However the techniques of writing a Trance melody & chord progression shown in this production video can be used with Ableton, Cubase, FL Studio etc.

From a Dj who used to Dj during the big late 90s trance boom, this is great stuff. I always loved Vincent De Moors melodies, his team up with Frerry Corsten as Veracocha was epic, as was Airwave, Airscape (Svenson & Gielen) Signum, Armin Van Buuren, Tiesto, Cor Fijneman, Mauro Picotto, Marco V, Dumonde, Nuw Idol, Flutlicht, PVD and so many others that were really good, brilliant times 1997 - 2003, 99/00 was amazing, the clubs felt magical at those times.

I will be coming back to this tutorial once I am more familiar with my DAW, should have done this many moons ago, but life had other ideas, but never too late to start.

Fantastic, all the best for the future! 👍

Awesome tudorial. Clear to see you are skilled at writing as you flow really quick through it. That said, gave me loads of ideas and will be writing some melodies.
