This is not a valid question. Of course finish this track. It was so much fun to see you go wild. Love this style of music. Go crazy Will. Hell yeah and amen brother ❤ 🎉
Thanks so much for the shout out Will! If anyone watching is on the fence about whether or not to sign up for the EDM Tips Accelerator programme, DO IT. It has taught me more in 8 months than I had learnt in 8 years! P.S. Will didn't ask me to write this 🤣

One of your finest tutorial's. It makes me realise I spend far to much time on 3rd party vst's when abletons own are more than capable. I also love the band pass/lfo trick.itsbtge sound of a generation!!
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel :) In some cases Ableton stock plugins can get you there with the same or less amount of effort!
Everytime I watch these videos, I take away something I didn't know before. So massive thanks and definitely love the editing style and your presentation. Thank you for these
Yeah Will, I went through some phases here 😅 ... first I've cursed; for you just did wizardry and implied in the meantime its so simple and evident (I've been struggling with these for years now). Then I went into awe, how well and easy you explain, and now I've re-watched it 20 times, like frame-by-frame just to understand everything 100% ... AMAZING job, cheers
Oh man! Very nice! Love this track, you have to finish it for sure (and post it ^^) ! It's always impressive to see how you are comfortable with sound design and techniques to make effects and arrangement quickly! Hell yeah! 🔥
If that is the most fun have had in a long time then you need to do some more trance tutorials ha ha. In the style of John O'Callaghan, Guiseppe Ottaviani and David Forbes for example please?? Really got back into trance!!
Great suggestions! I’d like to cover several genres as I enjoy different genres of music but trance is one of my favourites so I am sure you’ll see more tutorials of me covering other trance artists 😎
I need to really learn all this now. I used to Dj back in the mid/late 90s/early 2000s then I enrolled in a music course, specifically dance music, but my life took a bad turn and then trance kind of died out...well to me anyway and I left that world behind. Roll on a decade later and I came bk to Dj the big room dirty dutch stuff and man oh man everything had changed and not for the better, too many phones in your face and the music just never touched the soul, so I looked into creating music again around 2013/14 but I had to finish my University course and I left it in the rear view mirror...AGAIN! Roll on to the last few years creating apps and simple background music for my apps and I use the plug ins on the DAWs like most, but still have LOADS to learn, I pretty much read up on basic music theory and learned my chords and so on, but as for creating something I would love personally, it would be trance music, I understand the older way you need all the old tech, but I can see there are ways to create something decent with the similar techniques but in a DAW, it's fascinating how everything has been sort of "transported" no pun intended into the DAWs to try and recreate times of the past sounds, although it will never be 100% accurate, especially recording for Vinyl etc, but it's very close and sounds pretty good. I hope I can pick up lots from this video and others, I have Cakewalk and Waveform 12 on my computer and almost installed Ableton, but chose Waveform instead as my 2nd DAW. I might install Ableton as well just to see if I get a better "feel" from it and so I can follow along better, I still don't know what most of Cakewalk/Waveform does and where everything is, as I spend most of my time using my main app creation programs like Unity, Unreal Engine, Blender, GIMP, Inkscape, Audacity and Cakewalk now and again, and 10 MILLION Books to read lol. I used to love (and still do) Vincent De Moor, Airwave, Airscape (Svenson & Gielen), PUSH/M.I.K.E., Signum, Mauro Picotto, Marco V, Dumonde, Nuw Idol, Moonman (Ferry Corsten), Cosmic Gate, Cor Fijneman, Flulicht, Armin Van Buuren, Yves Deruyter, Sven Vath, Tiesto etc, so many great trance producers and PVD as well is up there, along with Oakenfold etc., especially for promoting it to the masses in the UK, Judge Jules in the late 90s too, the list goes on and on. 1997 - 2002 was great and 1999/2000 was very special indeed, magical in fact in the clubs, with things like using the purple lighting/strobes a lot, it had a an effect on you as well the type of lighting design and club design overall that went with the tone and feel of the uplifting music, that took you on a journey and brought you higher than ever before, it was a great crescendo to a fantastic decade of dance music brining in 2000, something I will never forget and hasn't been topped since! Thanks for the tutorials, keep up the great music creation, sharing secrets of how all this is done is great and a fantastic way to build your channel over time...All the best.👍
I llllllove that old-fashioned PvD sound, empty, airy, bass line and rhythm-based, and so hypnotic! (but iconic PvD is little bit less cheesy than that =)
Absolutely STUNNING! Thank you so much for always going in depth and being all-levels friendly, I've said it before but seriously it differentiates you from other youtube producers! Thank you so much!!
Man you're a freakin genius when it comes to producing, what a banger mate! Also i think we easily made it to feelsville with this project :D Definately should finish this!
I don't know what kind of funny drink you had before hitting record, but damn I was laughing so hard for so much of this tutorial! This has to be your best one yet. Amen Brother 🙏
This is one of the best tutorials that i've watched(on anything lol). It made it so easy to get started from zero and make something I'm a little proud of. tyty
FINISH IT! :) Awesome jam, awesome tutorial. I'm a newbie who recently found your channel and I'm really appreciating your content. Inspired to try making my own trance track now, after seeing how possible it is to get good sound without any special plugins or other magic tricks. Seeing this track fully done would be really helpful!
It's great the way it is! Most importantly it's just like you to be happy with the result! Bless your Taxi, heck yeah) And finally, a special thanks, I learned how to widen the bars without merging all the lanes and drag it etc. Ctrl+I geez, thanks Will! ) Please keep up, you are charging unreal.
Thank you so much for this video!! I'd resolved to learn to make dance music this year, and spent the first half of the year just learning stuff, but getting cold feet when it came to just grinding out a full song. So today I decided to just follow this video - I downloaded the project file and referred to it when I couldn't follow a detail in the video, but built my own ALS up from total scratch. Took me seven hours to watch one 48-minute video, hah! Decided to be a little creative by replacing the vocals with a string arrangement (native stradivari violin & cello) and, well, not really sure it totally works, but it was fun nonetheless!
Will, great video again and just some suggestions for other “How to make…”: 1) Hands Up (like Cascada and Pulsedriver) 2) Jumpstyle (like Jeckyll & Hyde - Freefall) 3) (Dutch) happy hardcore (like Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo or DJ Paul Elstak) 4) Something in the style of Scooter
Yea!!! This takes me back to Love Parade 96 days and onward. Love this music!! Nice to have another template to refer to on some "fly away and reach for the lasers" type music. I really look forward to working with you in the near future.
It's really PvD's week. First an upload from him at Lumi, then this and his new release of Venture X. I'm going to work on this in the weekend! Looking forward to it 😀 and thanks as always Will for your inspiring videos! 😌🙏🏼
Nice Video... great work right here. 👍 PvD and ATB are the DJ's that got me starting my own stuff back in 1998. I'm nowhere near a pro...but it brings back memories. I'm over 50 and i was there when Electronic Music really started. Loved everthing new in the 80's...even all the funky and soul stuff got a fresh sound in the 80's. I was a Teenager in the 80's. Best time EVER. Who wasn't there can't really feel it. 😜 At the same time i was a metal head and loved all between ACDC and Metallica. I had long hair in the 90's and was playing a bit guitar in some Bands. But i was still interested in all Electronic Music that came out in the 90's. Im not so much a fan of the Eurodance stuff...only stuff like Snap did. Yeah...and then Artists like PvD or ATB came in public. Trance got mainstream then. That was the time when i bought my first plastic Keyboard by YAMAHA. It was the DJX...it was crap but fun to start with. A year later i got the YAMAHA CS6X...which is still under my bed...its not working anymore. I guess it got too damp at one time. No matter...i'll keep it anyway. It's part of my musically history. Now a analog Synthesizer is not needed anymore. As for PvD...im soooooo happy that he is back on his feet and running shows again. The horror fall through the stage was the biggest shock ever for me. He is such a nice guy...so humble...👍 Thank God !!! Greetings from Germany...❤☮☯❤☮☯❤☮☯
i would love to be able to recreate the sound of trance from late 2000s thru early 2010s. (e.g. O'Callaghan and Kearney's Exactly or Sophie Sugar's Redemption to give two examples). Most of my favourite tracks are from that era.
Please can you just for fun recreate a Dutch hardcore track in the 90s style like a dwarf records , baby boom records , I'd love to see what you would come up with I know its dead but I'd love to know how it's done we can dream can't we haha keep up the great work ❤️
Hey Will! Your videos are soooo good, you teach me so much, I've waited so long for videos, like yours. I'm glad I've find your channel. You're a very talented, nice and funny producer, who does not want the money of your viewers, it's very kind. I'd really like some tutorials making music like Naden (Binary Days, Ventosus), Evol Intent (Middle of the Night), Koan (When the Silence Is Speaking album), Emancipator (Eve) or Carbon Based Lifeforms (World of Sleepers album). Thank you for your work! Greetings from Hungary, Ben
AWESOME! Such a great video, entertaining and informative. Thank you so much for all your fantastic videos. Also: At 21:52 "There's probably a better way...(to turn 4 bars into 8)" In Ableton 11 there is: select all the notes in the 4 bars in MIDI, then look for the equivalent of a "warp marker" and just drag it to the right! All the notes will adjust proportionally as you stretch it from 4 to 8 bars!
Love this Will - another great vid🙏🙏🙏🙏. . I’d love you to make a daft punk style track by adding your own bass , synths , pads and of course a funky guitar. Thanks as always for the helpful guides 🙏. Micky , one love !
@@EDMTips it was brilliant. That is my goal this year to get ableton and have a go at myself. Being a part time dj, I always knew there was a lot happening in a trance track. But, to see you put one together from scratch was like, wow!! 👍👍
