It's great to hear how useful you're all finding this tutorial. I've been working on a lot of music for 2021, but promise there will be more tutorials when I have time. You can check out all my releases on Spotify, give me a follow if you like the sound of it :) bit.ly/Daxson
Dear Daxson please can you tell what plugin - soundbank youre using for your pads in this video???? lovely sound! please advice
From a Dj who used to Dj during the big late 90s trance boom, this is great stuff. I always loved Vincent De Moors melodies, his team up with Frerry Corsten as Veracocha was epic, as was Airwave, Airscape (Svenson & Gielen) Signum, Armin Van Buuren, Tiesto, Cor Fijneman, Mauro Picotto, Marco V, Dumonde, Nuw Idol, Flutlicht, PVD and so many others that were really good, brilliant times 1997 - 2003, 99/00 was amazing, the clubs felt magical at those times.
I will be coming back to this tutorial once I am more familiar with my DAW, should have done this many moons ago, but life had other ideas, but never too late to start.
Fantastic, all the best for the future! 👍

More please.
Thank you a lot! great video!
Glad it helped!
Hey Dan, thanks for this tutorial, definitely going to try some tricks in my current projects!!!!
It could be interesting to learn more on how to enrich the track with details. The small and sometimes unnoticed elements that make a track shine among the others. Talking about fillers, particular sound, elements used in the transition from one octave to the other, and so on.
I think when you start producing you may even find a great melody, great sounds presets and a decent arrangement, but then you feel your track is not "professional" enough and misses the little details that makes an enormous difference!
Cheers, see you in the next video
Good suggestion thanks, will cover that in the future for sure :)
Daxson thanks mate!
I've heard some your stuff Daxson. Very very impressive!
Glad you're enjoying the music thanks!
Workspace is a Macbook on top of a Virus TI. It doesn't get more trance producer than that

Best Trance Tutorial out there... do you offer Zoom lessons?
Awesome! Please tell me there will be more !!
Definitely, any area you want me to cover?
Daxson how you make your uplifting trance leads! The processing, reverbs, delays etc would be mint!
Good info, and for once someone made a tutorial song i wish was a full track i could listen to.
Thanks, im going to be releasing it at some point soon :)
Thanks a lot for that! Now i know the secret from the Daxon-Style ;-) Cheers!
😄🙏🏻
throws us a pure #ColdharbourRecordings midi pack @daxson
Took me a year but I found your Video. Stella Tutorial. I'm Hooked on Neelix, trying to copy some of his style ATM! Any tip on that stuff would be sweet.
👌👌
What Spire preset are you using? Sounds awesome!!!!
Definitely understand more about the sequence and layers to get that proper trance arpeggio now! Absolutely class. One question, what soundbank is that in spire?
Mate what sample sound are you using for the main lead? Great video simple and imformative!
Hi, man your tutorial ist very amazing, you are best :) I have a question are you can whit me share presets from spire in 17.05 min ?? Thanks
Nice tutorial. Love making these kind of melodies and it’s given me a few ideas…which sound in spire are you using in this. Is it a stock sound or out of a pack?
Ahh Virus TI what a synth. I had one when they first came out. Cost me 4000 AUD dollars.
Could you tell us, where this spire Lead Preset is from? Awesome Tutorial!
very good :)
Great approach of writing melodies, thanks! Btw, did you use the ''Sean Tyas & Darren Porter Spire Essentials bank 2 from Freshly Squeezed Samples'' for the leads? Love this sound!
Yeah it’s a great bank 💯
What soundbank is the lead on 19:15 from?
Hey mate we need to know how you do that epic remixes!!
I asked on what synths you used and you said spire.
Is it possible to do this on respire?
If it isn’t, what’s the next best synth to use?
I havent checkout that yet, but most likely, most synths work in the same way :) try sylenth
@@DaxsonMusic thanks for the tip, I may get spire sometime in the future but not right now, I’ll try some synths to get at least a similar sound as yours as I liked the sound
Could you make a video about a breakdown of Above and Beyonds “ Tri State “ track? Sad there’s no sheet music for iy
Cool tutorial,will be good if you share more skills:) cheers
hey man, do you know of any good tutorials for making the synths for this kind of thing??
great tutorial man! do you always put your arps spread over 3 octaves?
Thank you. Not always, most of the time just 2, depends on what key i'm working in and how it sounds :)
What is that chord progression in roman numerals please?
What was the synth you used?
Sylenth & Spire :)
@@DaxsonMusic oh ok thanks
Were did you get the spire patch from?? It’s awesome
Which soundbank is that with the LEAD - Time for.. 17:04 ??
I was looking for a video like this for so long now, thnx! What preset do you use bro?
Will cover this in a future video
Daxson thnx man!
What is the software down load on apple
Whats the Spire preset you use?
What’s name of plugin you use it?
Nexus for the Pad, Sylenth for the first Melody, Spire for the 2nd melody
yo do you play in a particular scale or what sounds good together thanks
Usually write a melody in one scale then move it into different ones to see how it sounds, then keep tweaking.
what TRANCE/Uplifting TRANCE VSTs with presets\BANKS do I need?
Sylenth or Spire would be a good starting point. Check out freshly squeezed for some great presets. Also keep an eye on this channel, will be dropping my own preset pack once it’s complete
@@DaxsonMusic thx alot 😁
@@DaxsonMusic Another question if you don't mind.
What kind of pc specs do you have and audio card?
I was thinking to build my new PC with an AMD 3800X procesor amd 32 gb of ram, with an Creative Sound Blaster audio card to avoid bottle neck and laggy project.
Thank you.
What’s the lead you also used?
Show chain FX
still waiting for more videos lol
why make all of them same velocity?? doesnt that kill some of the human feel?
Imo this only applies to real instruments like the piano and guitar
Synths aren't meant to sound realistic, they just need to sound good
