How Armin van Buuren Became the Trance Legend

[@EDMTips]

Should I release this track?? 🤔(Hopefully Armin won't mind!) Let me know in the comments 👇

[@LanceJordan]

It's not for any lack of your enthusiasm, but I'm just not a fan of this style of music. But if I were going to make any constructive comments it might be to slow down, maybe pitch down the spoken part. Also I'd try to shorten the s sibilance on the tag line. Otherwise I'm firmly in the MTNEA(make trance not exist again) camp. 😂

[@projectsevn]

I think that vocal suits the track really well! Epic result!

[@Schallkoma_Rockenberg]

u should send it to armin i bet he would release it with u :)

[@dbdbdb12345]

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@djchemie]

Everytime Will makes a trance style tutorial, he is having these out of world experiences and feelings 😂 You can tell he loves it! Another great one 👍

[@wernerxldata]

The trance ninja is taking over his mind 😂

[@EDMTips]

I do love trance! I love a lot of genres, if I am honest but sometimes inspiration takes me and all I can do is see where I end 😁

[@nachiketrazdan7537]

I have started making music just as a hoby, the one thing I realised is that when you explain it feels so simple and easy. Literally after everyone of your video i feel like, I am gonna make bangers in just a few hours but when you sit down and try to do stuff, reality hits you and you realise its not that easy as i thought it would be 😅😅

[@EDMTips]

That’s true! It takes practise. If you want help, feedback and support, definitely check out my Accelerator program

That you can externalise everything that happens in your head is very important for us, for some it can be annoying, but for what we want to learn it is very important, it helps us to understand your building process. Thank you very much!

Armin being the reason I started making music is my personal favourite DJ. I really loved this tutorial, thanks again Will. It's crazy how similar this is to some of his latest releases.

[@EDMTips]

Thank you so much, I am stoked you enjoyed it! 🙂🙌🏻🙏🏻

[@gossipboynyc9625-VN]

Believe it or not, Armin is a man of deep faith. 'what many people don’t know about van Buuren is that he is a devout Christian, and that his faith plays a big role in his music and his life. In an interview with Dutch publication Nieuwe Revu, van Buuren opened up about his beliefs and how they influence his work. “I do believe in God,” he said. ” I think that’s one of the reasons why my music has been so successful, because it has a positive message.” Van Buuren went on to explain that his music is all about bringing people together and making them happy, something that he believes is in line with God’s will. “I think that if there’s a God, he or she wants us to be happy and to enjoy our lives,”'

[@twintelemusic]

this is my favorite video you created yet. Trance is by far the most time consuming and difficult genre to produce and it really shows why everyone sticks to the other genres (no hate) but the reward is sweeter than sweet. I began my production journey because of Armin. Thank you for this free gold. You're the best, Will!

[@brokko_le3]

Wow. At the beginning I thought this track wasn't goin anywhere, then slowly but steadily it morphed into a solid track! Being able to see the possibilities is truly a wonderful skill. On Armin's advice. This morning I woke up with a cool tune and most of all a good beat inside my head. I started my DAW and as soon as I grabbed the first samples to create it with they sounded so different that it wiped the whole idea from my head. I have that a lot I must say. I wish I could record those kind of thoughts.

[@EDMTips]

Hum them out, it's probably the easiest :) Glad you liked the video and the track in the end. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel, I really appreciate it 🙌🏻🙏🏻

[@DJHeyOfficial]

I think it’s so cool you decided to put Armin‘s voice in this track, and the melody is dope too! I seriously think you need to get in touch with him and ask if he’d be interested in releasing it with you! If you guys do decide to release it, you should come out with an extended version because I’d love to play it on my show “Trance By Touch” and in the clubs. If you want a title suggestion, I’d say “the Melody Is Sent To You” (Feat. Armin Van Buuren.

Thanks Will. I really like these trance songs you make highlighting famous artists styles.. I'm following along in cubase and really learning a lot.
