Hi.br
br
I hate to post for the first time, just to clear out some rookie questions,br
but I don’t attend music school nor do I have any friends with musical background so here I am.br
br
In hope for creating my own trance/house music,br
I’ve bought a AKAI MPK49 keyboard, bought reason 6, signed up for this academy,br
purchased some random sample dance sound packs, downloaded some free sample packs.br
br
I’m far from being capable to make any decent track yet, but I just noticed 95% of the samples I’ve browsed through (reason factory bank etc) just doesn’t sound anything like what I’ve been looking for.br
Nothing seems to sound PRACTICAL to what I’m trying to create.br
br
With that said, I’ve heard that KOMPLETE is a one-stop buy for any EDM producer,br
and I just want to make sure if this is accurate…br
do people wonder around the web, in search of sample packs until they find the sound they want? or is everyone spending time browsing through the gigantic selection of KOMPLETE, until they find what they want?br
br
FOR EXAMPLE; in this academy’s course “Production Techniquesbr
Ultimate Drums Walkthroughs - Trance”, shows some seemingly useful selection of kick drums. I’ve barely found 2 drums that seems fit for the genre after so many hours. Where do they just get these?br
br
br
br
Thanks for reading…br

*I also heard vengeance is good.br
br
any feedback appreciated.
You got enough already.br
It now boils down to creating a tune. br
br
There’s no single button to create a song with. Go through all the vids on this board. Especially the beginner vids, cause that’s what you are. br
br
Create a nice beat, add some bassline(s) and layer it with some cool synths.br
br
And you might ask Masseve for some additional help, cause he’s quite good in that particular genre :)br

Have a listen there.
We created ANA and Ultimate drums to give you all the fundamental drums and synth sounds you would need.br
br
I have made many tracks just using these 2 sounds sources and they work out very inexpensive compared to other options.br
