A complete start-to-finish trance production course following the real process from the first idea through arrangement, mixing and final checks.
Listen to the finished result created throughout this course — from the first idea through to the final arrangement, processing and mix.
Understand the thinking behind a strong trance production, from studio setup and sound choices through to composition, balance and the decisions that shape the track from the beginning.
See how we create the arp, chords and complementary melodic elements from scratch, then develop them into a coherent musical section rather than a collection of disconnected sounds.
Build the foundation of the track with kick, sub, mid bass and percussion, including sound selection, processing, groove and how the individual layers are made to work together.
Use effects, atmosphere, automation, panning, reverb and delay to create movement and depth while keeping the arrangement controlled and uncluttered.
Take the individual elements and turn them into a complete trance arrangement, building energy, introducing ideas progressively, strengthening transitions and shaping the full structure.
Work through sends, returns, EQ, parallel processing and final mix decisions, then step back and assess the complete track before it leaves the production stage.

The Complete Trance Tutorial includes 10 lessons, over 6.5 hours of video, seven downloadable resources and the complete Ableton Live project used throughout the course.
