| the advices here is getting worse and worse. why would anyone need two 909 machines? stereo? unison? why would anyone need one at all when the sounds are available as samples anywhere for free? and the 303? thats probably the most limited and useless synth ever made! |

Enough trance has already been made. There is a multitude of good tracks and an even larger multitude of mediocre and bad ones. Why do you think you should add to the pile? Does the world really need your input? |
Best advice in this thread, imo. |

btw
i was just going old school on the guy. |

yeah. dont. its not good advice. oldschool is to work with and expensive as hell. its a miracle techno was even made before, it just proves that people had too little to do at the time.
to the OP: u need a computer and a software-sequencer like Reason, FL, Cubase, Logic, Ableton. Some of these have everything u need inside the program so u dont need to worry about additional virtual synths (VST).
still my biggest advice is again be careful who you take advice from. |

my best advice would be download a trial of reason or logic and see if you like it. 90% of the people who listen to EDM want to be a dj/producer and it's not that easy.
PD: I'm another FL user scared of a change of daw :tongue2 |

| Make sure you got a lot of free time, watch many youtube tutorials some help some dont but you always learn something new. A good pair of headphones may help you to analyze sounds better. |

Edit
Future Magazine's YouTube site has helped me a lot. I highly recommend it (even for the old pros). A lot of the tutorials on this channel are done in Logic Pro.. but if you can't afford Pro, you can still get a way with using the light, and cheaper version; Logic Express :) And Logic is Mac-based only. If you're on a Mac, then get this software. It seems to be the software used most by the trance producers. I say Logic because if you plan to watch a lot of tutorials from Future Magazine, then you could relate better to the tutorials. Vintage hardware is nice, but like what many on here are saying, it's very expensive and most of the sounds are already inside the DAW's, or third-party virtual instruments.
If you're going the Mac route, here's all you need to start with:
1) Logic Pro (or Logic Express if you can't afford Pro version)
2) Midi Controller
Don't forget to watch these awesome tutorials:
