I'm currently pursuing my Bachlers with a double major in music and computer science.

After undergraduate studies, I plan to pursue a masters in Computer Science.

i am not a music major but every semester i have taken a music theory class. for the most part i am self taught

The more I hear, the more I wish I'd done something music related in college. Ah well I suppose my design background is creative. I'd hate to be doing business or something. No offence to anyone doing business, just not for me.

Man, that is the best description of a good trance set I ever heard...

hate to make you guys jealous, but i've been musically trained since i was 5 years old and i play 4 diff instruments, have the equivalent of a college degree in violin, taken 8 different theory courses, and played with many different genres of music from rock, classical, jazz, musicals, and of course electronic

and boy it helps... i have no problem making melodies each time.... however, the thing that i have trouble with is sometimes i put such a high standard on myself that i don't get anywhere with producing...

no formal musical education here. i have an english degree and most of my formal work constitutes essays and textual analysis. ive been playing guitar self taught for 8 years. ive been producing for 1 year, again self taught.

I used to take piano classes when I was younger, I stopped that when I moved. I've been seriously producing for 4-5 months, and I've been self teaching myself piano for 8-9 months now. Damn you all with formal training!

I've been producing since late 2001...and self-taught

its been extra difficult at times with no guidence...and having to deal with A.D.D.

But luckly my stubborness rules supreme...

i've read and looked at countless sites...but have noticed that music theory isnt all that...i would say that training ur ear...and using ur imagination is best.

To be honest people who are sef-taught are better in my eyes...we have less persuasive attitude with how it should sound...rather then how we want it to sound...

music is expressive...and universal in format...there is no right or wrong...but of course there must be some tasteful aspects to it.

Sites thats helped me greatly are:

www.serious-sounds.net the forums have around 40 tutorials...the site that helped me with my melodies

www.samplecity.net

www.trance.nu

www.alfa-zen.com ( exclude the - )

and the best info i got from this site is the link below on trance chords
