Uplifting trance, sometimes termed “Main Room”, “Euphoric”, “Anthem” or “Peak Time” is one of the most dominant forms of dance music worldwide, consisting of energetic melodic riffs, a fast tempo and a driving bass. Almost guaranteed to fill most dance floors, this tutorial dissects the genre and discusses in detail how its composed, constructed and engineered…
As with all of our genre driven DVDs, we start with a blank sequencer and gradually construct an uplifting Trance track, examining the compositional, production and engineering skills and techniques employed in its creation for each step. We cover the entire process from the initial starting point of getting the ideas down, through synth programming, application of effects and processing, and the arrangement techniques including examining the principle behind the dual bass system, how to build drive and energy, builds, breaks, drums and of course, how to compose and synthesize the all important lead melody.
Spanning close to 8 hours of video, this edition also contains each individual audio channel from the finished track, all of the MIDI, all of the programmed synth settings as presets and all the created drum timbres individually as audio. These latter drum samples are copyright free and may be used in your own productions.
