If you're looking to elevate your trance music production, here are three tricks that can help:




Use Lush Pads and Atmospheric Effects: Trance music often relies heavily on atmospheric sounds and lush pads to create an ethereal and otherworldly mood. To create these sounds, experiment with using reverb and delay effects on your synth patches, as well as layering multiple sounds together to create a fuller and more immersive sound. You can also use atmospheric effects like white noise, risers, and fallers to build tension and release throughout your track.




Incorporate Arpeggios and Chord Progressions: Trance music often features arpeggios and chord progressions that are designed to create a sense of euphoria and emotional release. To create these sounds, experiment with using a variety of chord voicings and inversions, and use arpeggiators to create complex and evolving patterns that move with the rhythm of the track. You can also experiment with adding in different scales and modes to create more interesting and complex harmonic progressions.




Use Sidechain Compression to Create Pumping Basslines: Trance music often features a driving and energetic bassline that is designed to get people dancing. To create this effect, use sidechain compression to pump the bassline in time with the kick drum. This will create a sense of energy and movement in the track, and help the bassline cut through the mix. You can also experiment with using different bass sounds and layering them together to create a fuller and more dynamic sound.
