Good God, man! Your sounds are so good, and your explanations are really great! This track is hella moving so far!

[@infinite-inspiration1111]

This channel is AMAZING there's not enough Relevant professional 'expensive' as Armin puts it sounding trance tutorials!!

[@demishellen]

Thank you, appreciate the love for the video :)

[@DazzaBurns22]

Excellent video Demis. Just what I currently need for my tune which is using some of your Vital presets. All the best mate.

[@peterhassack]

Thank you, that was really informative. Amazing that by just moving the chord notes around you can produce such a fantastic sound. I have learnt a lot - now to put it into practice. Thanks again.

[@manlee5758]

This sort of tutorial is so good to me. Thank you very much, respectable Demis.

[@UnfortunatelyTheHunger]

Personally, I think/feel suspended chords is what makes melodies and harmonies feel "trance-y"; makes them feel less cheesy and more ethereal

[@samz5943]

I tend to do plain boring chords following say a 1-5-4 or 1-4-6 pattern. I also tend to have an Arpeggio as my main melody. Starting off very simple and I don't tend to waiver too much from what I know. Templates do help get the ideas and workflow going, music theory and such helps as well. Very good

[@demishellen]

Everyone has their own way to approach chords :)

[@TheBATTranceMusic]

This is the tutorial I definitely need. Always struggling with building chord progressions. You make it look easy but when I look at my daw it becomes confusing.

[@demishellen]

Persistence and passion will make it stick dude. Write down the octaves played in on the original and then you have a reference with out having to go back and forth. Some daws like Cubase let you see notes from all midi clips you select. 💪🏽😎

Great tutorial, thanks Demis!

[@omarz7301]

This really gave me some new insides! Thanks a lot

[@Nerubian]

So in summary you choose some chords in their basic interval structures and then transform them by using inversions?

[@nathanbryers]

[@CPTLYNXY]

Can you not just use a synth piano or sampler machine to create this in real time and record?

[@roy8944]

Hello~~Can I creat a chords which root is different from bass？I can't play them Harmony...

[@demishellen]

The root is the core of your sound just like planet root is the core of its growth. You can understand chords more at www.scales-chords.com their are a lot of tools to help you there.

[@roy8944]

@@demishellen Thank you very much for your reply！It's really helped me a lot~

[@MrMikomi]

Yes you can, if you know what you are doing. All the great classical music composers did this.

[@TJ-hs1qm]

it somehow bugs me that you completely skipped the rhythmic part, that little trill you added goes a long way for example.

[@Sunstatemusic]

The most trance tunes have only 4 main chords progression often with inversions in its repetition with 4/4 meter. It's a very primitive musical construction.

[@demishellen]

It does depend on the trance listened to. We could say all music is primitive because we use the same chords. It’s our interpretation through sound design that gives those chords a new flavour.

[@Sunstatemusic]

@@demishellen i myself have about 15 uplifting trance releases, wrote long chord progressions base, but main popular hits like tracks of Kandi, Armin, Tyas are very short in its chords.

[@demishellen]

I agree however those artists are accounting for a more mainstream audience.

[@Sunstatemusic]

@@demishellen yes, thats why this kind of music is mostly for legs, but not for head

[@LawfulT]

To be frank, you change the progression so much it's not really recognizable anymore from what you started with. What you describe as "vanilla" I describe as "better," in a lot of cases. I don't understand what makes a chord vanilla or not, to me its either pleasing or not pleasing. A lot of the times I feel like you opt for a less pleasing chord because the pleasing chord is "vanilla."
