I don't make trance

and I will probably never do.

But i'll read it anyway, just to know what are the recipes.

Could be interesting, even if you learn things you really want to avoid in the future.

Haha who on the Earth think that we really need a guide to trance?

I would prefer an article like "How to clean your mind after listening to commercial trance" or something :)

(I don't want to be offensive, don't blame me for that. I loved trance - years ago...)

I'm still waiting for the "Progressive House: What To Label Your Trance Song So Nobody Will Hate On You" issue.

I haven't read much Computer Music, but the articles I've seen usually seem to bring the production of a track down to getting certain plug in, loading a preset, tweaking it a little, processing it some here and there and on to the next track. They don't seem to go much in depth with their articles, and I can see how that could be misleading.

also...

DO THE JESUS!!!!!

Because now there are recipes for it
From the Autechre Wikipedia site:

In response to comments about their unique sound, Autechre argue that given the incredible range of tools available to modern composers, especially in the electronic genres, it is incomprehensible that any band should “sound like” any other band.

I.e., for me it's pretty sad that someone would want to sound like others using recipes from a magazine. There are some good parts about mastering and so on, but most of those electro/trance/minimalist recipes is just leading innocent newcomers on the wrong path, instead of expressing themselves they express some kind of bland sameness.

Amen !!!!

very good this dvd,
although all of the track building is done in logic....
it does give a good insight into structure, effects and using various plug ins..
when creating a trance track.
i do personally really like the track featured on the dvd,
it is his latest release "on the 7th day".
mr tate also throws in some nice handy tips about dos and donts in the music production game.
only downfall.....this can become a bit confusing when trying to do the same thing in live with buss channels etc.
but there are other ways round it!
