 Uplifting trance relies heavily
on tactful composition, so well
spend a bit of time on it.
Part 1 consists of two
videos:video 2andvideo 5 (the
rst video is an overview)
In the rst video, youll learn
how to craft a memorable
chord-based melody and write
a supporting melodyaroundit.
In the second video, youll learn
how to piece together a calming
yet tension-building breakdown
with a piano as the core
instrument.
Key things youll learn:
Key things youll learn:
Idea generation workflow
Most people work slowly and
ineectively when writing a new
song. Theres a better way to do it.
Ill show you how.
Hacking composition
Music theory helps, but you dont
need to know it to put together a
great melody. Ill show you the
simple approach.
Effective velocity
programming
No one wants to hear a static,
lifeless piano piece. Especially in an
uplifting trance breakdown. Youll
learn how to use note-by-note
velocity to draw the listener in and
build tension.
Sure, you can use presets, but
wheres the fun in that? And
 Professional processing
Sound design may start with your
synth, but it doesnt end with it.
Youll learn how to properly
process a sound with audio eects.
Layering
Layering doesnt have to be
dicult. Ill show you how to do it
well by putting together a textbook
multi-layered trance bassline.
The mix mindset
Ill teach you how to pay close
attention to how youre designing
and layering sounds in preparation
for mixing. A good mix starts with
good sound design.
Structuring a track requires
more work than simply plotting
a few audio and midi clips in
random spots.
Consisting of 4 videos, part 3 is
what if you cant nd the sound
youre looking for?
Designing sounds for uplifting
trance may be easier than
designing sounds for other
genres like drum n bass, but
that doesnt mean we cant get
creative with it.
In part 2, youll discover how to
use Serum to create several
layers of bass sounds (including
an acid line), plucks, and leads.
In the rst video well focus on
the bassline, using 5 dierent
layers.
In the second video, well spend
time working on the chorus,
designing and layering sounds
for the chord-based melody.
Key things youll learn:
Energy control
How can you use your
arrangement to take the listener on
 long. But youll be happy you
went through it.
In the rst video well focus on
the high-energy, bass-driven
intro, adding in an extra sound
and optimizing the
arrangement for maximum
energy.
The second video is brief. Well
ll out the full arrangement,
leaving room for our
build-ups
which youll learn how to
create in the third video.
Theres an art to creating good
build-ups. Youll want to know
what it is.
The nal video in part 3 will
focus on transitions (with a
quick section on creating fancy
glitch transitions).
Key things youll learn:
The #1 thing you should focus
a journey? Learn how to structure
your track in a way that oers
contrast and asks for an emotional
response.
How to keep your track
interesting
When youre making a 6-7 minute
long track, its easy to bore the
listener. Youll learn how to keep
the listener interested through
various arrangement tactics.
Fluidity & flow
Learn how to make a track ow
well through automation and the
removal and addition of sounds.
Theres nothing worse than
putting hours of work into a
track only to have it end up as a
muddy wreck.
on when mixing
Most people waste time with fancy
plugins and obscure techniques.
You dont need to do that.
Why preparation leads to a
great mix
Why is it a good idea to color and
name tracks properly? Why group
and submix tracks? Dont ignore
preparation.
How to use visual helpers
Your ears should be the nal judge,
but tools like meters and spectrum
analyzers do help. Well use them
during the mixdown.
In part 4, well prepare our track
for mixdown, mix it, and then
perform a brief master. Ill also
share my philosophy on mixing
which will save you time during
future projects.
In the rst video, youll learn
how to prepare your project for
mixdown. A lack of preparation
leads to atime-consuming
mixdown and often results in a
lower-quality mix.
In the second video, well
perform the mixdown, focusing
heavily on the fader balance.

Finally, youll learn how to do a

quick master on your track. This
isnt professional-grade
mastering, but it does the job.

From the beginning, Sam (EDMProd)

has been a lifesaver for my journey
making electronic music. The ability to
have numerous learning tools available
such as his book, site posts, podcasts
or the Start To Finish videos hes
produced, have all been extremely
benecial, especially to somebody who
is new to producing music. Unlike
many avenues out there, he has a gift
of actually teaching vs. simply talking
about a topic, which is extremely
helpful.

 Im Sam, the founder of EDMProd, a project I
started after several years of producing
electronic music. I have a passion for seeing
people experience the same joy I and others
have experienced through creating music, and
that manifests itself in blog posts, books,
videos, podcast episodes, and guidesjust like
this one.

As for the generic non-music-related stu I

live in the windiest city in the world (its true),
enjoy a good beer, and actually thats about
it.
