I believe the hardest style to make nowadays is minimal techno....................................................................................Joking.
But seriously Trance took me 2 years to learn how to make it properly, Prog House took me 1 year, and DnB took me a week.
So I guess trance is pretty hard to make well. |

i think that's pretty misleading to say because for one thing you have the collective experience of making music learned from one genre to aid you in making the next.
but as already suggested...it takes time to learn how to make any genre well. |

It depends on who you are, what your strengths and weaknesses are. Engineering might be for one person, sample selection the next, chord theory the next, arrangement the next etc. |
Yes definitly.
My strenghts where mainly creating atmospheric samples and beats filled with details.
Melody wise i really suck. Can't even get a 4 bar riff or something.
Bassline and bass sounds were my favorite things to do as well when i used to produce.
ABout signing. Well I really have no clue which label releases house music or alternative breakbeats . But i do know 1000 labels that release trance. And thats the problem. |

| It totally depends. I would say that it's a total bitch to mix and master because it's very busy. I can't make a hip hop beat if my life depended on it, and today's hip hop is less busy than trance. You have to REALLY know the genre you're doing or else it'll be hard. It doesn't matter if it's prog polka or hip-house-psy. You have to know how to use your gear for your specific genre, and you have to know how it works. You are only limiited to what you know. |

| I personally believe that if someone finds that one genre is "easy" to produce then they haven't tapped the potential of that genre. If you can crank out a drum n bass song 4 times as fast as a trance song, then maybe you should challenge yourself by experimenting with new effects and compositions. This gives you a chance progress the genre instead of just turn out the same old stuff that's already been done. |

Every style of music is easy to produce. But only when you know how. If you don't then it can be a confusing nightmare.
How many people here have beaten themselves up over trying to clone a supersaw on a softsynth, only to find later on that the sound they wished to recreate was actually a JP8000 preset?
The idea I guess it to start by making music which comes to you naturally, based on decent sounds you can make from the synths you have got.
No doubt other people will try to copy your sound later if it proves to be popular. And they will most likely find it a nightmare to clone, unless they happen to know how you made it. |

Trance is the ahrdest to make because there are alot of people making it.
More people making it = better techniques, more innovation.
The better the production, the harder it is to distinguish yourself |
