What really is the main culprit of the uplifting sound? that we hear from artists like Armin van Buuren and the likes of?
I think its the synth! |

Whether a track is "uplifting" depends on the melodies and harmonies. No sound or set of timbres is "uplifting" in itself; not even a supersaw.

| No problem. You just have to think about it for a bit; you could play a random and atonal melody using a supersaw, some nice-sounding arps, and a cool-sounding bass, but I don't think that would "uplift" anyone, do you? |

is all int the title "uplifting" that refers to the "vibe" of it. so yes i guess it's all in the melodies. you could have uplifting in any genre i guess couldn't you?

According to Wikipedia, most European harps have strings for each note of the C Major scale over several octaves. C Major itself is a "cheerful" key, of course, but you can use those same notes to play something in A Minor. So I think you could compose a sad harp song.

| For me it is choice of timbres to an extent but of course the melody usually with a catchy arp slowly opening the filter and building the drums etc. A great trick is to lift your arp 1 octave higher as you're about to peak the track!! |
