Should I release this track?? 🤔(Hopefully Armin won't mind!) Let me know in the comments 👇
It's not for any lack of your enthusiasm, but I'm just not a fan of this style of music. But if I were going to make any constructive comments it might be to slow down, maybe pitch down the spoken part. Also I'd try to shorten the s sibilance on the tag line. Otherwise I'm firmly in the MTNEA(make trance not exist again) camp. 😂
I think that vocal suits the track really well! Epic result!
u should send it to armin i bet he would release it with u :)
yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Its your first track what really sweet tunes by Melodic layers that's is it what I am all time make it
Everytime Will makes a trance style tutorial, he is having these out of world experiences and feelings 😂 You can tell he loves it! Another great one 👍
The trance ninja is taking over his mind 😂
I do love trance! I love a lot of genres, if I am honest but sometimes inspiration takes me and all I can do is see where I end 😁
I have started making music just as a hoby, the one thing I realised is that when you explain it feels so simple and easy. Literally after everyone of your video i feel like, I am gonna make bangers in just a few hours but when you sit down and try to do stuff, reality hits you and you realise its not that easy as i thought it would be 😅😅
That’s true! It takes practise. If you want help, feedback and support, definitely check out my Accelerator program
Thanks for the shoutout Will! Learned a lot from the program and was happy to be one of your students! 🙌
Congratulations for putting in the work!! 🙌
I love your energy, man! So inspirational!!!
I had so many goosebumps listening to this. Please keep doing trance, this is lovely and super usefull
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it so much! I honestly loved making this 😊🙌🏻👌🏻💪🏻
Solid work!
I'm loving the fast pace, straight to the point.
Cheers, glad you liked it 🙂🙌🏻
Inspiring video. Well done Will.
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Thanks as always for watching and supporting 🙏🏻
Amazing! Love this type of videos! Definitely release the track!
Thanks for the suggestion! I will add this to my list and let's see how many people will vote for it! 💪
I do not remember having seen you getting this happy by what you are making as in this vid. Lovely. And what a wonderful video as well, to see how you get to to the end result. This makes me happy as well!
Stoked to hear that! I indeed very much enjoyed making this after ADE 😇 Glad people are enjoying watching the vid and following my creation process 🙌🏻
That you can externalise everything that happens in your head is very important for us, for some it can be annoying, but for what we want to learn it is very important, it helps us to understand your building process.
Thank you very much!
Couldn’t agree more!
Thanks far watching and supporting the channel 🙂🙌🏻
Awesome tutorial! Love your enthusiasm. Great track!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Thanks for watching and supporting 🙌🏻🙏🏻
It was great and I really enjoyed how you got into it. Those were the best moments of the video. I could really relate to those moments as I often experience them too, when the ball gets rolling. Thanks
You're welcome, really glad you enjoyed it! 🙂🙌🏻
So impressive! That is Armin vibe right there!
Thank you! I am really glad you liked it 🙂
Chord sequence reminds me of OT Quartet - Hold that sucker down 1994. Banging track.
Love it!
Armin being the reason I started making music is my personal favourite DJ. I really loved this tutorial, thanks again Will. It's crazy how similar this is to some of his latest releases.
Thank you so much, I am stoked you enjoyed it! 🙂🙌🏻🙏🏻
Believe it or not, Armin is a man of deep faith. 'what many people don’t know about van Buuren is that he is a devout Christian, and that his faith plays a big role in his music and his life. In an interview with Dutch publication Nieuwe Revu, van Buuren opened up about his beliefs and how they influence his work. “I do believe in God,” he said. ” I think that’s one of the reasons why my music has been so successful, because it has a positive message.” Van Buuren went on to explain that his music is all about bringing people together and making them happy, something that he believes is in line with God’s will. “I think that if there’s a God, he or she wants us to be happy and to enjoy our lives,”'

Thank you for watching and supporting the channel 🙂🙌🏻
what a epic ep
Cheers, glad you liked it! 🙂
don't know if its my age but i just feel the late 90s trance was epic, will add my favourite music is late 90s trance lol airwaves, o t quartet, beachball ect love it. heck may have to crack out the old clubbers bible from 98 lol
What an awesome video armazing 👍🏻
Wow. At the beginning I thought this track wasn't goin anywhere, then slowly but steadily it morphed into a solid track! Being able to see the possibilities is truly a wonderful skill.
On Armin's advice. This morning I woke up with a cool tune and most of all a good beat inside my head. I started my DAW and as soon as I grabbed the first samples to create it with they sounded so different that it wiped the whole idea from my head. I have that a lot I must say. I wish I could record those kind of thoughts.
Hum them out, it's probably the easiest :)
Glad you liked the video and the track in the end. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel, I really appreciate it 🙌🏻🙏🏻
Sounds like a banger Will! Always inspiring watching you work.
Appreciate it!
Thank you so much, Tim, I really appreciate the kind words of support! 🙏🏻
Loved the intro, a very well done trailer
After watching all of it, you amaze me man. You make creating great sounds looking so easy. Thanks for sharing this ❤
I don’t comment on videos often but I must say, I really enjoyed the video, you make amazing content❤ keep it up, you really see how much you enjoy the work you do🤙🏻
Thanks for this kind of video, I've learnt a lot!
You’re welcome! Glad it was helpful 🙌🏻
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🙂🙏🏻
Thanks so much for another tutorial on music production @EDMTIPS :)
You’re welcome! Hope you enjoyed it 🙂
WIll... I watch all Your videos since months. Idk why but I feel like this is one of Your best videos. Ninja synth riff gives goosebumps. I am so happy I managed to find Your channel, Thank You. Ahh and yes You should!
Thank you so much for your comment! Happy to hear!
Hell yeah !
Back to the keyboard tomorrow. ❤️❤️❤️
Indeed! haha
thank you man you are so generous.That video is valuable
My pleasure!
Stoked to hear that! Thank you for watching and supporting the channel 🙂🙏🏻🙌🏻
I'm getting some seriously nostalgic pendulum "The other side" vibes at 54:11. Love it, great work 👏
Thank you so much for the support!
Probably one of your best tutorials yet Will!
Ah, thank you so much, I am really glad you liked it!
Thanks as always for watching and supporting the channel 😊
I just knew when I picked up Communication bk in the day it was huge, Armin one of the very best! 👍
this is my favorite video you created yet. Trance is by far the most time consuming and difficult genre to produce and it really shows why everyone sticks to the other genres (no hate) but the reward is sweeter than sweet. I began my production journey because of Armin. Thank you for this free gold. You're the best, Will!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching and for the kind words of support 🙂
What other trance artists are you digging at the moment?
@@EDMTips on the top of my head - Ahmed Helmy, Avao, Rub!k are really killing it right now!!
I agree, the infectious enthusiasm from the OG for the process is truly inspirational 👌🏻
Thank you, I will check them out :)
@@twintelemusic Agreed, but don't forget about Above & Beyond, Jason Ross, and Maor Levi.
Great learnt a lot ❤
Stoked ot hear that! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🙂
Hell yeah!!!

I'm only 15 min into the video but just want to take a moment to say a *HUGE* ** for yet another awesome tutorial... 🙏🙏🙏
It's amazing to see the creativity in real live from someone with your experience... It is eye opening 💪💪💪 and for the less experienced of us even mind-blowing ...
You’re very welcome, I am stoked you find it inspiring! 🙂🙌🏻
Nice! The track reminds me of "Hold that sucker down"
Indeed, I was told this on several occasions 🙂🙌🏻🙏🏻
Fantastic, thank you! ❤
You're welcome, glad you liked it! 🙂
@@EDMTips There might've been couple tears in the "vocal moment" part 🥲Armin has been my favourite trance producer for over 20 years so it did the trick 😄❤🔥
Wow what a great insight. Thanks for doing this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it! Any other artist or style you’d like to see me cover?

Awesome, glad you enjoyed it! Which part was your favourite? 🙂
Banger!!
Cheers. I am stoked you liked it 🙂
Thank you for watching and supporting 🙌🏻🙏🏻
That's why I produce trance for 10 years now. It's all about the melody in my opinion. And yes layering is very important in trance. The basslines, pads, leads can contain over 8 layers each. Great video by the way.
Thank you so much, Michel, I am really glad you liked it! 🙂🙌🏻
eargasme, Will !!🤩
Thank you so much, I am stoked you enjoyed it! 🙂🙌🏻🙏🏻
O mate... Hell Yeah! 😍
Cheers man!
Nice one, getting crazy ot quartet vibes from this.
Cheers, I am glad you like it! 🙌🏻
Thanks for watching and supporting 🙏🏻
That's just class ❤
Appreciate it! 🙌🙏 Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🙂
@EDMTips Anytime! Your video tutorials are the best i've seen so far bud, keep it up!
The two kick intro reminds me of the opening track to CD2 of ASOT2009. I do love Ableton's racks: the biggest thing I miss when using Reaper. With the recent public release of Ostirus, I'm going to have a go at reproducing your video using only Ostirus for the synths (though I do have Serum and Ableton). (I'm at 47:00 and loving this video so far.) 51:00 sounds like a happy hardcore remix of the Harry Potter theme.
Will always comes out with a banger and this is no different. Favorite video from recent history. Keep it up Will and Team!
Thank you, I am stoked you liked it! Do you think I should finish it? 🙂
Definitely @@EDMTips
BANGER!
Appreciate it! 🙌🙏
That was so good 🤯
Stoked to hear that, Tim! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🙌🏻
Great!!!!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! 🙂🙌🏻🙏🏻
Great tutorial sometimes I was reminded of : in my mind - antiloop
Thank you, glad you liked it 🙂
Hell yeah! Release this track, sir. ❤
Thank you so much for the feedback, really appreciate it! 👌🏻🙂🙏🏻
Nice Job
I Love the Chords, because A-Minor :D
As an Armin fan since "Touch me" and "Sound of Goodbye" this was a nice edition. Armin Tribute Anthem here we go wooo... And agree with some of the other comments here keep up the style that makes you, you.
You know it :)
This is awesome 🎉
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching and supporting 🙂🙌🏻
The song keeps me nostalgic (bumping my head)🔥🔥🔥
Then my job here is done! Thanks for watching and supporting :)
@@EDMTips as always.
This was really amazing 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you, I am stoked you enjoyed!
Any other style or artist you’d like to see me cover?
@@EDMTips You're doing always great job!!!But this was particularly cause I'm big fan of Armin ....Maybe Giussepe Ottaviani 😉
Release yes🎉🎉
Thanks for your feedback, really appreciate it! 🙂🙌🏻
Armin Brother would have been a good title too
