic anthems had been produced these days with the current technology, choice of great sounds and production techniques.

I do not know what is the hard genre to produce.

If you think trance is easy, try picking out any pluck you want and writing a 8+ bar melody.

Gentlemen, please. This isn't a measuring contest and the idea that one genre is more difficult than another isn't even germane to the discussion, let alone provable. Technical complexity doesn't make a song good and technical ability varies across the board, regardless of which producer produces in whatever genre.

Think of the conversation as diverting into a genre appreciate thread.

Every genre is special. And different. Special and different.

like retards. unique.

0%. I don't make trance. Although I use elements similar to the trance from the earlier parts of the 90s.

No kidding...

I chose 80-100%, mostly I produce trance but, if its not trance, it for sure has elements of trance in it. TraNce 4 LiFe!

I said 40-60%, because I still produce quite a bit of Progressive Trance. The label seems to think I produce Trance as well, seeing that my last 4 tracks weren't the style they were looking for. My mind is so infused with Trance, it's hard to avoid it influencing my productions. That's not always a bad thing, Trance elements work in House tunes and such. I'm trying to get away from Trance, because the labels just don't seem to want it anymore. I understand that, because I don't listen to much Trance anymore either.
