Hi, My name is Ruud and I am a trance producer from Holland. I listend to your song and it is not bad but it is little bit flat.
I like to give you some advice how to build up a trance track. Here is how to start.
Intro, hihat, bass, bassdrum, simple synth loop and maybe some FX. Bass and bassdrum are the backbone of the track. Let them work together. Build up to the break and end with fade out or noises. Start with upcoming synth's with an melody and build up to the first mild climax. Create an ending, so the people know that part is over. Intermezzo with strings, acapellas or what ever you like. Than you build up to the second part of the song, strong melody and work to the big climax and to the end. Use different chords in your melody.
I'll give you an link for piano and synth chords.
The common simple chords for trance are: E major and E#, A, G and D. The B and F chord are not so nice, but you can try it if you like. Visit the website and maybe you pick up some things you can use in your next track. Have fun making music and let the bass kick. And if you have a question, let me know.
thank u so much for the advice :) ive felt thid track was flat my self and didnt know what to do with it, im gonna strip it right back and star again folling the guidelines u have left :) im not usually a trnce producer hence the lack of knowing what to do with it,lol, im usually hard tek but ive been experimenting with various genres to see what i could do with them, so thanx buddie and ill try again....
