Allan Morrow - EMBRACE

Check out the Classic Trance Series here - https://allanmorrowstudios.com/trance-music-category/classic-trance/ Welcome to the third episode of the “How To Make A Classic Trance Track” series, where I will be creating a track in the style of a Classic Trance track without the use of hardware! In this episode, ill be creating the Classic Trance style melody and breakdown for the track from scratch! First, I will make an inspiring Trance leads sound from scratch so you can see the sound design of how a classic style Trance lead is created. Then I will create all the musical elements for the breakdown, such as the melody, progression, pads and bass effect. After this, I will start to map out the elements and refine the sound through careful sound design and automation to help build the breakdown and tension. I will then take some time mixing down the break to make sure it all sits nicely in the mix, explaining everything I am doing and why along the way.
