I started producing back in 2007 and spent years in trance only to become jaded and really disliking the direction of the genre. I spent the past year or two rediscovering the reason I fell in love with the genre to begin with. Gatecrasher era was my entry point and the uplifting era of the mid to late 00s kept be inspired, but after the turn of the decade, the scene changed. Now it's about who's the loudest and hardest, and the journey and wonder are lost.
Watching this video makes me really happy since you're confirming a few things I noticed that classic trance does differently (no hard build, usually just going from break to peak with a transition). In other cases, this idea of break into peak was entirely scrapped and progression took over (see Art of Trance - Mongoose (Tektonik Remix)). Tracks were widely varied in terms of theme and idea presentation. Of course, some stuff sounds similar since most artists were using the JP8000 or JP8080 around the turn of the millenia, but I feel it was too a lesser extent than now (ironically we have almost limitless hardware and software options, but most trance producers still stick to Sylenth1, Nexus, and Virus).
Anyway, I digress, nice video and glad to see it in my DAW of choice. Hopefully like minded producers can bring the genre back. I used to listen for hours and hours, and I can't even make it through the Beatport top 10 for trance without getting ear fatigue.
Really nice to see you enjoyed the video and yes trance is not to everyones taste in the modern era. Although sub genres of trance are still legitimately trance, the original of trance has got lost amongst a lot of trance but I believe this is down to hardware and software advancements as well and sub genre advancements. The same could be said for house music, pop music etc but everything does return to its origins at sometime and the beauty is reborn. :) At least we still can enjoy the original of trance at any time we want to.
@@demishellen there's also the matter of electronic music production becoming much more accessible than before. It brings in a lot of fresh ideas, but can also muddy the waters with sub par quality music. Amateur producers aren't thinking about dynamics when they're just trying to sound like Sean Tyas.
I fully agree with you
Perfect tune melody man
I want make melodys like old trance but i cant
Exactly look like 90s trance 👍
But you Forget a piano key
Like paul van dyk songs or children rip robert miles 🤦🏿♂️😍
Yes, notes is must have "dream trance" style :)
Would definitely like to see more classic sounding tracks, I've also considered revisiting that era myself
Would be a good project, i really do think original trance have the emotion and drive, now we have drive then emotion.
See that's what made me a trance head in the first place. There was sooo much emotion in late 90's- early 2000's trance, especially the vocal tracks. I'd really like to see that make a comeback.
Exactly! 90s pop made a come back, 80s synthesis has. 😎
I'm also totally okay with the synthwave revival.
I gotta say, you inspired me to start working on a classic trance track, so that's what I've been working on all afternoon.
Viva la trance!
@@bunkowske Epic, if you are part of demis hellen chat on facebook you can share you work there for all to see . Just a thought no pressure
Great idea to make "classic" Trance, an album I'd like to hear 😁🐿
i have struggled with proper track layering and tension, this is gonna b great to look at, cheers
No problem glad to have inspired a little. 🎛🙂
What I love about this track is that it brings more of the idea of taking the listener on a journey and not just a sort of cut and shut in and out.
oh my ... this is amazing
Thank you man. It’s literally just released today.

OMG! Demis I've been waiting since your FB post on this. I absolutely love this track, it's got tons of energy and positive vibes. I love this walk through, thank you so much. This may be a style I might want to try to emulate if I can.
No problem, little fact this track was created in little less than 3 hours. the main idea was down in less than an hour :)
It's absolutely awesome! Can't beat classic trance. One of the very best things about this dumbass planet is trance, classic trance especially. Very well done this track mate. Is this only on Apple music?
I don't use Apple music.
You're tutorials are awesome as well by the way, learnt a lot.
I've just got back into making music, got myself a Maschine MK3 and Studio One. Only making techno at the minute as trance for me is harder to make but I love making techno anyway but I've been binge watching your videos. You know your stuff Demis.
you had me at dumbass planet 🤣
I love how this tune is #1 on your Spotify profile. Thanks for the content and tutorials. It's really inspiring for me as a beginning producer.
My kind of trance! Thanks for this tutorial, this will help me out since I always have difficulty making the sounds much clearer.
That’s really good to hear. If you can improve your sound or understand that’s my job done 🙂
Love that lead melody man!
Thanks Jack, it was one of the melodies that just strung itself together. More like discovering than creating.
Nice tutorial, very inspiring
Cheers Christian, thanks for the support.
Very nice.. Do you think 909 drums would have polished it off? Drums sound modern but music has that classic sound. Love it tho x
Holy... this is exactly the sort of track I want to write! Thank you so much for this video!
the problem is in new trance the kick and the whole track souds to soft in classic trance the kick is not soft sounding it is mush rufer punchier sounding. This sounds like 2005 +
Just started out and now I feel so overwhelmed Hahaha
It’s easy to be overwhelmed just take things in steps. Starting by understanding kick and bass is the best starting point. 👍🏻🎛
Can we still make Classic Trance in 2020 ? if yes should we be using Diva & Serum for leads ? i an Access Virus Ti2 sounds still worth it ? Flux Alchemy v3 still good for layering sounds ?
This is a seriously great tutorial, have picked up a lot from it. The tune is awesome too with a really clean, crisp sound. Nice work dude!!
Thanks Chris. Been working really hard on my sound recently. 😎💪🏽
Absolute choon mate 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Just added it to my Apple Music library. Gonna be rinsing this over the next few days!
Glad to hear, enjoy the track 🎛😎
realy good sensation of trance music ✔😎 keep up the good work mate 😉
I really enjoyed this track and it’s amazing 😉 it very powerful and when I start listening to the tracks you create, I imagine Armin Van burn and his style
The real magic is how well your mix down is and the keys and I’m adding side compression using LFO 11 and the side kick a certainly gives more punch 🤛 to the track
Actually it is amazing track! When you mentioned on the title "Classic Trance" the first song that came to my mind was "Ode to 99" by Georgia
Thankyou for the kind comment, I see you idea with Ode to 99 :)
You know it's nice to finally see a classic trance tutorial, Because I have not seen one yet haha, but it's not just that I also make classic trance because I just find it better in my a opinion.
Classic for a reason isn’t it 😎 because it’s better and trance was built upon it. Used to be convey more emotion.
I like this a lot, I am trying to re-create the classic trance feel in Ableton, but considering it is my most favourite genre I find it really hard to produce. Just nailed the arp after years of trying to get it right. It is all about the layering isn't it? Look forward to hearing/seeing more of your walkthroughs!!
Very nice song! I've tried several times at making classic trance and I've never been able to make anything sound nice, especially concerning sound selection. This video helped! Thanks so much
Great to hear Joshua 👍🏼😎 keep up the awesome work
@@demishellen Thank Youuu ♥
Absolute belter mate!
Thanks Chris it just worked and everything fell into place. Pretty happy with it compare to other tracks which I always seem forced to create. 😎
Love 💕 the content . Been binging on your channel . Do you think you could do a video on Mauro picotto lizard . There is literally no videos/info on his synth sounds from that era ? I was a huge fan and lizard was one of those milestone tracks from that era . I remember the first time I listened to it in local record shop on my weekly vinyl buying . Mind blown 🤯. Maybe you could help to recreate it ?
Interesting suggestion. 👍🏻lizard is a era defining track.
Sir your are brilliant, simple awesome
Ah, the music of labels like FSOE, Pure Trance NEON & Ava White
But RIP FSOE Fables, you were my favourite label
Great demo Demis. I like the hard attack on the pad sound. Sounds more like a lead. I always thought pads were meant to have soft attacks. I will try out this in my new tracks. Why don't you get your tracks signed to labels. You're an expert at this plus you have a large following
Hi Demis well amazing track is it possible to do a tutorial on how to make a smooth snare drum build ? Thank you.
Enjoying your videos mate. This is a cool one, loving the vibe
Awesome, glad to hear your enjoying the videos.
Great Track, Demis. Right up my alley. And on top a great lesson for us noobs :) . Already looking forward for next vid. Keep it up.
I am pretty overwhelmed with the positive responses on this. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and keep being awesome. 😎💪🏽
Great idea !!!! like old school. but for a track it's too repetitive. needs more variations and melodies
Trance music is built on a repetitive nature in order to put the listener into a trance by focusing on the rhythm first, it's only then when the listener is focused on the rhythm you then start adding variations, chord progressions and melodies to the track to then add movement and harmony.
Great walkthrough 👍👍👍
my god you're great
I appreciate the kind words, hope you can take away some ideas for your own work.
0:58.Darude-Sandstorm,hahaha.Seriously speaking thanks for next tutorial.
Where do you source movie vocal royalty free samples from?I always want to put sometning from cosmos or gruesome.
thanks ...
this is wicked!
Thank you Adam, track has just released too, Euphoria :)
@@demishellen I'll have to download all your tutorials and get crackin! Lol awesome work mate
Really nice track! I would have liked to know what instruments you've used for the pads too.
Pads used Hive 2. I amended a preset I have already made so it fit with the style of this track.
Similar sound to that of Organ Donors - In Power, early noughties?
Thankyou Alexander love a bit or Organ Donors.
Good stuff👍
Demis would you like to show the midi on that 2000 synth? Or make a new in another tutorial?
I can show you just need some time in the studio to record this video.
@@demishellen And how you made that synth patch as well please
Wow very good
😎
I know right, thanks for the heads up dude :)
What is the name of intro song
Cool
Where do you upload your tracks exactly? Soundcloud/Spotify/Beatport? I found something uploaded only 5 years ago.
I was looking for one of your tracks ... where the catchphrases were "More energy More Power" but i cant find it anywhere...
They will be on my website soon however you can get my tracks on all download stores and streaming services. This is currently not released but I aim for availability in 2 weeks or so.
And the psytrance track was corrupted but I plan rebuild this very soon and release.
The answer is "You should"
Please make the same guide for fl studio:)
What kind of sound card do you use?
How do u mix ur tracks, my mixes sound harsh, but urs sound loud but not harsh at the same time.
Mixing in context all the time. Using tone and timbre is a key for me to get a great fit for all the sounds. Rolling off the highs in synths also help a huge amount. Not too much though 😎🙂
Sounds like keygen installer music
