Enhance Your Sound with CreatingTrance.com

 If you're into production you gotta check this website for the latest tutorials & sound presets.

Much like compression, EQ and many other processing tools, a gate is a very simple tool to understand in theory but actually using it successfully is a different thing altogether. And like mastering the use of a compressor in the studio, it is all about finding the right balance of attack, release etc to manipulate the sounds that are being processed. To allow a sound to pass through a gate unhindered misses the point completely of using it in the first place. But there are seemingly countless ways you can use this tool to achieve some very cool results and change your sounds completely!

Trance Music: The Garden Intro !

Trance is a genre of electronic dance music that developed in the 1990s. It is characterized by a tempo of between 110 and 150 beats per minute, repeating melodic phrases, and a musical form that builds up and down throughout a track. It is a combination of many styles of electronic music such as techno, house, pop, chill-out, classical music, and film music.

Trance employs aural dynamics to a great degree: A characteristic of virtually all trance songs is the soft mid-song breakdown, beginning with and occurring after the orchestration is broken down and the rhythm tracks fade out rapidly, leaving the melody and/or atmospherics to stand alone for anywhere from seconds to a few minutes. When vocals are present in trance, they are generally sung by a female with a soaring, operatic voice ranging from mezzo-soprano to soprano, best described as "ethereal female leads floating amongst the synths".
