Now imagine all these thousand people around the globe, haviong lots of different ( software and hardware ) synths, ideas, are addicted to trance and produce music. Some have a label, others don't but the majority of them has one thing in common:
The are not innovative or original.
They copy other artists styles without reaching their level.
They remix old classics in order to get people's attention but they often ruin completly the feeling of the original.
Trance somehow got stuck. No really new things everything we get to hear is just standard sounds with standards build ups for standard melodies execpt some exceptional exceptions.
why here too ? Never hear something experimental here on this forum. SO often just standard trancers ( including my own tracks sometimes ), wannabe remixes and lousy clones.
shouldn't we all be more innovative and creative ?
(This is also for me, lots of my latest works had a little boring standard sounding )

Well said !
Well you're right that we should create more different sounds.But what do you mean when you say "some exeptional exeptions"? Give some examples ?
I think the focus on quality instead of trying to be "original" may be just fine until the point where you have mixing skills good enough to, for example, put out a record. But that's just MHO
[edit] w000t i'm in the list [/edit]

definately agree with trancevision that there's way too little experimentation going on here. i have more fun these days checking out a local board even though there are very few trance producers there, but atleast everybody is making different stuff and experimenting alot.
personally i don't understand how people here can go from uplifting trancer to uplifting trancer all the time. ofcourse you have to try perfecting the sound, but still i find it alot more fun trying new styles and sounds.
I half agree. I agree that experimenting with new sounds is a good thing. I do not think there is a problem with producing "uplifting trancer after uplifting trancer." It's very hard to establish a fanbase when each one of your songs sounds drastically different. I say keep to your genre (or atleast keep your alias to its genre) but experiment within the genre. For instance I would consider Seven Cities and Nocturnal Creatures to both be uplifting trance tracks. They sound absolutely nothing alike in any way however.

You say that there's not enough innovative or original material here, yet it seems to me that it's only the more typical melodic, uplifting trance stuff that gets any real attention in this forum anyway! Well, most of the time.
