It will be great if you could continue what you started here, with the lead, and build a full track from it. And go through all the stages of production, mixing, mastering. As a side note, the Macro tips at the end are gold.
As a orchestral composer i started with trance music and found this here. Thanks a lot for these videos. I have a track in work which needs some cool lead riffs. Watched your video about trance melody in 10 minutes and this inspired me. ☝🏻🎶
Just bought Serum to improve my own trance music, since I find it lacking in quality. Then I found your channel when looking for Serum tutorials. You quickly became my favorite Trance tutorial UA-camr. Thank you so much for helping people create awesome synth sounds and trance music. I really appreciate your work. :)
I have spent 4 years learning drum and bass my first love was always trance but I was scared because In my eyes it was so much more technical layer on layer eq making big sounds and not flat but you really have made it seem so simple u don’t understand thank you bro and it helps your pro too …haha you know all the tips and tricks ❤️
this is one of the best layering tutorials I have ever seen. I know how to do it, but thought I'd watch this since it came up, and I wasn't let down at all.
Im so glad i found this im going to get back into producing after 10/ 12 years away. But take it more seriously and have more fun. These videos are exactly what i need to help . Thank you So so much!! 💥💥
Some time ago I spent a lot of time to rework my prehistoric knowledge from 2002-2011 after 9 year of break before pandemic time :-) I missed then such a marvelous material as this one ;- ) Now, I will improve it once again, and once again with huge pleasure :-) :-) :-) Thank you Superman :-)
Thanks to readyformasterclass and @ReOrder, I’m getting my first track signed this week! But this video was right on time! My stacks were suffering, and seeing how to carve all the sounds into sitting right really helped me out!
You are amazing and explain well! You taught me new things in one video after a lot of videos I've seen and no one taught it. That's why I bought your course
Love this - totally forgot about grouping in the channel to have multiple copies of my synth rather than separate channels in the mixer then grouped as a bus! Gonna do this from now on so I have just one macro-filter to adjust instead of like 4 - 7 different ones.
I just recently stumbled upon your channel and I must say your tutorials are fantastic! You give great instructions and there's always attention to detail. I'm already implementing a lot of your tips and tricks in my tracks :)
Hey, ReOrder. Thanks for the fantastic tutorials. If I may suggest a topic for one, I would gladly hear about terminology and specifics of a trance music. In particular what I'd like to hear are properties of trance like tempo, key, the construction of a track (e.g. kick on-beat, hihat off-beat, length of a phrase etc.), what is a drop, what is a breakdown, what are the arps, melody and counter-melody (and others, if there are such ones), what kind of synths play role in a trance (e.g. sub bass, mid bass, leads, pads, plucks etc. and their role), and so on. I'm hopelessly searching for such a compendium everywhere in the Internet and cannot find one :( And I'm not asking for the details on each one, but just an explanation, so that beginners like me can at least have some point of reference to search the topic further. Please consider.
Also, as Allan Morrow showed, it is sometimes best to strip out the Bass notes from the MIDI sequence so that they don't fill out or distort the synth too much and just put those bass notes on a separate layer instead on their own and just treat those separately. This will also help you out when you're trying to EQ those layers so that you have a clearer, more granular control over the frequencies. Not to mention also separate control over the filtre cutoff and resonance, amp and filtre envelopes as well as all the other parameters in the synth. Another great independent control you'll have is to be able to transpose the synths one from another up or down as you please without affecting the bass notes either.
🎉very happy about the video Ill try this never did it before;) but as we all know the Vital VST is a CPU Killer 😅😅😅 So if i layer three or four leads together it might be too much for the laptop xD i was thinking either to resample it or use Sylenth 1 instead wich is more CPU friendly ;) Thanks a lot for the tips my friend will let you know how it came out peace&Love Keep the good trance going Becouse its not many of it now days 😊
Hi do you think you can do a tutorial on how to make a hard driving kick like the one from roman messer - blossom. I assume its some boosted mids with distortion on a normal kick but I cant get it right :)
I was wondering, when your layering leads, do you usually always have a lead layer that is an active higher in the stack? without that higher layer i find the leads lack energy,
Amazing sounding my Friend and thank you!! But for me, that sound in your video "Pro Melody in 5 Minutes or less" is God like, anyway you could show that one?
Or another 18min video about that sound and process like this video. Know i ask a lot of you but it is highly appreciated what you are doing, thanks for all of it!
Hi, thanks a lot for your videos! where can i get all your sounds you used here in this video (vital synthie) and more? thanks for your answer in advance.
So i see you dont take out the bottom end frequencies from each lead and do it all together at the end of the bus? I have been cutting out the lows of each one? Does that matter? Love your preset banks man!
Yeah makes sense! I normally cut my leads around 100-110hz depending when it’s with everything else but again dependent what I’m looking to achieve but I’ll remember about that in the break in future haha! Loving this channel, needed to touch up on a few things 🙌
The macro tip was really neat. PS: I saw you at ASOT. Enjoyed the show! But why did ASOT place all the uplifting artists in the area with worst acoustics?
Legend! When I grow up (I am 45) I want to make music that sounds like yours! Question: Did you release this track? I (am almost certain) heard it at Luminosity 2024..?
there are a great free altanatice to the maag eq4 called sky blue eq4 by Kiriki-liszt i get really close results to the payed veriasion you use by setting the knops to the same settings as in this video
I wish you and the former trance producers would teach producers how to make the warm sounds of the 90's and early 2000's like with the proper reverb. The lead sounds quite similar to a track by Darude/JS16 - Tear Apart - it's a shame that the scene has forgotten how to make a good sounding track in the current moment rather they just make stuff that's currently a fad sound/style. But producers these are either creating watered down edm clones that sound like electro house or they are too chaotic with the uplifting stuff.
I actually don't agree with the approach of boosting to try to find the 'ugly frequencies' because when you're boosting the EQ to the full you'll end up with like 80 EQ bands that are all cutting down, as when you boost EQ bands like that you'll inevitably think that those frequencies sound bad, but that's just because you boosted the crap out of them. Instead, a better approach to this mixing stage is to try and do the opposite: cut away a specific frequency band and see if the sound improves. If instead it sounds lifeless/empty, you know that that's not a band to cut out and you should leave it as it is, or if it sounds good then you could cut it a bit. But always don't just pull out the EQ for absolutely everything, as with all other mixing effects, mixing decisions must have a purpose. Like in your case it's all about balancing the individual layers so that each have their own space in the stack and sound balanced. But just saying to other people who might not know much about mixing in general, if a layer sounds fine as it is, don't just add an EQ and start messing with it. If a layer sounds good as it is just leave it as it is.
Overall nice tutorial … but seriously? You but almost everything in the maag up? In the end its almost the same as boosting the volume and cut the lows even further. That’s overall too much unneeded EQing in my opinion. Also pushing the highs this much leaves no room for the mastering stage.
in 2003 there was no layering and epic tracks were created that are legendary to this day. For example, Ron Van Den Beuken's work. Now technology advances beyond the limits of human imagination when it comes to the production of electronic music, and yet there are a multitude of releases using the same colors or musical notation. Creativity is lost somewhere, with an emphasis on the desire to make it on the EDM scene at all costs.

So happy to read this. Welcome to the family;)
Followed the process today- quality advice and applied to pads also really impressed with the results
my new youtuber, no BS! REAL NO CLICK BAIT.
Wow! Thanks mate! Really trying to get people known how’s really made and simple;)
I have spent 4 years learning drum and bass my first love was always trance but I was scared because In my eyes it was so much more technical layer on layer eq making big sounds and not flat but you really have made it seem so simple u don’t understand thank you bro and it helps your pro too …haha you know all the tips and tricks ❤️
Been listening to ReOrder for so many years, great to see such an awesome video of him in action like this. amazing stuff
Most beautiful pads ever: Circa-Forever Sean Tyas remix. What a track, wish I could make pads like that.
this is one of the best layering tutorials I have ever seen. I know how to do it, but thought I'd watch this since it came up, and I wasn't let down at all.
Im so glad i found this im going to get back into producing after 10/ 12 years away. But take it more seriously and have more fun. These videos are exactly what i need to help . Thank you So so much!! 💥💥
You got this! We can do music in any age;)
Wow! Super informative video, thank you!! Keep these amazing tutorials coming!!
Some time ago I spent a lot of time to rework my prehistoric knowledge from 2002-2011 after 9 year of break before pandemic time :-) I missed then such a marvelous material as this one ;- ) Now, I will improve it once again, and once again with huge pleasure :-) :-) :-) Thank you Superman :-)
That was a brilliant micro masterclass. You have mangaged to answer an age old question about leads for me in just a few minutes. Amazing.
Great to hear!
Thanks to readyformasterclass and @ReOrder, I’m getting my first track signed this week! But this video was right on time! My stacks were suffering, and seeing how to carve all the sounds into sitting right really helped me out!
So glad it helped and congrats on signing the first track 🤘🏻
Sounds amazing, and the video is well done, great work. Absolutely recommended purchase, and the vital current is perfect for sound design 👏
You are amazing and explain well! You taught me new things in one video after a lot of videos I've seen and no one taught it. That's why I bought your course
’m so happy it helped you 🙌 Can’t wait to see what you’ll create next!
This guy is so good, I hit the like button without having see the video! 😍
This guy thanks you for your trust 🫶🏻🤣
I will buy the pack when it comes out. Love the other Vital pack. Let us know when it's out. But don't stress it.
Massive gold here ⭐
Love this - totally forgot about grouping in the channel to have multiple copies of my synth rather than separate channels in the mixer then grouped as a bus! Gonna do this from now on so I have just one macro-filter to adjust instead of like 4 - 7 different ones.
Awesome sound. Super useful. Thank you 🙏 👍👍👍
Always love these quik tip videos. Keep them up! Thanks!!
Never knew could stack leads like that in a rack ..quality 👌
The sound effects in the intro are absolutely stunning dude 😱
Even the best of us can cut a finger 🤣
Has this Vital soundbank come out yet? It sounds amazing! I can't stop listening to the sound at 2:20
Great stuff ReOrder! A bit of a different approach that I have not seen - I like it!
Thank you very much!
This is gold !
Thanks 🙏
I just recently stumbled upon your channel and I must say your tutorials are fantastic! You give great instructions and there's always attention to detail. I'm already implementing a lot of your tips and tricks in my tracks :)
Great tutorial
Thank you! Cheers!
This is great! I wasn't listening to the frequencies and notes as in depth. I was adding more layers or excessive delay to cover gaps.
This is insane, thanks a lot man! Just applied this method to my latest track and it sounds HUGE!
Great to hear! Maybe share a link when is out;)
Third video that I’ve seen from you… all are so good! Thankyou. I’m off to make a leads stack 🎉
Welcome! Make it huge! ;)
Another very helpful video with great detail. Sometimes my trance leads are lacking that "oomph" this really helps. Thank you!
Thank you for this very usefull tip! Subscribed.❤
Layering is so overpowered thx for your great tutorials i implementet so much in my psy tracne music
díky brácho za sdílení znalostí!
Always offering useful videos. Thanks mate!
My pleasure!
Been loving your videos, thanks for this one 👌🏼
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic content, thanks for sharing with us!! 🙌
More to come!
The end result give me goose bumbs 🧡🔥
beautifully explained, thanks a ton man!
Glad it helped!
This is gorgeous. Another stunning lead tutorial ❤
Yay! Thank you!
That was so helpful. Thank you mate🙏
happy I could help
I make psytrance but it's a great inspiration of how to create uplifting leads, which I could modify for some psytrance as well
Thanks so much mate. I have been producing on and off for a fair few years and always let down by my leads. Thanks so so much
Glad to help!
Reorder gave me the big opportunity to launch my tracks under his label, thx for you share this videos... att: Another World.
Best tutorials out there 👌
Glad you think so!
Awesome advice, thanks! It certainly helped me. :)
this has been really helpful to me, I was able to do something similar in Cubase...
Thanks for this video.
Isn't there a pretty big potential for phase issues when stacking up like this?
Hey, ReOrder. Thanks for the fantastic tutorials. If I may suggest a topic for one, I would gladly hear about terminology and specifics of a trance music. In particular what I'd like to hear are properties of trance like tempo, key, the construction of a track (e.g. kick on-beat, hihat off-beat, length of a phrase etc.), what is a drop, what is a breakdown, what are the arps, melody and counter-melody (and others, if there are such ones), what kind of synths play role in a trance (e.g. sub bass, mid bass, leads, pads, plucks etc. and their role), and so on. I'm hopelessly searching for such a compendium everywhere in the Internet and cannot find one :( And I'm not asking for the details on each one, but just an explanation, so that beginners like me can at least have some point of reference to search the topic further. Please consider.
Love the stacking in the rack though, that is an amazing workflow improvement whilst still being able to work on separate channels :)
Absolutely!
Well done, thank you :-)
Podoba mi się.
Also, as Allan Morrow showed, it is sometimes best to strip out the Bass notes from the MIDI sequence so that they don't fill out or distort the synth too much and just put those bass notes on a separate layer instead on their own and just treat those separately.

THIS IS AMAZING!!! Thank you
Great one
What is the final free EQ you use the maag but couldn't find the free one you mentioned. Many thanks and great videos
Thumbs Up!
i don´t know if is right or wrong but i always layer a pluck one octave lower with a supersaw

Woooooh🤩
this is ARMIN style. cool awsome. i am looking for Boris Brejcha Minimal Techno/Trance Masterclass. Who is teaching?
With the deep base sound.
👍
Is there actually a reason why it is not for cubase?
I dont have it? 🥲
💯👍👏

"Today your life is about to change" 🤣
🙏🙏🙏🙏🤝🤝
Please change my life 😂😂
Yes sir!
@@reorderdj your music already does this ❤️🙌🏻
I love how he doesnt show us how to actualy make those lead synths
I have other videos for that :)

Now technology advances beyond the limits of human imagination when it comes to the production of electronic music, and yet there are a multitude of releases using the same colors or musical notation.

Back than we also used HW synths and effects that did not really need any layering as they sounded full as F 🫶🏻💪🏻
he used Roland JP8000
Simple, useful , gold. Thank you man.
Glad it helped
