Hey guys whenever i try and make a dream trance track it sounds like goa or techno or old skool track.
I just need to know the main ingredients to put together
a dream trance track.
Ive heard if you tweak the bass with a lot of resonance you get the dream trance sound but ive bet theres more to it than that.
like arps
melodies
string pads
etc
so i just need to know which element to put together.
i have most of the main soft synths.

there arent any main ingredients to a dream trancer.. but i can tell you what i do most of the time
lots & lots of (classic/sweeping) strings with an overdosis of stereo echo (sum of the pads in athmosphere do the trick)
no dirty stabs or leads
arpeggio's with a lot of delay who (sumtimes) overlap
lots of athmospheric sounds & srx
deep basses (not nrg bassed bass arpeggio's)
lots of delay @ your percussion
as for the arpeggio's, melodies & strings.......whel m8 you'll have to come up with that yourself..after all. your the producer :)

| USe delays and reverb intelligently, this is what gives alot of the atmosphere. No distorted synths, they sound dirty, alot of filter sweeping with the synths and arpeggios. A good phaser adds color to a synth too. A pounding, but not ear splitting kick, clear hihats and percussion (high-pass). Thats what I can think of right now.... |

| hey cheggy |
An arp in the background with the filter cutoff modulating is very useful. A bassline that doesn't give a lot of energy, just presense and a nice deep kick that doesn't protrude into the mix.
Stereo delays work nicely. Listen to some of the older stuff from around 1999. The gatecrasher disco-tech album (not disco-tech generation) has some awsome tunes to listen to like Spectrum and Conquest Paradise. |
