producing TRANCE music program

[tommy-boi]

what are some of the professional ones?

I've used Reason 2.5, it was pretty good

I also got a midi keyboard that hooks up to the computer
( just doesn't know how to play piano :102: )


what are some other ones?


thanks

Cubase SX with Synth and sampler VSTi's and lots of good samples should do the trick

if u want a really good synth, try Vangaurd, quality trance synth :)

[Code]

Reaktor, Absynth, and Reason. For hardware:Triton Extreme, ION, Access Virus. I went for the Motif ES, but the Triton has nice dance/trance sounds. ES is better for Breaks and House, IMO.

I second Cubase SX and a load of samples, or if you have the money for outboard gear- Protools(it will come with the Mbox and up)

i havent actauly used it, but ive been told Goldwave is real easy to use... dont know if any better than those mentioned though....

i guess i should check into some of these and get an idea :P

the Novation KS-Rack is another good hardware synth, i think i like it more than my Virus C :-)

Wow, that's a bold statment. I'm not a big fan of The K stations. I think it sounds way too didgital for a anolouge modelling synth. Some interesting sounds can be made with it though.

KS-Rack is like a completed version of the K-Station with double the voices, more filter types and more waveforms etc...

Sure the virus sounds more analog but analog is not always what im looking for. I find the KS-Rack has more responsive filters, more intuitive interface, and bolder FX, a much cleaner sound.

But the virus sounds a lot warmer and crunchier more badass

i needed both those sort of sounds so i got both.
these's no such thing as a be all and end all synth.

what the 'best synth' depends on the style you write in. and your style will always be changing and so will your requirements.

on a side , unrelated note: Multitimbrality is cool too but one midi cable can only handle so much data,
i woulnt have more than 3 main synths going, using CC very sparingly, maybe more only if its simple stuff.

Hey man, it's going pretty well. Babytraits set me up for Protools classes, so I've been doing alot more audio work lately. I gotta have you up to the place to make some beats. I gotta nice little Breaks track that's almost to the vocals stage- you gotta check it out. I'll give ya a call soon.

Fruityloops does the trick for me.

Eug: btw, I recently came across your classic "reason this" pic.
