Good job on that song! I am also more of a Progressive fan to, but that was pretty good! What equipment did you use to make that song?

i use logic 8 which is -very- outdated now... i think they're up to logic 10 now.

that's all the equipment i have really, unless you count the laptop which is a 2007 macbook with a broken h key (i spilt beer on it. i have a small mixer and a couple of mice but that's for recording practice sessions and small groups, not for this kind of music.

Really? Is there any special software you have for your computer to make Trancecmusic?

Welp, I'm playing in chapel tomorrow, and have a concert a week from today.

i don't think there's any software around which is specifically geared towards that. i'm very out of the loop nowadays though because i've been absent from music software for a very long time. logic 8 works pretty well though as a sequencer, and it has a good array of in-built synthesisers and effects units that work quite well for the purpose.

what kind of operating system are you running? ... that will narrow your choices somewhat

My computer runs Windows 7:Home Premium.

My computer runs Windows 7:Home Premium.

the best all around sequencing software i know of for windows is cubase. i used to use it a bit here and there, but i can be a bit clunky. i've heard great things about ableton in the past, but that's -really- expensive. aside from that i know absolutely nothing.

It was helpful enough for me.

AGHH! I have a concert tonight.
7:30 will start the beginning of my first ever Symphony Concert.
  Well, needless to say, I'm a little bit nervous...

Well, I wish you the best of luck! Tell us afterwards how it went.

Awesome! Enjoy yourself!

Seconded.

IS there anybody out there who likes Trance or EDM too?

love it

discovered it when i was 10 which was a kind of golden age for trance, and then when i was about 12 i started mucking around with music software and started making my own tunes, and experimenting with turntables (i was rubbish). when i was 17 i discovered jazz music however and dedicated the next 6 years to that, so trance music kinda fell by the wayside. very recently however i've unpacked my music software and had a re-aquaintance session.

I don't know trance music in and of itself, but my composition professor has been giving all of us students assignments in electronic music this semester, so I'm just starting to work my way into that with Ableton Live.

I'm finding that, unless I've actually got a piece of music written out, I have no clue what it's all going to sound like until near the end of the process, long after I've collected recordings or sound clips to work with. It's like the audio effects write the music instead of me--I hear something crazy and interesting, and then I'm like, "Yes! That's going to be in here somehow." There's just a ton of stuff to explore.

naima, I like the way the "ensemble" in supernova keeps changing throughout the whole thing. There's a ton of different textures, and it's fun to listen to. And there's this cool sort of... metal-staircase percussion sound reverberating in the background of your piece around the beginning. What were you doing there?

I checked both of those production software programs...they were really expensive. Do you know of any cheaper music-making software for Windows 7?

I've been singing for a long time and I just got a guitar for my birthday. I also started writing a song. (Not like anybody really cares about little mere rebel me XD)

[SPSF kodachorm otter7486]

[Blinn]

90% of music I listen to is in a foreign language.

This is one of my new favorites:
