I try to make Hard Trance now as it f*cking rules!, and im learning new things and getting better all the time. My tracks at the moment are pretty basic, I mostly only use the basic foundations to a track :- hardkicks, hardbass, bunch of hi hats, snare fills, masif melodies, melo pads and fx.So listen to my tracks, see what you think and leave me a comment, cheers :D www.soundclick.com/djeduk - my other band page - go there to listen to all my other tracks, new tracks get added all the time :DMUSIK IS LIFE!!!!!..HTX..!!------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------**H.A.R.D T.R.A.N.C.E**------------------Hard Trance originated in Germany in the early to mid-90's and is one of the earliest forms of trance. It was one of the most common forms of Trance throughout the decade, characterized by strong kicks, with a very dry and heavy sound. Besides Techno, it is one of the most commonly stereotyped forms of electronic dance music and is regarded with disdain among popular culture. Now it is much more rare compared to other forms of Trance and House music, but still has a close fanbase in Japan, Germany, and other parts of Europe.- - - Characteristics - - - The Hard Trance sound varies from classic trance with its emphasis on harder, often acid sounds. The beat is very strong, and the lead synths or pads are more simplistic, yet still retain their melodic, "trance-like" nature. The "hoover" sound, so named, due to its "vacuum-like" drone, made famous by Human Resource in the early techno classic "Dominator" is used infrequently as of late, giving way to harsher lead melodies through synths or pads. Recently, a difference in production styles between the two stables of hard trance has developed, splitting the genre into what is commonly known as European hard trance, which can contain darker elements, and shares common production techniques with hardstyle such as the familiar off beat bassline and snappy snarerolls, which sets its roots in trance's heyday, with wide, epic synths and rolling, often "bubbling" basslines.
