My problem- I was a tribute rock musician in the 90's, and have got into trance music over the last ten years. In over the last 18 months i've put together a project studio, consisting, logic 8, mixer, roland v-synth gt, korg triton extreme & electribe emx1 and a virus ti. I have no problem coming up with ideas, or melodys, but the problem starts when i begin to mix. The mix always sounds bass heavy, and muddy when played back on anythin other than my setup. Where am i going wrong? I'm mixing with headphones and a pair of krk monitors? hi georgio,

Love what your doing here this is truly great. Not many pro musicians these days take the time to give a little you know. I think i speak for all of us when i say we are greatful on every level. One thing though, when i click on the sidekick lemon link the page opens and the website comes up but it sais that i dont have permission to view the page. Any help?? and another thing the Sylenth is just a demo. I want it so bad looks and SOUNDS like a great synth. any ways to find it cheap?? One last thing ahah. I was wondering if i could send you some of my work? I know your busy but some input from someone of your calliber would be so great! Let me know :) G Looper Giorgio!

Robin: thanks for your comments! Trance Unity was written at a point where I was sick of hearing that "trance was dead" back in 2001, a series of remixes were made in 2003, I believe you may have the Zilent Recall remix produced by Marco Torrance. It's the only official version without a 4/4 beat. My philosophy with this track and my other productions in general is simple: high energy and powerful melodies are the key though lately I tend to make more tech stuff which has less melodies. The lyrics in Trance Unity weren't exactly "sophisticated" but I was young and it was a bit of a "rebel yell" against the press that was calling "dead" a genre which has clearly become huge. I may write a separate post about Trance Unity itself!

Perhaps, it is perfect. I find it akin to Poe setting to write the perfect peom and ending up with The Raven, a perfect poem. It's appropriately epic and euphoric without the arrogance associated with trance, it has a proper balances of tension and release, is not cluttered with too many sounds, the melodic lines blend well together or stand alone. Nothing detracts from the overall theme or seems out of place. That, or all the pads are simply mixed well. The final execution of the drop or whatever you call it, the drums don't play a standard four to the floor in the version i have. it's ballad like beat thoughout. the lead line sounds like the product of a longer notes gated by side chain with an upbeat delay on that. it's simple production yet impressive. there's clearly art to it. i bet you're tired of hearing about it. why do you think Trance Unity is a successful track? what's your philosophy on it in general? hai,

I'll see if I can do something like that in the future, interestingly I have seen that Sonic Academy just released a similar tutorial to what your are asking for! I haven't checked it yet though so I'm not sure how in-depth it goes! Hi Dawson,
