Tranceformer, I tried to stick with a trans-ish vibe and keep the beat very progressive-trancy. The song is by Massive Attack, tried to edit song to make it more trancy.

Can you help me understand where the boundary lies? I think "Melodrama" is techno whereas "Man next door" is trance?

Okay so "Mellodrama" is progressive Trance and "Man Next Door" is Grunge (listened to the origial Track of it)

Trance is a EDM-style with significant silent and high-energetic parts in the Tracks.
Trance always uses a 4/4 Beatline.
Trance tracks are in the complete versions (Mixes) very long tracks wich have a long build up and long regression.
At the beginning they mostly use only one or two instruments and after eight 4/4 beats another instrument joins to the beat.
Example:
0:00-0:13
Here is only a Kick and a bassline.
Then a silent swoosh joins.
Another 32 beats later the so-called sequence joins. 0:26
The seqence is a long holded synthesizer which is always cut.
If this synthesizer hits every 1/16 of a quarter and is as bass melody more in the background in the track we call it sequence.
This heads on till a drop. Sometimes there are Hi-Hats or something gets more significant like the swoosh in this example track. and also the order of these steps could be different.
Yeah but now back to the example track we have here:
At 0:54 we have a little drop and one of the melody giving synthesizers joins. Also we have now a Snare on every second quarter.
At 1:22 (64 beats later) The voice of the singer joins. This is mostly where the main part of the track is beginning if you listen to Vocal Trance.
32 (1:35) beats later the Beat drops in and another 32 beats (1:49) later the another synth begins.
Then we have a litte build up again.
(2:17) vocals again
2:45 main synth is starting
3:41 important drop (this is significant for trance now a very silent and relaxing part starts)
4:30 track starts to get more power and louder again
4:50 main melody and more build up
6:31 regression of the track starts



What I wrote here is more about gerneral to trance. It may always vary but here are some more examples and you will hear what I mean.





P.S.: I am no native speaker of the english language so it was very hard for me to explain Trance here.
If someone could do it better I would be pleased if he or she does. ^^
Ohh and if there are some mistakes or something taht could bea added i would be pleased too.

If you have another questions I am standing ready. ^^

Trance is a general term for a bunch of subgenres (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_trance_genres). Search on YT for those genres and listen for yourself.

That's the best way I can explain Trance, or any genre for that matter ^^ Explaining music in words is nearly impossible.

Wrong genre, but I like what you do with the lyrics. :)

Nice! :) Much better balance on the text effects, and I like the song. The "even when you are alone" part is great, where the "alone" has a shadow and rises, makes for good emphasis.

But... why is the image so tiny? I vaguely see some blue stuff around it as well, not sure what's going on.

I worked on all videos in 1080p... what is small can you explain?

This song has been done.... But one version inspired me....

Thenakriin gave me blessing to play with their interpretation of Sun is up.
Narkrrin, thank you for letting me, and for forwarding links.

The image in the video (previous one) is tiny, it doesn't fill up the entire video player, there are black bars all around it. And the video is in 1440p, not 1080p :)

I've tried a different approach. It's text free for now. But hopefully they are entertaining enough without text to stand on their own.

I've been working on a trio:

Updating

Using what I've learned, here is a new video. I consider it complete unless somebody points out some glaring oversight.

This is a return to the basics of Nightcore.

This is a return to the basics. Feedback is awesome, think some things may have been too dark...

Thinking of adding lyrics...
