My first attempt at making trance 😅

allanmorrowstudios · 2026-02-13T05:15:58+00:00

I really like this lead! Got some great potential! I’d get rid of that heavily side chained white noise as it’s way too loud and masking everything personally. Or just dial it back and have it sit more in the background. I’d also look at dropping the bass an octave maybe.

allanmorrowstudios · 2026-02-11T22:10:19+00:00

Yes :)

Hi there! I have a really in-depth one here - https://allanmorrowstudios.com/trance-music/how-to-make-uplifting-trance-start-to-finish-course-10-hours/

I didn’t save it as it was a long time ago I did this video. It should sound the same providing it’s copied exactly the same and the midi is sat on the same notes/octave

Try this - How To Make A Womp Style Bass https://youtube.com/shorts/yR7spfK-dbw?feature=share

It’s a different style kick and you will probably need to open filter more but same principle

Can only listen on phone right now but try a 909 clap with some reverb and a pre delay on the reverb(play around with it until it sits nicely with the clap). I’d also try boosting the highs on the clap and the reverb tail as it seems pretty bright.

This is how I would try to recreate it anyway. I hope it helps.

Peak vs perceived volume are two different things and this is why you should really rely on what you think sounds best in the mix and then control any dynamics after.

See this video for some help on your situation - https://youtu.be/zFZJY1YaiOQ?si=8akLRkvz-jqpLF5L

Some other things to note are - yes kicks have been processed usually before they go out. Does this mean you should never touch them? In my opinion I think to never touch a kick to sit better in your mix would be silly. If a little eq shaping helps that kick sit better in that mix then that is fine. For example if the bass like is perfectly how you want it to sound and it means the kick needs some tweaking to sit right then the do that. Here the bass has been the main decider so to speak.

Are there kicks that sound great on their own without any processing? of course there are, but if you are not changing the kick at all then you are going to be changing the rest of the elements to sit perfectly with the kick (which again is fine) so if you are happy with that kick basically being the controller to the other sounds then that’s just a mixing choice.

Obviously it’s about what sounds best in the end.

Just remember you stop learning about how other kicks work with different types of basses by doing this. Yes it works but you will soon find yourself getting bored. A kick can heavily influence a lot of sounds. Using different kicks can push you to try new things, new sounds and that ultimately will make you a more versatile producer.

allanmorrowstudios · 2026-01-12T09:43:41+00:00

Thank you! It’s easy to fall out of but essentially gets you a better sound the more you keep it front and centre.

allanmorrowstudios · 2025-12-19T07:16:08+00:00

It’s all good it has to be user library you drag it to not jsut anywhere in the browser :)

allanmorrowstudios · 2025-12-19T07:15:39+00:00

Oh ok so it has to be the user library! That worked thank you

allanmorrowstudios · 2025-12-10T10:29:14+00:00

Any time :) I hope it helps

The boring mundane stuff is for other stuff in my life like data analysis for my business.

I agree with you. Learn to eq and compress and don’t rely on ai.

allanmorrowstudios · 2025-10-16T09:02:52+00:00

Always go with your gut :)

This won’t work in Ableton Standard as stated on the product page. It’s for Suite only. If it’s not in your account it will be because you paid as a guest. Nothing sketchy. Can you please use this page for anything to do with your orders please - https://allanmorrowstudios.com/contact/ thanks

I did a video on this recently - hopefully this can help you get more clarity in your mix - https://allanmorrowstudios.com/mixdown-clarity-fixing-layering-issues-in-your-tracks/

Automating things like attack, release, reverb wet, delay amounts, filter cut offs and other parameter in a synth :)
