Ableton Live – Trance Melody & Breakdown Tutorial [002]
Welcome to the second episode in the creating of a Trance Track in Ableton Live! In this episode, ill be coving the Trance Melody & Breakdown!
So you’re sat at your studio computer wanting to create an amazing breakdown that gives your listener’s goosebumps, but you open up the project then blank… Nothing comes out!
Writer’s block has hit hard, and you have no idea where to start!
Well… this tutorial is going to allow you to push through those times, and build an epic breakdown from the ground up.
For me, its always been about the order I do things in when it comes to getting stuff done in the studio, and the breakdown is no different. In this Ableton Live Trance Melody & Breakdown tutorial, I am going to show you the exact order in which I add & mix elements so that you can build that epic professional breakdown you want in just a few hours.
After the great success of the first tutorial in this series (Ableton 10 – Trance Kick & Bass – Check it out here), this is the next step I take to building the foundations of the track so that I don’t run into writer’s block later on in the project. The Melody & Breakdown is what makes Trance…Trance, So this is a pretty important part, if not THE MOST IMPORTANT part of any Trance track.
In this tutorial I’m going to be walking you through every step of the process – the writing, sound design, arrangement and mixing, and all of this will be done in real-time so you can see every tweak and change that’s made along the way, with the reasons as to why I am doing what I am doing.
Having a solid break down is essential for those big label signing, so if you find that your breakdowns are lacking emotion, aren’t big enough, don’t evolve nicely, or you simply have no idea where even to start, be sure to check this out!

- Building your progression.

I started learning to produce electronic music (techno and trance) a few months ago, so I would classify my knowledge as something between beginner and advanced level, when I purchased "Ableton Live - Trance Melody & Breakdown Tutorial [002]".
Without doubt and being really honest, this is by far the best producer course I have attended, having visited various Youtube tutorials but also paid Master classes. Of course you learn something from every course/tutorial you watch, they all help and complement each other, but most of them are not so detailed, really following each step you make in a production, from scratch. Allan explains very well, so even a beginner can follow, why and how he does everything.
For me, with no music education, practically starting at 0 half a year ago, knowing absolutely nothing about music theory, sound design, chords or key notes, was so thankful, as Allan showed how to create lead melodies. This will definitely help me when producing trance.
I purchased two tutorials, besides this one, also "Ableton Live - Trance Kick & Bass Tutorial [001]", which I have not managed yet to go through completely, due to my full-time work, but as soon as I have finished it, I will buy the next course until I have all ones that could help me on my way to produce a high quality trance track from start to finish.
These tutorials are taking me a big step forward and I love watching them and hearing Allan as he talks, as he seems to be such a genuine guy, revealing all tipps and tricks and explaining everyhing as if he talked to you personally :-)
Loved Allan's approach. He walks you through every step, explains every thought and along the way gives numerous little but unexepectedly valuable tips.
This was the first tutorial I purchased from Allan and surely more will follow.
Another excellent tutorial from Allan, I'm already putting what I've learned from this practice and it makes a huge difference!
