can someone help me with different trance styles
lately when i try and make uplifting it sounds (bubble gumish or too airy)
when i try and make melodic it sounds like teckno or psych etc.
so can someone give me some characteristics of each genre below.
happy trance
melodic trance
uplifting trance
euphoric trance
epic trance
acid trance
prog trance
psych trance
I mainly want to just do uplifting and happy, euphoric trance but sometimes i mix my genres. |

Combine them all together and make your own genre ;). Then you'll make millions.
JK.
But honestly, you'll get different answers for different genres. Like I can say happy is synonymous with euphoric. Some people will disagree with me. Just make music that you think sounds good. |

Bravo, Mr.Mystery...
It's not good to limit yourself to genres. You make music because you're inspired, want to express the deepest emotions, and expose your soul to the outside world. Enjoy the process.
Trance goes through continuous evolution. Some people/music industry try to label it to the point of absurdity. No need... |

uplifting, euphoric and epic are actually the same genre. it is easier to classify tracks in such genre when there's enough intensity throughout the whole song (esp. the breakdown) to keep the listeners in a state of high. And it's usually associated with the presence of a massive supersaw lead.
as for melodic trance, it emphasizes more on the texture of the main melody. if you would notice, some tracks' melody are dull while some are nice to listen to.
happy trance, in my opinion, it is generally much simpler than the 2 above. it also emphasizes on the melody too but in a way it sounds "happy" when you listen to it. yanno, some tunes they have those dark melody (usually in lower keys) and for happy trance, they're in higher octaves. i'd say their beats aren't as sophisticated as uplifting tracks (generally :p).
psy trance and goa are almost the same (or maybe they're both the same, i don't know...). it usually have a simple melody and a acid lead. however, they are richer in percussions usage and in higher bpm than any other trance genres (except for hardcore trance). if you're lucky, you might hear some sounds that are India'ish since it's said that the genre is originated from that country.
progressive trance on the other hand is much more popular and almost every dj is playing it. it has a more constant flow in terms of the mood of the song. does not have huge breakdowns like uplifting trance.
i'd say bass plays a major role in this genre.
it may not be 100% accurate but i hope it helps to give u an idea on the genres. |
