| The topic sounds funny im sure but its a serious question. How do you get good at listening to trance how do you know what all is new how do you know what to listen to who is good where to look where to buy do you gotta be a dj? I must admit a dj is appealing to me but im too lazy to start so i just want to enjoy my trance but its hard when im ignorant about what all is good and what all is new. Tips? anyone? |

Just go through the motions, first listen to some cheese, breakdown buildup trance, then start to listen to some hard trance, then some goa or phy, and maybe some prgressive. You have to have your own opinion, no one is good at listening to trance.
That's what's so good about trance. You can pick up anything in the song and listen to many different levels without some lead singer guiding you. |

| Check out the Reviews/New Releases forum, listen to online radio shows & mix albums and check out the artists who produced your favorite tracks, see who your favorite DJs/prodcuers have colaborated with. |

Like the OurManFlint said you need search on your own. Go through all of the genres and figure out which genre you are emotionally attached to the most.
In terms of DJing you can like several different genres and be able to mix them together as long as they are related to each other somewhat. Say you like house and progressive trance, both can be combines, you can throw down some house, prog house, prog trance, and if you want to some full on trance trance as well. It takes skills to mix cross genres but it can be done if you so desire.
Just figure out the styles of music you like within EDM and go from there. Be your own guide. No one can tell you what you will like or won't u need to search on your own, just ask questions along the way if you need assitance. |

I Totally agree. Give songs that others recommend a listen and decide for yourself if you like it. There are a lot of politics involved in music, but I say don't like or dislike something just because others do. |

How to listen to trance good:
Step 1: Take your shoes off
Step 2: Grab your right foot with your left hand
Step 3: Place your left leg behind your head
Step 4: Pick up a monkey wrench with your right hand
Step 5: Strike your head with the monkey wrench repeatedly until you black out
Repeat steps 5 until you can't remember your own name or you no longer care whether you're good at listening to music, whichever comes first. |

thats the way i went about it. works great!
seriously though, the best way to go about it, is to try and find some of the stuff thats talked about on these forums. some you will think is amazing, some you will think is crap. this will develop your own taste and you will eventually find certain artists or certain dj's who you like.
have a look in the amateur dj's section of the website and grab some of the sets in there (and leave feedback please), livesets are probably the best way to tailor your taste, its the way the music should be listened to ;) |
