starting completely fresh and making something totally not trance gives me loads of ideas, even if its just a few hours muckabout :)

Could you list the books you liked?
I found this an interesting read (web encyclopedia):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trance_music
I am also listening to the tracks listed there. I can hear a lot of 'classic sounds' in them. It has helped me focus more on the sound I want:
* "Age Of Love" by Age Of Love (1990)
* "We Came In Peace" by Dance 2 Trance (1991)
* "Sweet Dreams For Kaa" by Cosmic Baby (1992)
* "Abduction" by Eat Static (1993)
* "For an Angel" by Paul Van Dyk (1994)
* "Twisted" by Hallucinogen (1995)
* "Flaming June" by BT (1996)
* "El Nino (Matt Darey Remix)" by Agnelli & Nelson (1998)
* "Carte Blanche" by Veracocha (1999)
* "Out of the Blue" by System F (1999)

| reading all the technique tutorials in Future Music since the early 90's, then getting trained audio engineering at a large church, then finding software that did exactly (well, almost) what I wanted (reason). |

-Learned how VSTs work
-Learned the basics of mastering/effects
-Signing up to a forum/community like this one, and started reading more about producing.
Especially the last step has helped me a lot lately, since I guess I'm a noob. :toothless |

sound quality was improved by several things:
-buying a hardware synth
-switching from Reason to Cubase
-use of good VSTis & VSTs
but
-originality hasn't improved by these things.
I really miss the simplicity of Reason :( |

- keyboard lessons
- Tranceaddict
- Photography {You don't believe it, but it did}
- Learning about Cubase and MIDI-controlers
Next step would be buying a synthesizer module for the band |
