How do I NOT make an amazing Trance track in Live?

Post by EvilEvil » Sat Oct 13, 2007 9:47 pm

Hello my good friends and family members,

I am hoping that someone can helping me out with this problem. Everytime I am sitting in front of the ableton I am making the greatest trance music with VST and arpaggregoats. I want to make something else now but i cannot stop making classic trance platiinum selling hits.

Do I need waves plugin to not make amazing trace records like tiesto?

Do I need some more lemur mutants for fun and relaxation?

Should I just bounce everything to one track and call it "the beeeeotch track" as I see some people doing? This seems to make it so it is still greatness but not great trance.

please some help right now.

Very Important: Involve some people of different ethnicities, as trance is usually made by pasty white kids. Get some brothas in there and your situation will change immediately.

How to Make a House Pie:

add 1 cup of tarnce
add 2 tablespoons of brother
add 1/8 of an ounce of the sticky
use a turkey baster to remove the previously added cup of tarnce
then chill at room temp

That could prove difficult for Evil, isn't his studio in the mountains of Saskatchewan? Maybe he could find some natives to come play some percussion and do some tribal singing or something? Or he could use all the money he makes from his platinum selling records to fly in ethnic people from around the world. Try that, Evil.

stereo mix buss will give you a great drum and bass click track. sidechain all your tarnce records with a click (not the drum and bass click tho) that is faster than the slow parts. when you can't hear it anymore that means you're close, so just move the slider up just a little more. can you still not hear it? good, but you've pushed it too far. wait a couple weeks and check the billboard dance charts to see if your tracks are still platinum. either way they're done and you did a good job, but feel free to boost the aux return tracks twice because you can never be too sure. now empty the trash, place your lemur files in the trash and empty it again. all of these options will give protools and logic 8 a run for their money.


star power!

The Tribulation of the Tarnce god is no small matter

It is a right of passage for the Tarnce god as he must face his demons of temptation in order to pass through into the righteousness of his spiritual coming of age

The Tarnce god always has doubts when he is in the final stages of his awakening

the metamorphosis of moth into butterfly as the padewan becomes Jedi

He will have one final Platinum hit of superstardom fame, then he shall walk the path of indignation to the flame of salvation, and from then on it's Hooooowwwwwwsse mooooooozik baybeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

1) Add a 909 kick

2) Get a JP 8000 in supersaw mode + arp and an Access Virus on the patch which you get when u first turn it one.

3) Play some Shania Twain. Sample her voice and cross modulate it with Barbara Streissand in Sampler.

sure way to improve ur music bro

There will be many people to help you along your way Evil.

You have reached a time where you have to transcend the boundaries of China and travel to india for the note written in Indian...these notes will tell you to play yoga in China...must be said though, Lemurs will need more action modules before the journey, some lemurs may not make it.
