if you want to work out how someone did something - chuck it in your sequencer and copy it - as a learning exercise
great way to learn more about synthesis and quite rewarding when you crack a certain sound - you dont have to use it but at least you know how to make it now
freq analyzers are helpful for this, as is high pass/ low pass filters. The good thing about trance (it seems to me) is that a majority of synth sounds are mostly subtractive synthesis so should be reasonably easy to work out
if your quite new to synths i think this is great - and it even introduces FM too which is just immense :)

I am also quite new to trance but it seems to me that the key to what your talking about is layers, you have a sub in mono, usually sine wave or triangle followed by layers of mid bass filling up more of the frequency spectrum and stereo field and providing movement. |

i think you need to do a bit of both. Learn from tutorials but also try on your own. The biggest advantage to learning things on your own is that you develop your ears. IT takes time, it is frustrating but it is worth it.
if you want to learn, using presets without ever taking the time to learn how it works will make you more of a dj in that you just select things instead of being able to make it. You are at the mercy of other people's creativity. |

don't consider a bassline as just a bassline, uplifting trance is usually 3 basslines. Deep bass after each kick (sidechain) a mid -bass bassline 1/8 1/16 triplets... depends and a mid/high bassline playing the same as the mid bassline but with another instrument usually an arp or a pike and some octaves higher.
Deep bassline can be C2, mid C4 and high C5/C6 |

Yup. You really do have to take care of the valve-train and make sure the cams have minimal lobe wear. Making sure the right oil is circulating through the galleries is essential to maintaining that balance between performance excellence and protection from wear and tear. That's why I use Valvoline 10W-30 High-Mileage for my classic 1968 Chevrolet El Camino.
It has just the right additives to protect older engines. It helps shore up worn gaskets with special thickening agents that won't gum up my engine like some motor oils and just the right amount of detergents to help reduce excessive carbon build-up. Of course, nothing can replace regular oil changes, every three-thousand miles, but I sleep well knowing I've got the added protection of Valvoline High Mileage. |

You'll regret this when you're cleaning sludge out of a push-rod in your high-mileage car! |

What are the latest rollers like? I don't listen to trance now so I don't know if the classic rolling basslines have evolved from what they were in about 2008/9.
Can someone post up an up to date example. |
