[@TheVolhan]

I used to be making music as well, but the level showed here is much higher I could ever achieve back in a day) Thank you for a great example. When the war is over (I live in Ukraine) hope to get back to music production and use some tricks shown here. Meanwhile, I wish you all to stay safe and newer to hear the air alarm and explosions...(

[@myriaddsystems]

Glory to the heroes from UK👍

[@johnnystankiewicz295]

good luck out there man

[@Asyouwere]

In which part of Ukraine do you live?

[@Yuenix]

God Bless you brother, I hope and pray you can get back to music and be done with all this war goin on in this world. be safe and may God Almighty Protect you and your families safely.

Demis why are you teasing me with that song in the first minute!? :( You know I've been begging you to release it for like a year now. PLEASEEEEEE .... I NEEEED!

I LOVE YOU FOR THIS GR8 TIPS NEED MORE TIPS LIKE START TO END TRACK WITH FINISH PRODUCT......

Kudos to demis hellen and producer RE-ORDER as their tutorials are totally industrial standard...

[@steveadams2477]

Man. This a great workflow method. I get trapped in one and 4 bar loops and dead ends. Your method of building that hook is an instant improvement to mine. Release the Sylenth1

very cool ! i wont more

One every month. May is fast approaching 😎

[@imij_music]

This is amazing. Actually transcending rn

[@rayderrich]

It was fun to see you create an arpeggio by hand instead of using a synth's or sequencer's arp section. Thanks!

[@WildsevenMusic]

Very good and helpful video...and that arp sounds sick xD

[@XenosWorld]

it's great to see you doing something like that. it always inspires me.

[@demishellen]

Thankyou. Inspiring is all I want to do 😎

[@gapster77]

I’m a Novice at best, and I’m DAWless for the best part, but this video has been very insightful. Nice job.

[@stevecolley7745]

That was a great tutorial but even better was that melody! Great stuff.

[@petrboronin1865]

Thanks man! You my hero

[@AirZeee]

Brilliant! :) I had intended on sitting down for a gaming session, but instead did something much more productive, so thanks you. Subscribed & liked, I'm off to check out more of your output now :)

[@demishellen]

That's awesome thank you for tuning in. Welcome aboard 😎

[@colkbassad]

Really well done. Thank you for focusing on the midi work completely and explaining your decisions so efficiently.

[@polznbladz3242]

I start slowing down before lunch too. Don't worry about it. I'm sure in Cubase there must be a random humanise button to select for velocity, length and note position. I use that in Logic all the time on everything apart from sub bass and kicks. Your arp workflow vids are always a winner for me.

[@demishellen]

Arpeggio and Reverb are very popular here 😎 So I will be looking at some reverbs and uses. I think a lot of people struggle with reverb and think you have to drown everything in it to get great atmosphere. Appreciate the comment Polzn as always 👍🏻

[@polznbladz3242]

@@demishellen Regarding verbs, maybe talk about how long a long delay ought to be, how short a short verb should be, in sync or in millisecs predelays,, sends. What to be looking out for. I was using sends exclusively but recently I started using the synth delays & reverbs again keeping the layered sounds in sync still by using the same dial settings. I suppose everyone goes through phases of trying different things for a while then trying something else. No right or wrong way but sometimes it can sound messy if there is phasing and clashing. Looking forward to up coming tuts. I've learned from many pro producers in the last 2 years and quite often pros use the synth delays and reverbs instead of sends

[@polznbladz3242]

@DELORM Thanks mate. I saw a vid on that a while back. I will trial that. Thanks for the tip

[@dirtysolarremix]

Sounds great!🔊🔊

[@seanvandiijk2889]

Wow bro, you just opened a channel to the Divine in just a few minutes! Trance is one of the most beautiful music genres where the light of G-d can be bestowed into our souls and bodies. By the way, this is the first time I got it clear how to make an arpeggio, i'm a samaritan producer born in Argentina and for years I wanted to discover how to make an arpeggio on my own and finally decided to look for a tutorial, I was on the right track but I thought all of this should be made using the reason arpeggiator, now I see it not in all cases you use the auto arpeggiator, but you design the arpeggio manually. I also was using lot of delay, more than 1 delay units and reverb to get a similar effect but it wasn't what I was looking for. There is a deep mystical explanation how trance work in jewish kabbalah.

[@Xangaperu]

Loved this thanks!

[@tokyomasquer]

[@demishellen]

Glad to have you on board 😉😎

[@fireraid]

Demis, I've been watching your trance arp videos and melody making videos. They've helped me tremendously. It also helped me realize the process of making the melody can extend throughout the song and give the listener a prelude into the melody and keep things very familiar throughout the track like trance should be. Learning these different styles and arps sparks tons of innovation and great inspiration in the tracks that I work on. Stay humble, stay awesome, Demis!!!

[@skibidi.G]

Stellar content on the arpeggio bro. Much needed info 👌

[@seckintuncay]

Although I don't know English. It was a very understandable educational video, thanks (I wrote it using google translator)😄

So that filter effect is just the mod wheel? What would those sounds be called in a piano like a yamaha montage or korg nautilus. Is it a saw or pluck or something else?

Do you gave how to do a hard kicks with beats and uplifting groove also tips how to give more drive and speed to groove (not more bpm) from shakers or HH

[@Danoffsideofficial]

Hi mate great tutorial, what vst are you using for this lead?

[@demishellen]

Serum, and the lead used is available via the link in the description at myloops.net

[@ConradFrain]

What VST did you use to design the pluck? Love it. Is the preset in any of your packs?

[@ianwoolley66]

Very good tutorial. What hkey was it in and how do you decide what key to work in?

[@demishellen]

F Sharp Major I think I do mention near the beginning of the screen capture I think. Honestly I play the piano all the time and if something sounds good I just go with it. F and A are always nice key to work with in my opinion. 😎

[@TheEarlyAstrotype1024]

@@demishellen I think it's F# Lydian and as far as I know, it's actually just F# Major but the fourth note is one semitone higher. This scale sounds really beautiful for trance for its skyish and spacey quality that it became my most favorite scale. I can suggest you can do tutorial about the 7 major modes. You know about C Major and A Minor have the same notes right? I think there's something more interesting lurking here.

[@saketjoshi4476]

Why didn't I stumble upon this earlier 😍 Sounds great ! Inspiring tutorial ! Channel deserves much more views & subs 💯 I would appreciate a layered trance bassline tutorial as well !! Btw what vital preset & preset bank are you using ?

[@demishellen]

Appreciate your support Saket. 😎 all presets I use are my own banks available on my website linked at the end of this comment. I will be doing a lot more videos so no doubt a bass video will be factored in sometime👍🏼 www.demishellen.com/shop

[@saketjoshi4476]

@@demishellen great to read you back 😄 Bassline is the hardest part for me - to layer & make the bassline sound right. I could never figure out which sounds to actually choose & layer. Also, the sub-bass is there & another 3 layers of mid bass are usually used in trance. This is where it gets tough for me 😅 Currently no such tut is available on whole youtube for some reason. So, I am really hoping to see your bassline tut uploaded soon 💯 God bless you !

[@saketjoshi4476]

Just checked your preset banks. They are amazing 🤩 I will consider to get one soon !! Thx alot ❤️

i wonder what patch your using and from which pack i mainly use serum and would love to know which one of your preset packs you recommend for someone who hasnt made trance before also the arp in this video sounds exactly like a virtual self lead.

[@crepkey]

I initially thought you were going to make a chord progression first and then you were going to make an arpeggio based on that chord progression.

[@olivierf.4931]

Yes it does work very well BUT it still sounds like something that has already been heard a thousand times and that is the real problem with music production in my opinion.
