Struggle with your tracks flow and transitions?

Welcome to the next episode in the Progressive Trance Production Course where ill be making a Progressive Trance track from scratch! In this episode, ill be going over the Transitions & Automation!

Getting seamless transitions that suit your style of track can be quite tricky, as transitions can quickly sound either too dramatic or not create enough tension for the transition you are working on.

Having transitions that don’t sound cohesive also quickly screams amateur productions, and you don’t want that!

So where do you start? Just keep adding in effects to create bigger risers? No. This can quickly sound overdone and sound like it’s trying too hard (especially when making Progressive Trance)

In this tutorial ill be showing you how to cleverly use automation to create tension with the elements you already have in your track for nice cohesive builds and transitions.

The Transitions & Automation Tutorial covers:

• Going through every transition in a great amount of detail until they are seamless.
• Understanding when automation can help your track evolve.
• Using automation to create big builds & impacts.
• Understanding how the elements before and after your transition can make a difference to your transition.
• Clever automation tips & tricks that give your drops more impact.
• Creating snare rolls & automating velocity to create tension.
• Deciding what to automate in relation to the elements of that section and what is coming up next.
• Detailed information on filtering sounds for better transitions.
• Which parameters can be used to help create tension.
• Understanding which elements to remove in sections for different outcomes.
• A deep understanding of the thought process behind each change I make.
• + much more!

What makes AM Studios tutorials different from the rest? 

There is no set way to produce music, and you are always going to come up against issues and creative blocks. In these tutorials, there are no pre-planned sounds, and everything is done in real-time so that you get to see any problems that come up and how to overcome them.

This is a much better way to learn than watching sounds that already fit, fall right into place. We all know that is not how producing music works in the real world! Watching in real-time will equip you with the skills and understanding of how to overcome any particular issues that arise. It will show you different ways to tackle it, so you don’t quit, and instead, come out of the studio with completed projects.
