You're the only professional Trance artist I know that exposes your workflow, thanks for the outstanding tutorials to help we beginners, I've been only producing Trance for 8 months, and you videos have been of great help. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@prmx89]

so true 10/10! Thank you a lot Max!

[@MaxBraiman]

Amethyst Vensa Thanks man :)

[@SolarAudio]

Amethyst Vensa I am doing some of that as well! I just released a new part of my project today.

[@w.h6064]

Amethyst Vensa yep, dito! thnx that was nice

[@almalaga3924]

expose his workflow....paying,mate..not for free.obviosly he need to eat like anybody else..good job mate

[@stefansls1]

You are the only producer that i found that actually understands "Progressive trance" all the other producers make the new age, big room music which i dislike, because it just hides a lot of the qualities of good music. I love the old 2000 progressive genres. Like "in search of sunrise 4" awww that stuff is the drug for me. :) You are amazing man, i just wanted to tell you that. and thx for the tutorial now i understand better how progressive trance goes. :)

[@swimmerspack40k62]

This made my soul ache. I don't think I've been moved by music like this since I was in my early teens and in my left field phase. I'm dedicating myself to learning how to make music like this!

[@miszczmateusz]

techno is beautyfull

[@ferranbujalancedevesa7420]

Max, I can't say how many times I've watched this video since the moment you uploaded it. This vibes man... it really makes feel like I'm at Ibiza in 2005 listening to trance all day long. Just unreal how this video (a tutorial) has awaken such a nostalgic feeling about a world I've never ever been to. Every year I just wish this was a finished song I could hear 24/7. Congratulations Max, just wanted to make you know that somehow you managed to inspire me and make me happy.

[@burakgun8309]

OMG Real Old Prog Trance Education...

[@TomPijnappel]

You're very professional, Max. Really appreciate your tutorials. I'm 'trying' to make Trance already for a couple of years, much harder than I could ever expected.

[@akiriisio8558]

The bass is astonishing. Every now and then I browse some of my liked videos on yt and this is probably the only one I click every time when browsing. This incredible sound makes me so relaxed, so even after 5 years, big thank you

[@shayanbahrami4751]

This is the best tutorial I've seen on youtube for Trance, thank you so much!

[@BreannaMae]

SEE this proves that amazing things can be done with FL Studio!!! I've been using this program since the very first version of it and so many people would criticize me for choosing this over software like Pro Tools, Cubase, Reason or Ableton. Though for a while I did switch from FL Studio to some of the other DAWs I just listed, FL will always be a favorite of mine. If you know what you're doing and have some great VST plugins at your finger tips ...you truly can create amazing music. I actually used FL Studio to produce a song for a songwriting contest a few years ago and won the contest. :) Great work in this video!

[@LeJenDmuir]

+Simply Visual check out my tunes.. i also made them on fl.. love the DAW to bits. and ill never change it.. also my buddy Dr Trominal. his also a 100% FL studio producer. .. :D soundcloud.com/nanobotz-1 soundcloud.com/drtrominal

[@kingprone7846]

all DAWs are the same. just depends on the workflow you like.... FL studio historically had less functionally than cubase/nuendo. Hence.

[@ferranbujalancedevesa7420]

Hi Max, just wanted to say that this video is one that I keep constantly watching from time to time. It’s incredible the vibes that this gives me. Just incredible

[@zakariamazouz99]

Just here to remind you to vibe to this bloody masterpiece yet again 😂

[@djcurka202]

good job maxx :). i have been producing trance for just under 2 years and have learnt alot from your tutorials

[@TranceMusicEventsUK]

HOW HAVE YOU NOT GOT MORE FOLLOWERS!!!!!!!!!?????????????? Absolutely awesome videos ive watched them all and used some of your techniques in my own tracks to help progress my skills. it doesnt matter if you dont explain anything i love the workflow

[@gylp2]

love this tutorial straight to the point and easy to follow and learn 👍

[@YamiMajic]

Gonna take what I learn from here and some of your other videos and try to make a trance track. Thanks for uploading these.

[@tadenta5124]

Great tutorial Max, thank you for sharing your knowledge :)

[@buzzpsy]

Thanks brother for your lovely help, I tried it using a different vst but works exactly the same, thank you!!!

[@orangediveteam]

Respect. -> brilliant work Max!

Excellent as always Max keep it up. Cheers :)

[@upervortex3253]

It doesn't matter what other people think about your work, you're one of the best producers I have been pleased to find in youtube, and if bad comments are bothering you just remember how many people would like to get your level of epicness at the moment of producing some trance, good job ;) ps: I speak spanish so I think I must improve my english a little bit, hope this message to be clear for you, and really hope to get that level of production and creativity one day :'v

[@MaxBraiman]

Thanks for the support man, you can get to any level you want, depends on how much time you are willing to spend. Patience is key.

[@upervortex3253]

youre tutorials are awesome man.if you could do the rest of it (like arrangement and mastering stuff) it would be great.where did you get that acappellas by the way?

[@SHMIKOS14A]

Hey Max, love your work mate. Is it possible for you to make a list of the most important plugins that you use/recommend to make your progressive trance? I’ve taken note of the ones you’ve used to make this tune, are they’re any others you use or recommend? I’m just starting out with FL studio and need some advice. Cheers from Australia.

Sounds Fresh ! Max, you can, alternatively, just middle click on the sample so that it loads up in the selected track :)

[@kswindia]

Max Braiman Cheers Max !

[@ReadyToEnjoyYou]

This is wonderful, chill trance... the way it should be. Great work dude, keep it up! And by the way... How are you mastering your tracks? Headphones or you have good speakers with a subbass?

nice one Max

this just made me get fl studio again lol thanks!

[@Eternal_Absol]

God! That was awesome!!!! This is the beauty trance!!! I want to buy it, but i dont know if you finish it. :(

[@osiemnascie]

love it! :)

[@beerwineking9082]

Cool tutorial. Do you use sound libraries that come with FL or do you add your own from other sources? Just curious cause I noticed you have way more sounds and plugins than my version of FL does.

[@Gusraex2000]

Awesome

[@eldera1474]

That's amazing ^^

[@MaxBraiman]

@count fleet I lowpass the master so I can hear the lowend properly without the highs/mids playing tricks with my ears. I do this just to get a better kick/bass mix

[@srndr6760]

so you are the guy who dont use waves in his projects..?

[@JurassicTrance]

Well some of them are vanilla Vengeance samples - perhaps for the purpose of simplicity this video. I would hope that a serious producer not take short-cuts on a track.

[@estehbread]

Can you make a tutorial on how to make your own synths and basses with spire using the initial sound? I wanted to make the bass you made but i can't get it exact. How do you know which knobs make what sound or how the configure it?

[@timmy_team_6285]

lol, you would be surprised. Majority of listeners dont even know what Vengeance samples is. Why would they care. People have a misconcetion that complicated means it sounds better. NO.

[@AnonymAnonymAn]

I made the exact same bass but it wont sound the same cause he has some Bass Tool in his Master thats why.

[@Phanter141]

Did you release this song? It's so awesome!!!

[@rpgsounddesign643]

[@damienholland8103]

Just bought FL Producer and really appreciate this tutorial. Some thoughts: - I'm not about to spend $180 on that Fab Filter Pro-Q plug-in but I might get it in the future dependingly. - I did just buy the Monster Kicks Volume 1 from Octopus Sound. That was a good tip. - I notice the Master doesn't have Fruity Limiter by default so I removed it as well. - I don't see "TP Bass Lane" as an option but when I Google it it seems to be freeware from Tone Projects called Basslane. Installed. - "Spire" is $129 I'll keep it in mind for later as well. - I know how to play the piano but I am very, very much a beginner here. Thanks for your help.

[@lunarelement1013]

Try just download the plugins and search some activation keys on google to test out the plugins is a perfect method

[@irVz]

Nice man =)

[@khanniggaa]

which Bpm acapella used in end of the video Max

[@tkshmi]

nice sounds & video!! please tell me about acapella sample.

[@TheShadowpickle]

Hey Max, great tutorial! Could you please tell me where you got all of the acapellas? I can never seem to find any good acapellas to use..

[@prmx89]

as I see this is samples pack available to buy on the website :P Try find web search where to buy it mate:)

[@christhebest6289]

Could you tell me what kind of samples you typically use for the drum and bass sounds while making trance music? I can't read what you click on right at the beginning of this video ...artificial (?)... kicks vol.1 (?) What do you think of the Freshly Squeezed Samples by Dave Parkinson? Is there any freeware you could also recommend for this?

[@salo874]

this needs an release date

[@woutervanderwolf7408]

How make the perfect Bassline for Progressive trance?

[@damienholland8103]

- 02:01 Gross Beat is $99 and the demo version doesn't have Prog as a preset. I tried shaping the graph to look the same, manually, but was unable to save it lol. I wonder if it'll make a big difference if I leave that out. I read the definition and found it interesting: "For those who are unfamiliar, means using the output of one track, such as a kick drum, to alter the compression on another track, such as a bassline. In simple terms, it's a way to set up your mix so that when one sound comes in, another one quiets down."

[@christianinacio5483]

Where find the extended version this is it?

[@DICKTURPIN1976]

Was about to comment saying. "Jeezuz this sounds really professionally made!" Then come across comments saying your the only pro who reveals their production techniques. Lol apologies for not knowing who you are. Excellent tutorial mate I have to say. 👍 had a crack at fk studio a few years ago. Never had a proper understanding on how to use it to its full potential though. Everything i made sounded very poor! Lol Watching this makes me want to have another bash though I have to say. Cheers for sharing 👍

[@MaxBraiman]

dick turpin I found FL 10 to be the best for me, ive tried 11 and 12, feels like a downgrade.

[@DICKTURPIN1976]

Max Braiman in all honesty max I don't think it was the software in this case.... I think it was me haha. I think it may of been fl 9 which I had, the producer edition. It was more a case of not knowing how to get the sound I wanted. Watching videos like your own though is giving me itchy fingers to install it again. That being said I'd need to upgrade my pc also. Great vids you got there though mate. Like what's been posted, us amateurs need a little help out there man! Haha

[@BBiGiBB]

Dear Max, have you ever finished this track? If no please suggest me a progressive trance which has this kind a vibe ( i dont mind your's or someone else's). Sincerely

[@thewhiteheromainchannel]

Fruity Wrapper does not open up for me, it just says "Select a plugin from FL's plugin list to load it". I would be very grateful is someone helped me out.

This is so fckin' great - I wish it was an actual tune. 😢

[@MaxBraiman]

Giancarlo Severiche sounds like a good idea. I could actually make a free template with playlist markers to note the transitions.

[@giancarloseveriche4269]

That would be just amazing, i find that one of the biggest problems as a beginner is to be able to properly arrange a track, thank you!

+DJ Hylian (HylianMusic) yeah check my most recent video

[@digitalbeat666]

Good tutorial. Thanks for sharing your FL knowledge. I still bit inexperienced with fruity because have produced with Reason and Renoise.

[@MaxBraiman]

Digital Beat Music I use reason aswell

[@Metalfreaken]

+Max Braiman Do you find yourself using exclusively one or the other, shifting between several DAWs for individual tracks, or do you sometimes use both or more in the creation of one track?

[@MaxBraiman]

Metalfreaken i alternate between a few DAWs but fl studio is the best imo

[@Metalfreaken]

Ah okay. It would be interesting to see a similar video like this, using Reason :)
