FuzzyGreen, I think this thread was really good idea. And this thread could be so much better with good advices from others. At least I like to know how SOME trance songs are made of, what kind of structure they have... Putting some intro, buildups, breakdowns,outros... I think this helped me a bit, so thanks FuzzyGreen posting
Yeah, and making music that U like is important!!!
Strep. thanks for the link

I think this is really useful. Rules are good - especially for new people. Look at the rules in composing or music theory. Only the very experienced are "allowed" to break them.
But even with rules or no rules, there's no substitute for transcription - taking your favorite tracks and figuring out what makes 'em tick - recreating them as best you can. That's where the knowledge is.

Be creative, do what you like. No two of my tracks have the same form, just basic grouping of measures so people can dance and not be confused.

I'm going to agree with a lot of people, and say that this is a good thread, but only as long as there's some sort of disclaimer saying that this is only what's usually done, and that some of the rules can and should be broken.
Now let's stop flaming and make the thread good.

Im not flaming, im disagreeing. Flaming involves immature comments phrased in rude ways. If what everybody wants is to produce tracks that sound the same, thats fine with me. The best producers are always the ones who find new and interesting ways to make music and express themselves, just keep that in mind. The ones always copying and trying to play catchup normally quit in frustration or simply hit a plateau and don't advance (i've seen both happen).
