a lot of tracks for review have these real complex builds
imo they make a track sound so much better ,just wondering the best way to start to construct my own builds

in the into,in the break down the reprise etc

im just looking for a base to start from

thanks

Dumbest thread ever.

hey, thats not nice.

Builds,

start with pads. good place to start, find a creative way to bring in your main lead from the build. remember one thing while doing this.

its a build. meaning its constantly getting bigger and bigger until it reaches its final point and morphs into your chorus.

i cant tell you exactly how to make a build, because it would stop you from infusing your style into it.

Best advice I can give to start off with basics is to just listen to tracks that you know have real good builds, and attempt to emulate it yourself.

you really do learn alot about the structure of anything that way, it gives alot of insight.

I guess that's why 90% of the buildups in uplifting trance are identical.

i like a break that builds a few times and then catches you off guard

Agreed, I'm also tired of that -I'm not giving advice because it would stop you from being original- attitude. Trance is a genre with generic arrangement.

A lot of tracks have a simplified version of the melody to put in the buildup, along with pads, sweeps, snarerolls and some FX work.

Agreed.

Can anyone remember back in the mid-90's then the snare-roll was the only buid up everyone used?

Now is it just me, or is this fashion making a comeback?

I think acid is makign a comeback all together...now that everyone is over making things overly complex (because of such a surge of new ways to do things), people are starting to go back to the original roots...maybe? lol. less is more, anyways right?

But on that note....is it just me, or is all the new 'Tech _____', seem alot like oldschool acid house?
