Chlysm Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 So I've been a lurker here for a while and I've considered dabbling in a Remix or two when I get the time. Anyway, a friend of mine wants me to compose a short techno piece (1-2mins) for the end of his YouTube videos. I'm personally not into techno (I don't hate, it's just not my thing), but he told me he wanted a "trance" type of beat with a fairly subtle lead. I have no idea what "trance" is, but this was one of the beats in the "trance" bank of my arpeggiators and stuff lol. http://youtu.be/VFIqjnBrPy0 Lead comes at around 1:00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrypnyk Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 - 4-on-the-floor beat - bassline and open hat on the off beat - generic arpping saw synth - repetitive as fuck yep, this is trance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avaris Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Mixing Tutorial: Add some noise sweeps and filter modulation. This isn't a bad start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chlysm Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 That's very helpful. I'm not great at mixing more than a few tracks. Most of the work I do for other people doesn't require much mixing, and when it does, it's usually getting mixed by someone else. I did some work very recently for a friend's band. They wanted to have some strings added to a few songs for their album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimpazilla Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Track sounds quite nice. Maybe some additional drum elements could be brought in around 0:56 or so. Wow, that video is amazing, too. Love those pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love those pictures! Lol, I just threw some stuff together on the video and synced it with the keyboard sweeps. Thanks tho Anyway, the guy who wanted it likes it, he just thinks it's a bit too long, he said he wanted it around a minute, I guess I just misunderstood him lol. I suppose the appropriate course of action would be to start just before the lead comes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
