Listen I've been adicted to trance and only trance since the ing day I was born and I've always had this wish to make my own music. Just the kinda music you can get seriously high on and I know you know what I mean.

The problem is I have no musical talent what so ever. I can hardly play "Twinkle twinkle little star" on my synth!

But I researched the net some time ago.. maybe a full year ago and understood that I needed Propellerheads Reason 2.5. I dow.. I mean bought it. I bought a MIDI keyboard too.. a new soundcard with hardly any latency at all. I read thrue the entire Reason manual and have studied different music and reason related articles on the net too but still it feels like I know nothing at all. I haven't created one full song! I've tried so many times to create sum cool synth sounds like pads or whatever but I just can't do a ing ! I end up spending a full day in front of Reason but without creating anything but a nice headace.

I want to be able to create thoose sweet pads and nasty "low-attack" trance sounds that appears in every trance tune! But how the !? Could you please give me ONE SINGLE TUTORIAL on how I make one trance sound on an empty initialized subtractor in Reason. I want one of thoose sounds that .. pops out you know! That attacks at once and have high frequences.. please!? I'm strarting to cry soon.. I want so bad but can't do a ing thing!

well, it will take months and even years to create and actually USE that sound..

how long have you been trying to produce?

and many 'pro' producers can't play an instrument (that includes keyboard) (so they can't play winkle twinkle little star either) i do assume you got it hooked up to your pc (midi).. its more about the sounds you get out of it. thats basic knowlage + experiance

if you want turtorials on creating sounds you better post samples..

oh and, as i see you dow.. bought reason i think its usefull to download some r(n/p)s files from www.propellerheads.se they have some demo song section somewere, as i read in your other thread you'd like to know how they made sounds fit together and stuff. take a look at some rns files. if you like a tune, go figure out how the setup in the rack is done, how effects are used (and what difference they make (by putting them on by-pass for instance ;) ) also you can play the single elements of the track by itself that way.

Take a look at this minths issue of Computer Music Magazine. There's a tutorial on how to sound like Ferry Corsten. Might get you started anyway.

Also, it was suggested by someone, somewhere that you try to re-create your favorite track. Its woth a try as it will give you a better understanding of what instruments make what sounds, and where to put them in a mix. Plus it gives you a little more structure, less intimidating that way. Good luck

Sure, have a go at producing.
Search this forum to find tuts about sounds. And read the sticky's.
But blatant appreciation of a spesific music-genre doesnt automaticly make you a producer.
Its a classic noob/overeager example.

Cheers.

practice and learn from others patches.

that what i did, id take a patch and tweak it to my liking

then its all abt sequencing ideas up in ur head and thinking up of a way to portray them.
