How To Make A Gated Trance Lead
Here’s a look at how I created the gated Trance lead in my track Surge.
In the video I break down the sound design, the effects that give it that driving pulse, and the automation I used to keep it moving — things like the gate amount, filter cutoff, and release to build tension in the breakdown and lead into the drop.
If you’re into that classic gated Trance sound, you’ll get a good idea of how it was put together and maybe pick up a few ideas for your own productions too.
