What's up guys!
Today we're looking at some Psytrance Leads that were requested by a viewer, it's the main lead from the Mystical Complex track "Optimus Prime"
We also look at a couple of variations to give the sound your own unique spin!
I transposed the MIDI to C minor to make it easier for you guys to experiment with my "Music Theory Hack" and incorporate the MIDI into your tracks!

How to make mystical complex lead

[@UralaTAO]

You're a legend brother :)

[@dankstank6121]

how did it take me two years to find this when ive been looking all my life for this

[@Violentic81]

You are extraordinary. U simply create a next gen of psy producers, just awesome

[@KelseyBDJ]

I've known for a while this type of sound is made using a filter but never really put it into practice until now. A very easy tutorial to get my head around. Thanks man!

[@joeegassy]

Very informative video! I really like that you not only show how to do that exact sound, but also explain how to develop it further. Thank You ♥

[@DashGlitch]

Thanks man! Yep, I figured there's so many tutorials showing you how to make a specific sound, but nothing showing you why those parameters do what they do, and how to add your own unique spice :)

Great Tutorial! Really would like to see more of such complex leads and sequences.

[@Daniel_innersightmusic]

When Dash make it look easy 👌

[@tephalusname9820]

[@modalgrabe2501]

haha mystical complex lead :m.. good stuff bro cheers! RIP SPACE TRIBE

[@modalgrabe2501]

wooo! kinda like electric universe! :) been searching youtube for a loooong time. struggle to find this kinda tutorial. most psy lead tutorials are either FM or random LFO/forest sound

[@alles-dnash5405]

Great Stuff. Helped a lot!!!, thanks man. Keep em coming.

[@josslyn303]

[@DashGlitch]

Thanks man

[@idopido1]

thank youuuuu

[@pharmaladecream3867]

If only I had found you whilst I was still into prog.. That said, I'd love to see your approach to darker, forest/hitechy styles :)

[@alvaropena1368]

You're a wizard mate

[@DashGlitch]

Thanks 😃 but credit to the real wizard, Mystical Complex 🙏

[@Tubespuge]

Nice! Lots of goodies in this one :) So that's how you use filter automation to get that squealing sound for a tremolo-like 16th note part - exactly what I've been looking for! Thank you :)

[@athamz9872]

It's also D-maniacs signature sound, but he does it with synth1 :)

[@ONEALIEN24]

he did gain .......dash saving souls

[@Alon21Ashkenazi]

Hey man, first of all - great tutorial as always thanks! I found this while trying to actually create the mystical complex bassline which a lot of people do these days. it sounds like just a sub, but just a sub is too low in volume and takes a lot of headroom and just saturating it doesn't do the work (I think) so there's gotta be more to it. I'm talking about Mystical Complex - Serenah

[@Mistahxxbob]

Hi dash, could you possibly explain the music theory of the writing the midi notes for achieving that pattern, the synthesis of the sound itself was superb, but i wouldnt know how to generate a similar melody in key to my project im working in.. any quick tips would be helpful

[@kelvenstoic]

Nice job!

[@DashGlitch]

Thanks

[@murilohrg9163]

man, u are awesome :O

[@chrisharris420]

Technical hitch lead style Bro ❤️

[@thomasavignon7661]

Yes please!

[@mactepnr]

ty

[@splrecords3121]

Monstrooooooo

[@wesleyerasmus212]

HEY!!! LOOK!!! ITS DASH!!!

[@hardyheartmann4688]

very close. but u missed some melodic movement i guess. like not using always C there is some third and seventh movement i think

[@zygican]

Can you cover Armin Van Buuren's psytrance drum patterns? I love them but I feel they are quite unique compared to regular psytrance you can find tuts for!

[@idopido1]

can you make a video about creating those electric universe leads? (electric universe the artist)

[@DashGlitch]

Ok, please send an example link with time stamp :)

[@idopido1]

1:2t how to make all those synths and how to put them all together...

[@weqdqwsq]

Not all "those synths", but that "metallic" synth that enters in 1:20 would be great! :)

[@zeglive822]

make a video Burn in Noise arpgsss

[@AdiBrighlight]

sirum seems to be the one to use, right? I was thinking to get “reason”

[@25786426]

What do you mean? Serum is a software synthesizer - the instrument - and Reason is a DAW - the production suite. Serum will work within any DAW (Reason, Logic, Ableton, FL Studio, etc. or like in the video - Cubase). If you're looking to buy a software synthesizer - Pigments 2 is currently on sale and really powerful!

[@Hisoka394]

Hello Dash , do you think I can learn how to make psytrance music even if I never took any basic music course?

[@VonMartins]

Hey, I think every producer should know about music theory, at least any basics on harmony. Psytrance plays with a lot of harmony on layers, but not as much as other genres. So you could try

[@Hisoka394]

Thanks man

[@DashGlitch]

Many really good producers get by with minimal theory background, I would suggest reading and learning as much as you can now though :)

[@Hisoka394]

thanks man :)
