In this tutorial, I will show you how to make trance music like James Dymond. l will show you how to make a trance bassline and percussion, how to mix, and so on. Making a trance baseline can be difficult, but in this tutorial, I'll walk you through the entire process, including mixing, layering, midi, and so on, step by step. Uplifting trance music tends to have rolling basslines and nice warm sub bass. It's all about layering and finding the right bass sounds in the first place. When layering trance bass, the various bass sounds needs to sound like one single rolling trance bassline in order to get that nice and tight rolling bass sound that you typically hear in trance music. Trance bass is one of the most difficult things to get right when you want to make trance music, so hopefully, this tutorial will help you get your trance bass to sit perfectly in your mix. In this trance music tutorial, I'm using FL Studio 20, but these techniques can be applied to all DAWs, such as Ableton, Cubase, Studio one, and so on.
In this trance bass tutorial, I'll cover everything from the midi itself, bass layering, mixing, and so on, so make sure to watch the entire video.
There are many ways to make trance basslines, and this is just one example, showing a typical James Dymond-style rolling uplifting trance bassline, which he often uses, for example in "siren's song". I've had many requests to make a video about how to make trance like Armin van Buuren and so on. I have other videos showing other more commonly used trance basslines too, like my "the three most used trance basslines" video.
After watching this tutorial you should be able to get started with a trance bass and intro. Pay extra attention to the mixing and the effects used. Noe: be careful about using too much delay on the bass mix bus though, as I did in this video. You might have to reduce the effect as you add more elements such as trance leads etc later on.
