Hey guys whenever i try and make a dream trance track it sounds like goa or techno or old skool track.

I just need to know the main ingredients to put together
a dream trance track.

Ive heard if you tweak the bass with a lot of resonance you get the dream trance sound but ive bet theres more to it than that.

like arps
melodies
string pads

etc

so i just need to know which element to put together.


i have most of the main soft synths.


crazed one

there arent any main ingredients to a dream trancer.. but i can tell you what i do most of the time

lots & lots of (classic/sweeping) strings with an overdosis of stereo echo (sum of the pads in athmosphere do the trick)

no dirty stabs or leads

arpeggio's with a lot of delay who (sumtimes) overlap

lots of athmospheric sounds & srx

deep basses (not nrg bassed bass arpeggio's)

lots of delay @ your percussion


as for the arpeggio's, melodies & strings.......whel m8 you'll have to come up with that yourself..after all. your the producer

USe delays and reverb intelligently, this is what gives alot of the atmosphere. No distorted synths, they sound dirty, alot of filter sweeping with the synths and arpeggios. A good phaser adds color to a synth too. A pounding, but not ear splitting kick, clear hihats and percussion (high-pass). Thats what I can think of right now....

okay thanks guys ill get at it soon.

An arp in the background with the filter cutoff modulating is very useful. A bassline that doesn't give a lot of energy, just presense and a nice deep kick that doesn't protrude into the mix.

Stereo delays work nicely. Listen to some of the older stuff from around 1999. The gatecrasher disco-tech album (not disco-tech generation) has some awsome tunes to listen to like Spectrum and Conquest Paradise.
