Trance Production Techniques

I have been thinking a lot about the way I produce trance. I used to make all my tracks in midi using sound modules and synths, which I liked and produced great results. Now I convert tracks to audio asap and apply effects to get the sound I am looking for. The advatange with the midi tracks is obviously the abilitly to change the tempo and change the melodies at later times.

I try to keep a mix of both midi and audio tracks, but once I end up in audio, I bunch the midi tracks in a folder and mute them.

So what does everyone do in this realm.

So what's the good thing about audio tracks, except possibly saving CPU?
I use all MIDI so far. Plus soft synths to make the sounds, duh.

Well, mainly the audio effects are way better then the softsynth effects or the keyboards built in effects. Plus you supposed to compress then add effects or at least that is what I do because if U don't it makes all the quiet delayed sounds loud and sounds like crap.

Ah yes, of course... But you don't need to save stuff to audio just to add reverb/delay/insert effect here, at least not in the sequencers I've tried...
I use effects on almost every track in cubase and I'm still all MIDI.
MIDI -> Soft synth -> Insert effects -> Send effects -> Mixer -> Output. I think it's that order in cubase anyway.

Effects work on audio instrument tracks and audio tracks the same way there is no difference...... Midi effects on the otherhand suck
