I'm newb at producing . I wrote this melody, but i'm wondering if thats way too melodic. Just want some opinions from people who know trance. This is by no means a mix or a final mix, I most probably wouldn't even use the short string sound as the lead. I just wanna know some opinions. Thx everyone.

don't really know what the meaning is of "to melodic"

strings makes it waaaaay to happy :P, don't count it as really trance..

sounds are way to weak.

I think u mean too cheesy. Yes it is.

Thx for the input . i just used the FL sounds for everything except the bassline and percussion. So you're saying that there's no such thing as too much melody?
Edit: Or there's no such thing as too much melody in cheese.

melody can be everything imo, but each melody fits a specific subject, yours just not trance imo.

for me i don't know how to compose a melody, never played piano or anything but i learned most of playing with the sequencer, and looked alot to midi files, to see how you can construct a typical trance melody.

thx man. i kinda noticed that trance melodies usually have less notes than what i have. like 3 notes per bar or so. or 5 notes per 2 bars.

as the king of austria said to Mozart "there are to many notes"

but if it sounds good, run with it!

If you really have your mind set on turning it into a trance track, just use the first four bars of it. I think the last four take away from its flow and extend it a bit too much for a "typical" trance melody. Most of what makes a good trance melody are variations on pretty simple progressions.

1. Sounds like a modified Way out West - Mindcircus
2. Why use Fruity Plucked. Its .. bad...

Keep at it man, potential.
