Aspiring Trance Producer: Where do I start?
View this Thread in Original format
Lynchie
For ages I've listened to my favourite Trance tracks, and I went to Digital Society's 7th Birthday in Leeds and it kicked off hard with Aly & Fiila, Sean Tyas, Solarstone, the works. Since then I've wanted to try my hand at making my own music, and I've got some ideas on what I'm trying to achieve in my music.
My problem is, I don't know where to start on this. I originally downloaded (and I know this is bad) the FL Studio Demo as a starting point (I don't want to dedicated money unless I know what I'm doing).

I don't know quite where to start, I've been playing around and reading up on Synthesizers and Subtractive Synthesizers in creating sounds, but I don't feel like I'm on the right path or making the right progress.

I was wondering if there's anyone out there, anybody that has gotten further with the same thing as I want to achieve, and see if you've got any words of wisdom on were I should start, what I should be looking at, reading up, trying out etc

Anyone got any idea's on what I should be doing here? Thanks guys! :)

Well first thing is to get a good lawyer and tell your parents you may be "away" for a while - you posted on a public forum that you illegally downloaded a program and I'm surpirised the software police have not already paid you a visit.

Let us know when you get out (unless your parents are going to cover the fines) and hopefully we help you on the right track :)

Apologies, I thought I had the correct forum selected. I'll happily remove it and put it in another forum area. I assumed the "post any questions....etc" would apply to this. I'll try and move it or see if I can contact a moderator to do so. Thanks for that.

As for the "software police", I hardly think so because I used the Downloadable Demo Version off of the Image Line website, who own the software and provide the demo itself. It has full features, but doesn't allow you to save projects. Hence the Subheading "FL Studio FREE demo/installer." on their website.
If you're going to try and be patronising to someone over the internet, atleast get your facts straight please.
