TIP: How to create an intro to your best song.

EvilEvil · Post by **EvilEvil** » Fri Nov 09, 2007 11:15 pm

This is what I am finding out now with my introductions and how to create them.

here are some facts about introductions:
1) the introduction is the most important piece of music in your song
2) introductions can be copied and pasting from one song (usually a trance hit) and pasted onto another song
3) introductions can take up to 2 hours to create, so take precaution to have enough food and water with you
4) the introduction to some songs can last up to many minutes
5) some trance music introductions are made only with Roland or Yamaha.

Now this is HOW you can create the introsudctions to your song:
1) create the intro
2) attach it to a song
3) midi it all
4) attach it to the best song that you have
5) put the song out as a vinyl or mp3 on itunes
6) when it is downloaded or played on technics, the song will play back exactly like you did create it

Is the transition to the outro for the intro called the inoutro?

outros are GoodieGoodie, reverse the intro and use an ortni.

a solid transition from song A to song B would be to take song A and copy/paste it to song B. crossfading deluxe.

i wondering now if only fading into my main song is the best intro. Should I just fade in for many many bears and beats?

how long should i do it if i work in the SMPTE? should I use the test tone for my intro?

I can't answer your question but have one that I hope you can help me with.

Can or should I use an arpegiator for my intro? If so how many and what setting should I use on each?

Thanks in advance.

Please: how could I know wich song is my best song?

SMPTE stands for "some might prefer the end"

so I guess it's more for outros

one could definetly add an arpeggiator to emphasize its intro.
question is whether or not the arpeggiator will stay during the outro phase of the intro.

the arpaggregator is frecuently used for the last part of the intro. you can use it between bars 33-35 if you think requiring it.

You can "know" its your best song by judging its quailty. for example, all of my trance compositions have scored over 100,000 platinum selling. If yours does this too than you have conceived of a best song and then you must make an intro for it.

remember that the introdution id the most important part so don't mess it up.

So, after that, I should maybe call the 100,000 persons and tell them to re-buy the definitive version of the best track. That makes sense. And it's comercially a good thing. Thank you for the tip!
