Then you can probably explain me what all the equipment is used for which can be seen at about every amateur studio. Especially those things with Korg, Yamaha and Roland on it.

Without spending too much time reading the content of this thread I'd just like to add that when a track has a beautiful melody, for example, and the melody is looped twice. This causes SUCH frustration and the track feels seriously incomplete. I often edit tracks that I like that lack in structure and duration.

Yeh, have done that too many times with Wavelab

Maybe its because Trance has the most hooking melody
I mean , you can sing along to pop songs , but you can also sing along to trance songs.

Or "You are so hot, hot, hot",
"Please come and touch me... I need to feel loved..."

Fuck all that handbag house bs. Why don't they just get to the fkn point and sing "I'm a fkn slut, come and fuck me now".

Mainstream house is so fkn shit it drives me up the fkn walls.

Because they dont want their music to become rated for 18+

+1

Old trance had a very good structure with surprise elements coming in and taking over eachother. At the end one felt like that track had been a marvelous trip. Midway - Monkey Forest is an example.

U mean Yamaha monitors and Roland JP8000? Thats the guys that started before 2000. Now its headphones, a laptop, pirated windows and pirated ableton and shit load of pointless VSTs.

What I like about Trance is that it can pretty much be made for anyone in mind.If you like fast pumping music Trance can do that,you like slow more relaxing and groovy music trance can do that as well unlike Minimal(which I wonder how anyone can dance to?)
