    I am a Trance music producer. My productions are great, but I don't know how to release them. What should I do?

    Try putting your stuff on Soundcloud and other music platforms. It may take some time to build up an audience, but if you keep putting your stuff out there, and it's good, someone will take notice.

    How do I make a trance which makes everyone on air?
    Community Answer
    Using white noise through a filter using automation to open and close the filter over every 8 bars. Use a high simple string patch mixed way back usually the root not of the key you are writing in. Reverb with a long release with a subtle sidechain. Watch the reverbs in complex areas, or you'll end up with mud. Most producers automate the reverb tails and eq very carefully.

    Repetition and subtleties. You're looking for flow. Use tension, simple or dramatic, and release throughout. The drop is the main build and release. Make sure it flows, but don't rush this piece; it can make or break your track. Use simple melodies.
