[@matthewmcree1992]

Wow, normally when I watch someone saying they are making "Classic 90s trance", it still ends up sounding like trance from 2005. This track actually sounds like the progressive trance made around 1997. Amazing job👍I would pay money for a release like this.

[@accent9099]

@CodeLyokoFan2002 Yes, trance style changed over the years. It become more and more a mass product. The so called "anthem trance" with the Super Saw type lead and the female vocalists was so popular. That was not bad, but it lost it's own diversity. There is a german word for this era "Mädchen-Techno".

[@hinsen]

@CodeLyokoFan2002 I don't think Trance is completely dead. It is just not as popular as 10 years ago. It doesn't bother me. I prefer trance music to be more underground than mainstream. kzbin.info/www/bejne/horMY3umr7R9qpI

Sound of my childhood... :) It's quite authentic sounding, which is a rarity. So often people haven't really understood or have forgotten how 90's trance actually sounds like. And stuff they make sounds very 2005's... it's very simple though, but that's understandable, this is a "tutorial" type of a thing, and there's no reason to make it too elaborate. There was this golden age of this style where the productions became quire elaborate and had multiple parts and elements... but this is nice reminder of what we've lost :)

Wow. This really brings back memories. I used to make trance back in the 90’s with a friend. We ran Cubase on the Atari ST, eventually moving to PC. Both had studios and between us we had a 2 x JV1080s, a Yamaha CS2X, Kawai K1, Roland D110, Akai S950, Akai S3000XL, Novation Bass Station, Yamaha TX81Z, Oscar, and a Roland MC202, and a Morpheus I think. Running through either an old Sec Desk or later a Behringer Eurodesk and into a pair of PMC Monitors. Had some outboard FX too. Great fun times.

I always loved those 90s style trance hits, and I'm hearing elements of Jam&Spoon and ATB in your track. Really enjoyed the clear explanation.

[@f0kgggle542]

The difference is that J&S were well ahead of their time. Right In The Night was made before 1994 and they had the number '2001' on the album cover which was hint at what was to come. The label was also ahead of its time: R&S.

[@matthewwhiting7208]

I’ve only just stumbled across this, so a bit late to the party! I was lucky enough to enjoy the rise of trance from the early 90’s and this track encompasses the feel of that time beautifully. No phones.. people smiling and cracking on with each other and everyone getting lost in the smoke/lasers and tunes ‘together’. It felt magical at the time and even more so now.. This track took me back for a moment, so for that.. I thank you x

I sure will. Although I'm usually quite fast in writing new music, these videos require a lot of listening and researching the specific genre to make sure it's true to the actual sound. For trance, house and rave this was a lot easier as I have been and still am producing these styles myself. Some others will be more of a challenge. But they will come for sure !
