Where do YOU start when you're making a trance song?

I think I may be doing something wrong. Every time I start, I ALWAYS start with a bassline using Sylenth. After this, I'll add my kicks and then I hit a plateau and can't get any further. I search my folders for FX to add to my intro and I just can't progress.
Where do you tend to start?
Are there any tips you can give me?
Also, when I watch Trance tutorials.. The majority of the video's aren't even Trance, they just use the common hardstyle melody and write it off as Trance.
Are there any professional tutorials? |

You'll get facetious answers to questions like this because they have been asked a 1000 times, in every way you could possibly imagine.

| you should ask RANN about subwoofers and their benifit but ask on a Monday when he is at work but hung over. |

| Don't ask Clooney about anything though, unless you're actually interested in score. Because that's where he'll go. |

| go your self. Pretty sure you wouldn't know how to design a soft sync subtractor styled synth let alone achieve a saw wave using a flipflop circuit and feedback addition, or get a square wave via saw wave manipulation. |

I try to have a fresh outlook with every track.
The same old workflow of Kick + Bass + Clap + Hat, etc, can get old. Many people end up creating such a huge bass doing this, that they then have no room left for any other elements. |

If you always starts with the bass and always get stuck it's time to try something new. Personally I get very different sounding tunes depending on what I start with. It takes a little practice to get used to the different approaches but it is worth some fooling around to see what fits you best, and when.
And if you are starting with the Intro of the song I strongly advice you to try to make the main hook first. It is much easier to make a intro from a good "Chorus" then the other way around. |

I wish you'd hurry up and damn well post some new tracks, I wanna hear the results of all this stuff you do. No paying a ghost producer please.
Honestly I listen to tracks by people that do all this crazy circuit bending, and have walls of vintage outboard but mostly they don't produce anything of note. Squarepushers stuff is soooooo boring and generic.
I fancy a row today.
Is all your scoring experience going to give me anything other than what I've hear a zillion times in film musak?
Also you often retort that a track in promotion has no groove / sound so damned white, so I'm expecting great things from you, and it better not sound like 2003 Miami dance festival stuff. |
