Hey Dude- Dave From Los Angeles here. Wanted to thank you so much for your videos. I am in my mid-late 30s and always wanted to make music, but that learning curve was just a little too steep. I can edit videos, but I have 0 music theory. One day I just bought a copy of FL studio, stumbled on your videos and today I've made a small EP. Your videos are so easy to follow along and it really helps to get the skeleton down to expand into something new and unique. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and keep up with the good work.

[@Jezzel]

The result is amazing! i love how you make music, especially this style. Thanks for the tutorial:)

[@elmismusic1209]

If anyone wants to explore the most beautiful genre, here are some gems 1 Darren Porter - Deep Blue 2 Armin van Buuren - Coming Home 3 Ahmed Romel & Illitheas - Lands of Soho (for me the best piece of music ever created) 4 The Avengers - Yugen (legendary stuff fr) 5 Driftmoon & Geert Huinink - Like a Knife 6 Daxson - While we Wait Edit 7 Sergey Nevone - White Swans 8 Simon o'Shine - apprehension

[@TheHiddenDesigner]

Deep Blue is beautiful. I'd also recommend Escapade by Majera and Whisper (Simon Templar Refresh) by Winkee.

[@SparksForces]

And SounEmot Promise to Love part 2 is a very beautiful track 😊

[@valentinegonsalves7322]

One of my favourite genres. Ferry Corsten's early stuff, Armin's music before 2010, Cosmic Gate, also Giuseppe Ottaviani and Nifra, and anything from Amsterdam Trance (Raz Nitzan's label).

Hey Arcade love the content. You thought me a lot of what I know about music production. One suggestion about the content is that you skip a lot of the best practices while making the guides (such as naming the patterns; coloring patterns & instruments, creating mixer channels and naming for different instruments etc...) I think these would be really helpful for beginners. Keep it up man

AYEEE finally!!!

[@valentinegonsalves7322]

Yes, Trance has faded out of the mainstream. But Trance is a genre that's acquired its own niche withing EDM. And it is one of my favourite genres of music. By the way, that bassline Arcade made is one of the most common and simple bassline. Its been used across genres be that EDM or Britney Spears and Lady GaGa (Applause). Cheers to Arcade. You made my Sunday morning, man!!

Trance is not within EDM. This is EDM. Trance is something different.

@@djperryboy I mean, look it up, they fall under the same category. It's alright though, you're free to believe whatever you want.

[@djperryboy]

@@waviation9 I don't care if 99% of the people say that it is correct. 99% of the people is mostly wrong anyway. So even in this case. Many people will always be stubborn, ignorant and stupid in some ways. I'm sure that I'm stupid sometimes too but I know my thing here. EDM is it's own genre, but just a few people understand it. You can find people here in the comments other than me saying this. I've been listening to Trance music for 28 years and been making music for over 20 years as well. After the fall of trance in 2006 some clowns came up with EDM. Some people said it had another meaning far back in time but I have never heard of it before. Anyway I know that after 2006 it came out as a genre with sharp bad quality synth sounds and repeatable beats more like house music. Even do they use strong synth sounds as well as they do in Trance music and also in the more underground Happy Hardcore scene and in the Hardstyle/Hardcore scene doesn't make it trance music. There are many many genres of trance, but all is far from EDM.

[@dj_dooc7846]

Thanks a lot arcade it s very helpful 💙💙

[@trancephile2412]

thanks for this tutorial , but Honestly i recommend it only for beginners , because basically for uplifting trance you should use Rolling Bass line , also the melody should be arp .

[@OlindelMusic]

there is a ton of things that lacks in order for this song to be called trance

That is not how you make trance professionally. He is a beginner also. He don't even know how FL works. He just want to make quick money and fame.

[@ild4099]

This is progressive trance. Uplifting trance needs to have an arp lead, the unique ⅛s rolling bassline which jumps in octaves and the unique uplifting trance kick, which has a long tail.

[@jaserace3101]

Thank you for a great tutorial. 👍🏽 I'm quite interested in your channel. I do have a question, please & ask with respect to you as an artist regardless of anyone elses comments. Also, to be clear, my question is only regarding to your samples that I may purchase too. Ok, so I'm just starting to make my own music, with the ambitions to make my own music from scratch professionally. It would be really good if I could start off by making 10 well structured, well-made, quick bangers using purchase samples from your packs. Then, I look to release my music on platforms. I then will aim to build a good artist profile of myself. Get more experience & of course some money. Then, I can afford to buy build & and develop my own studio hardware & make all my own synthesis & vocals myself. If I wanted to make music using your purchased samples, then take them to my own producer or label, my question would be to you.... Will there be any further royalties or copyright owed to you? I read a lot of clauses that are disclosed in these areas & I don't want to be misinterpreting what I read. Can there be just a straight, Yes, further copyright royalties may still apply to you....or No further copyright royalties will apply after the initial purchase. If I could get this little grey area out the way, I'll be better off for it. 👍🏽 I'm so tired of all the information overload, but don't want to be like many out there and just rip off artist or producers, making money off work that's not 100% made by my own synthesis or hardware. Even though it's my goal to further in time. 😎

Need to be ear-sensitive for sounds difference. What sound is high and what sound is low, that´s pretty much what you need.

[@michaelmich00]

the thing is, a lot of edm is the same, but the marketing and network is everything, there are thousands of producers right now not discovered because they miss those things but can prob be better than garrix, guetta etc.

[@djperryboy]

Some people want to get rich by a hit song and some are passionated in music about their whole lifes without caring that much for money. Of course everyone wants money but many people don't strive for it. They are just having fun and learn.

[@djperryboy]

Hahaha. You are hillarious.

[@foopauyee]

What is the actual DB level for each sound (Lead, chord, kick etc)??? Some music producer informed that lead sound DB Level should be -6.

[@ArcadeFL]

Just make sure the kick is the loudest 👌 leads like -1dB below it and then follow your ears but check if its lower than the kick

[@foopauyee]

@@ArcadeFL I see. I'm confused with this matter. Because some music producer informed me, Kick, Lead, melody, snare are suppose to be -6dB level.

[@MrXD-ex5rf]

Yes, I agree with you. Here, only the name comes from uplifting trance. As for me, it turned out just a progressive house of 140 bpm. In trance, the kick is different, there is mid bass. Many more can be listed

[@MrKrummelumme]

@@MrXD-ex5rf my thoughts exactly and there's just one drop
