im still new to trance production so im sure my tip is no secret but it may interest someone.
I like to Automate my high pass filters for sounds that play during busy sections of a song and then play on their own in a breakdown or something.
For example, I may have a kind of "anthemy" lead saw sound which will play the "main hook" on its own with no other instruments playing and then continue playing that hook once the rest of the song and instruments kick in. I find that if I set the high pass filter so the sound works while the entire song is playing, it sounds too thin/small when the hook is playing on its own, so i automate the high pass to be off then on once the rest of the instruments kick in. Once its all playing you dont really miss the bottom end from the lead hook instrument because the kick and bass are now filling in the bottom end of the spectrum.
im loving automation more and more these days!
