After his interview with Chris, Swedish native and uplifting trance star Bjorn Akesson is back on Sonic Academy, this time with a monster course - ‘How To Make Uplifting Trance’. Bjorn shows from the first kick to the last effect, how to produce an uplifting 138 monster in this 7 hour course in Cubase 8. He starts by looking at how to write a main theme, builds the drums and baselines, then moves to some truly great lead layering tricks and tips and finishes off adding in serious effects and finally mixing.
Learn from one of the hottest trance producers in the world today, right here on Sonic Academy!
Maaan, when I heard Perfect Blue it sent me straight back into 2007-2008. Great times for trance music.
Perfect Blue - my favorite uplifting, thank U BJorn
trance music is sooo melody heavy!
Your mom is heavy..
gottem
Very awesome! Thank you for this tutorial. I'm just starting out, and this is a big help.
What a great man ! Lovely melodies !
Great melody!
I see the similarities in playing guitar chords when you augment and diminish notes with finger alterations and string variation. This seems it could be written on guitar or an actual keyboard with practice. Cheers for that. It's inspired me to play with darker more dissonant chord structures.
Hi, correct me if I'm wrong but you are writing chords, not a melody? a melody is a single line of notes, chord progressions are what you have done in this video along with bassnotes. Great video either way.
yes, that's a chorded riff, but the top line of that can be the melody, usually is.
Both can be used, im not only using pluck sounds as chord stabs, but darker pad sounds as bit longer chord stabs with bit of noise & stereo widening, & on top of that i layer a random but in key sounding pluck arp with delay on my latest track, and together it sound great in the bridge transition part of the song or perhaps anywhere it fits! Its all about experimentation, & sometimes happy accidents! 👍
JUST AWSOME
good melodie Sonic Academy good pluck one big hug
Thank you very much for these lovely videos....I love them ^_^ :P
Great!
Like it great tip
amazing tutorial bro!
On the last bar, try upping the bass notes to an E#, right below the F# playing on the 7th bar. I think it will make it feel more romantic like perfect blue.
Count Fleet I think he knows what he's doing lol
I don't think there is an E#
@@marzzmello1823 Maybe there is - I just call it an F. Perhaps I am in the stoneage.
Nice bro
lol I love how when he's listening to the second track he's just like -skip to --4:20- yes this is the part I want everoyone to hear
Someone please tell me whats the title of this melody that bjorn make :')
What’s the daw
Isn't easier to ,play it first on a actual piano ,so you would know exactly what notes you want there to be placed ? I playing the piano and now i am interesting to electronic music because daws now days are evolved to awesomeness. I will take the curses .
sure, there's no right and wrong way to do it
Drongorius You'll have a pain quantisizing the notes as the daws do not record your midi notes at the exact time that you play. It bother the heck out of me because I play the notes and not draw them out.
You increase the record quantize settings to say 1/16 or 1/32 that way it will record what you play...if you have record quantize set to low or high depending how you view it...say 1/4 or 1/8 yeah sure it will move your 1/16 notes to the nearest 1/8. I use Logic and works fine
Playing piano isn't really important, but an understanding of scales, harmony and the various modes will help rather than just moving midi notes about until something sounds good. But all these guys have their methods to their madness, eg moving common notes of 2 chords so they line up...creative habits
You should be interested in writing first.
Where are the other videos anyway???
+DJ V.a.r. Link is in the description - This is a sample video from the full course here - www.sonicacademy.com/Training+Videos/Course+Overview/How-To-Make-Uplifting-Trance-in-Cubase-with-Bjorn-Akesson.cid7992
Sonic Academy oh I see, it's a paid course...well, too bad I don't have money to spend sorry, and I have enough knowledge to keep going in my productions and learn here and there watching others working but I wouldn't pay for a tutorial even if in this case it's from Bjorn Akesson with all the respect I have for him and all the talent he has.
+DJ V.a.r. Dude why wouldn't you? for $14 a month it's a steal. There's a massive archive of tutorials, sound packs, interviews, etc... it's literally sacrificing 1 night of eating out a month to get this info. Or you can stick to digging through half -assed tutorials on you tube.
HOllyW0uld I'm sorry but no, I already have enough knowledge to do it myself, mine was more a curiosity to see their workflow and get inspiration from it but I don't really need all that badly I'm already pretty experienced enough and already got signed on a pretty good label such as Fuzion Four Records but anyway, if a day I feel like spending some money for this I would go for a service like Allan Morrow's one that lets me even ask questions and maybe even go staying with him at his studio and discuss about things which would be way more inspiring and helpful for some little things than just a series of videos (y) but again I don't really need all this so badly I can do it myself already
lol ok
all your velocities are the same bro make some lower and it will have that sound bounce feel. great melody tho
5:50 круто
¿Whos afraid of the 138!?🤩
hey the name of the soft ware pls
Looks like the ANA synth and Cubase.
What is name of app
It's one way of doing it and a skill as much as actually playing these on a piano...deadmaus works this way...doesn't seem to actually play in much of his chord progressions...just uses a well worked system of his like here to move midi info about until it sounds ok
Its called top melody
Download version???
it is a lots of work omg so crazy ..I have so much to play but I want to play with my fingers ,,I need to learn this ,,it is all math here Thank you to shear I got FL studio I have no edia how to start so much I dont know awaa I need you here in my house to help me please
In your house? That sounds like a title your first album..😎
Who else's ears cringe when music is turned off mid way? I felt it both times when you stopped perfect blue and perfect red XD
Clicking with your mouse to make a simple melody ? Ever heard of step sequencing ? Or playing with your fingers ?
Whatever works to get that melody down is the best really!
Sonic Academy true 😜 this is just like drawing a picture .. you never know what might work ... really amazing ❤️
max braiman has much better ....
Nice but has become too generic.
