show me the ropes

is there anybody that lives in the los angeles area that is into production and can give me lessons in how to produce trance? the forums on TA help but im more of a visual learner so if anybody is possibly available to give me lessons about different plugins, effects, and theory behind trance music that would be awesome.

Learn your production environment. (Software, Hardware, Synths and plugins)

Best way to do this, if you are using "software" is to import an existing midi into your environment.

This should help you in understanding the different parts of an existing track that you are already familiar with

Next try to create a bass line a synth lead or a drum track. Just remember learn one at a time a common mistake is when you try to write a hit the first time you sit in front of a synth or your computer.

Once you have created a "part" try to use different instruments on the play back

Now you are ready to change wave patterns and effects this should give you a start in manipulating the sound

Remember you will never be great at all aspects of music production

For example you may find yourself asking people for tips on bass lines or vocals and in my case mastering

Here is a great link to get started

D.Ramirez working on a track.

this might be of some help, its not sitting down with someone and actually seeing first hand or hands on but still worth a look, has a good example of sidechain compression which is used a lot these days in House and Trance.

So what would the formula be for producing house music.

- find a boring monotone base beat

- add a cow bell here and there

- add some vocals

- grab a pillow to fall asleep

- no proft

Ahh the beauty of subtle repetition. It's definitely not for those looking for instant gratification...
