@gigelbecali8072 3 ай бұрын

It will be great if you could continue what you started here, with the lead, and build a full track from it. And go through all the stages of production, mixing, mastering. As a side note, the Macro tips at the end are gold.

Just bought Serum to improve my own trance music, since I find it lacking in quality. Then I found your channel when looking for Serum tutorials. You quickly became my favorite Trance tutorial KZfaqr. Thank you so much for helping people create awesome synth sounds and trance music. I really appreciate your work. :)

Love this - totally forgot about grouping in the channel to have multiple copies of my synth rather than separate channels in the mixer then grouped as a bus! Gonna do this from now on so I have just one macro-filter to adjust instead of like 4 - 7 different ones.

Hey, ReOrder. Thanks for the fantastic tutorials. If I may suggest a topic for one, I would gladly hear about terminology and specifics of a trance music. In particular what I'd like to hear are properties of trance like tempo, key, the construction of a track (e.g. kick on-beat, hihat off-beat, length of a phrase etc.), what is a drop, what is a breakdown, what are the arps, melody and counter-melody (and others, if there are such ones), what kind of synths play role in a trance (e.g. sub bass, mid bass, leads, pads, plucks etc. and their role), and so on. I'm hopelessly searching for such a compendium everywhere in the Internet and cannot find one :( And I'm not asking for the details on each one, but just an explanation, so that beginners like me can at least have some point of reference to search the topic further. Please consider.

@djvar94 3 ай бұрын

Also, as Allan Morrow showed, it is sometimes best to strip out the Bass notes from the MIDI sequence so that they don't fill out or distort the synth too much and just put those bass notes on a separate layer instead on their own and just treat those separately. This will also help you out when you're trying to EQ those layers so that you have a clearer, more granular control over the frequencies. Not to mention also separate control over the filtre cutoff and resonance, amp and filtre envelopes as well as all the other parameters in the synth. Another great independent control you'll have is to be able to transpose the synths one from another up or down as you please without affecting the bass notes either.

🎉very happy about the video Ill try this never did it before;) but as we all know the Vital VST is a CPU Killer 😅😅😅 So if i layer three or four leads together it might be too much for the laptop xD i was thinking either to resample it or use Sylenth 1 instead wich is more CPU friendly ;) Thanks a lot for the tips my friend will let you know how it came out peace&Love Keep the good trance going Becouse its not many of it now days 😊

So i see you dont take out the bottom end frequencies from each lead and do it all together at the end of the bus? I have been cutting out the lows of each one? Does that matter? Love your preset banks man!

Well it does in the break. That low end makes it fuller;)

Yeah makes sense! I normally cut my leads around 100-110hz depending when it’s with everything else but again dependent what I’m looking to achieve but I’ll remember about that in the break in future haha! Loving this channel, needed to touch up on a few things 🙌

@djvar94 3 ай бұрын

I actually don't agree with the approach of boosting to try to find the 'ugly frequencies' because when you're boosting the EQ to the full you'll end up with like 80 EQ bands that are all cutting down, as when you boost EQ bands like that you'll inevitably think that those frequencies sound bad, but that's just because you boosted the crap out of them. Instead, a better approach to this mixing stage is to try and do the opposite: cut away a specific frequency band and see if the sound improves. If instead it sounds lifeless/empty, you know that that's not a band to cut out and you should leave it as it is, or if it sounds good then you could cut it a bit. But always don't just pull out the EQ for absolutely everything, as with all other mixing effects, mixing decisions must have a purpose. Like in your case it's all about balancing the individual layers so that each have their own space in the stack and sound balanced. But just saying to other people who might not know much about mixing in general, if a layer sounds fine as it is, don't just add an EQ and start messing with it. If a layer sounds good as it is just leave it as it is.

@reorderdj 3 ай бұрын

That is why i cut only what doesn’t make the whole stack sound nice;)

in 2003 there was no layering and epic tracks were created that are legendary to this day. For example, Ron Van Den Beuken's work. Now technology advances beyond the limits of human imagination when it comes to the production of electronic music, and yet there are a multitude of releases using the same colors or musical notation. Creativity is lost somewhere, with an emphasis on the desire to make it on the EDM scene at all costs.

@hcl8836 19 күн бұрын

Overall nice tutorial … but seriously? You but almost everything in the maag up? In the end its almost the same as boosting the volume and cut the lows even further. That’s overall too much unneeded EQing in my opinion. Also pushing the highs this much leaves no room for the mastering stage.
