not really you can portray trance many ways the only trance tracks that really have breakdowns as most ppl think is Epic or Anthem Trance wich are basicly the same thing. Ive heard some awsome tracks from ppl that go straight to a percusive style drop in the track then bring everything back in then the lead its just really all about how far are you willing to push the boundries. As one of the books I have on djing/producing it says Dont try to reinvinte the wheel find ways to make it better.
sry about spelling im kinda plasterd now from my date. |
spot on, mate.
i think that following formulas, structures, guidlines and templates, CAN be extremely limiting. But i also think, that it can really help a beginner find his/her way, learn new techniques and have the skill to progress and really find his/her style and such. but the negative effect it has, seems to have a much more impactful position in music. it suppresses what you really got inside ya, and i think that right there is partly resposible for all this run of the mill music. people follow the norms and acceptions of the music, there are not enough risks being taken. risks just arnt as accepted in the mainstream. just do what makes you happy, what you think sounds good, and what REALLY feeds your passion for music. |

well wat if u like snare rolls
it may be cookie cutter but wat if u dont do it like everyone else does it, I had this cool snare roll in one of my tracks.
And about the having no breakdown isnt trance very break oriented
it would be progressive without a break |
:conf: :rolleyes:
see the effect catagorization has?
just more of these limits ive been speaking of. |

but does that really matter? to please others should NEVER be the goal of your music...
Not to say it is, but for some, it's just an unspoken mission. Even unknowingly. |

| its Taboo to think of pleasing others in this buisness trust me I tried to do the same so I could get signed to labels and be big and famous one day. Once I thru that out the window I found the World of possiblitys opeing up for me. |

The sounds is from the Factory Soundbank, but if you want you can always change them to your own sounds. |

| God, snare rolls arnt that bad. Process the out it and it doesnt even need to sound like a snare. Its cheesy piano riffs during breakdowns that you should stay the hell away from!! |

Twisted just for the record i am doing my own thing my own style
i was not copying anyone ,just some tracks do need breakbeats
like psyc,goa,hard trance,ambient etc i think without
then again ive heard trance songs like in the Matrix or other movies with no breakbeats but more melodic and atmosphers. |

one thing you guys are missing is genres is not the same thing as someone style ,you could be making a chillout track or an uplifting goa track and you may need a break beat in it at some point. so dont automatically think that ,if someone is using a snare roll and some sort of break beat that ,they are using some cookie cutter method on how to make trance tunes ...so a roll does not automatically mean
old school teckno like the kind you hear in the city at 3am!
so again it is art if you take a snare roll and put it into another type of trance that is art!
as long as you stick to originality
i do agree with you about a lot of people just using a method for all to make all of trance ,but im sure we are all guilty of that when we hear someone that influences us or gives us inspiration but we may want to emulate them or sound like them but in the end we have our own sound! |

so far the best way i have found is to experiment alot with sound so i can get inspired, dont copy alot of other stuff just build it up to your perfection. you need to take time, dont try and complete it within the first week! it is not a race else it will show in your production, therefore you are limiting yourself?
today i was using the demo of reason 2.5 with rewire with cubase sx and geee u can do great stuff. i put the dr.rex out put in the input of the malstrom synth and you can come up with cool sound that will add them little effects you need to make it fill those gaps sometimes! |
