Honestly, it's only because of your age that you haven't been strongly advised to go into business with someone you've never met, before. Your threads are a source of irritation because they are asking to resolve issues that are trivial to most producers; let alone most people with an iota of common sense. You ask stupid questions. Don't dither the issue with teen-aged rhetorical strategies meant to loophole your way out of accountability. People are giving you far too much leeway because you're young. You might only be fifteen but you are already dangerously close to being regarded as a first-rate attention-whore. And the headphones you use to make music, shouldn't be used to make music. That's the reason your mixes sound like muddy sewage.

Come on now, I think you guys take this forum far too seriously.

Seriously though he should have to struggle with this for years and toil in obscurity just like the rest of us, the way god intended it.

Unless you are passionate about it, I would steer away from making uplifting trance (which if I am correct in recollection is what you want to make). Most of the people involved in that period of trance have moved on from it for 5 years now. I am not saying there isn't still some out there but it is dwindling quick. If it is what your heart wants to make, do it by all means. But I think many beginners (like myself 1.5 years ago) haven't heard much current edm and have a stereotype that uplifting = trance.

If you are open to making non-uplifting current trance, focus on 125-132 BPM. Songs about 5 - 7 minutes.

As for drum samples, don't look for 'trance' loops even if you are making trance. Those 140 bpm trance loops date a song immediately.

Use other genres drum samples, like electro, tech or even minimal. My guess is that the most current sounding drums, usually come from very currently dominant genres. I spent a lot of time looking for 'trance' samples, the type Arty might use, about a year ago and figured out that looking for electro or minimal samples are better. Some fit in a trance song very well. They are big, current and very stereo if you find the right one.

My guess is that because there is a much bigger market for electro right now, few making samples would waste their time on a genre like trance which is no longer that important. David Guetta is number 1 now. Ferry Corsten is almost out of the top 20. The paradigm shift has occurred. The trance days are probably over until it is cool to sample in like 15-25 years (just like it is hip to do a song with Fast Eddie of 'Acid Thunder' fame now)

Just some advice from som1 who wasted my first year making songs that sounded like they were made in 2001 and wouldn't have even good enough for that time period.

jesus , you are a pretentious twat. Paradigm shift are two words that should only ever be uttered or written in a master level course where other pseudo intellectuals can masturbate and yell meta. You are the kind of kid that just begs to get bullied. I would work on that gigantic red bulls eye and work on not being so fucking lame. Honestly, everything about you, your picture that screams i am one insult away from cutting my wrists and your pandering bullshit on here are pretty clear signs that you need to get some help. I know you mean well but god damn, stop what you are doing, and work on your ability to blend or not be a twat you would just love to slap. I don't condone bullying, but you really have to meet them half way. Prancing around like you do saying what you say is just too much.

I am not a violent or aggressive person and i would rather run that ruin my threads but even I want to slap you. Just slap you with the back of my hand until you cry a little then slap you more for crying. And thats fucked up. Own up to how you make people feel because it isn't fair for others.

good point, ahh the golden days of relentlessly looking for perfect tranz kickdrum

@EddieZ: Ok, I take back what I said

@Trancelover03591

Completely agree with Looney4Clooney here, but I just wanted to add that you're a complete twat. Serious question, do you even enjoy composing a track?

I'm not taking up for anyone, but when your eleventh post involves creating drama for someone you barely know, it's a little suspicious.

How is it suspicious? I am replying to what he wrote. If his post was actually helpfull for the topic starter I would applaud him.

It's a shame that people still take value in post count instead of the posts themselves.
