TRANCE IN GENERAL

Trance is a very astonishing genre of music. It is a very broad term, I find. Trance. i mean in trance are so many different types of music. or is electronica the parent type of music to trance? like for instance rock may be considered a parent type of music to metal.

when someone is interested in creating their own trance music, what do they do? if i wanted to learn how to play rock music, i would get a guitar. simple and easy as that. or maybe a drumset, whatever. but what about trance?

I have been wondering that too. My guess would be that you should get some sorta mixer and alot of sounds. And mix or make up your own sounds.

Get some synths, a computer, mixing desk, few samplers and a program to create some sounds in. In some cases all of the above are not needed, as some programs you can get can create some cracking stuff. In essence trance is created from coputers, keyboards and syth machines.

If you're just starting out, Fruityloops isn't bad to get your feet wet. I'm getting Reason 2.0 (production software). If you are serious about it you'll want to get hard and software. Roland JP ??? something or other Access Virus Synth (I don't know all the names). Check out armin, steve helstrip, ferry, etc. whoever you like and see what they have in their studio. To do it proper it'll cost a pretty penny. I'm just going software for now... its more of a hobbey and if something good comes out of it... awesome!
