I am totally bored shitless with trance. 15 + years ago when it was a new and exciting underground sound it was cool but in 2012...not so much.

Yeah.. Trance is almost as old and boring as shit as the whole "trance is not underground and is therefore uncool" argument.

Wow, you're so cool!

Come up with an original thought, man. Like house is any more "underground" than trance? Please. And just because music is more popular doesn't make it better or worse. If you like or dislike something based on whether it's "underground" then that just makes you a d-bag.

Lol...u got one thing right newborn, I am cool ; ) You not so much...

[MBTC]

lol...now guys..

Personally I think of trance as a genre in itself, and that true musical genres never really go out of style per se. What I do see happening in electronic music is that the spotlight tends to shift onto newer forms when they emerge (side effect of mixing technology with music I guess?), such that when someone talented comes up with something new, it tends to get imitated to a very rapid peak of exhaustion. Trance is a genre that was successful, and the amount of bad music that results from the above mentioned imitation with a successful genre can really wear out the genre's welcome.

I always could and probably always will be able to tell the difference between good and bad trance. The really good stuff only makes up a small percent of what's out there, but luckily as other genres have gained popularity, the spotlight has shifted from trance, letting some of the other genres get their share of horrible sounding music :)

Personally I've gotten to the point where I cringe anytime I hear auto-tuned vocals in any song, but that's just me.

I don't think I'll ever get tired of hearing really good trance, though. I could say the same about a lot of music genres that are no longer the latest style though.

Berni trolling. Haha

Berni trolling. Haha
I am the infekted troll, Lol...damn thats a great name for my next tune ; )

[feedingear]

Good music is good, end of discussion.

Back in your hole Berni you angry man :)

Trolls live under bridges everyone knows that ; )...just been a long time since I got excited by a trance tune thats all. I was there at the start so I guess I'm a little jaded & there are many artists, dj's & labels that feel the same way. Take Bonzai records the Belguim trance monsters for instance who made there rep on putting out trance back in the day...they are now called Bonzai progressive & no longer release any trance! I could go on but I feel I am trolling....Lol.

Personally, I think of music as being a language. Most of the times people start talking about genres they're just trying to make their taste look like science. And let's be honest about it: it isn't, it's just taste. And the fact some of us have lived through the genesis years of some genre doesn't make us some kind of authority as well, most of the times those are the bitter ones who stand aside and comment how bad it's become. But most of the times, that's just it, it's changed. Most of the times it's the artists that get bored and change, and the public doesn't like their new adventures - think Infected Mushroom, for example. But who would possibly say that Trance as a whole is dead? Have you looked at pictures and videos from Boom Festival, for example? Maybe that's not your kind of thing, and it's fine, but there's still plenty of people around and the scene is pretty much alive and even some labels are still doing well releasing Trance material. Maybe you weren't even thinking of psychedelic trance in the first place, I bet. But that just proves the point, what the fuck is trance to start with? Besides a label, some concept that's used to define stuff that ranges from Tiesto to Psykovsky - and I believe there's like two galaxies in between those worlds, just saying...

Embrace the troll that's within you eheheh these trolls living under the bridges can throw parties there as well, it's like a troll neo-shamanic ritual, insane...

Peace

Just saying...seems like every Virus soundset for sale these days is trance or dubstep. Doesn't anyone program any other kinds of sounds? ;)

I think part of it is that the Virus was popularized around the same time trance was, as a genre. The other part if may be that the Virus (and perhaps VA technology in general) is not really known for things like bread and butter sounds or emulating ethnic acoustic instruments, film scoring type sounds, etc... most folks might look to other solutions like sampling or super-flexible soft synths for some types of work.

What kind of sounds are you looking for?

Kinda what I was getting at the start of the thread. I need another trance soundset like I need a hole in the head....damn, lyrics for my trollstep tune ; )

yeah, u have to record that one and post it here for us! :D

these days everything's about Dubstep, like there's nothing more in the world besides that... Native Instrument's kind of proud of Massive and Razor and the like being so used for Gremlin's sounding basslines (be carefull not to through water on them, only beer :rolleyes: )... and yeah, I've never even thought about buying a preset pack once... hell, I've never even placed any sounds on the virus that are not mine... so damn easy to make your own on these synths, but hey... there's people interested, let them have it!

[feedingear]

I'm the flip. I use a lot of the preset packs that are uploaded to the Virus site and also elsewhere - I'd much rather find a patch thats similar to what I want then tweak it from there then design it from scratch, for time constraints as well as my own skill level at synthesis.

Now there's a great long-lived Genre!!!

[mitchiemasha]

This quote says it all: "Language is a virus from outerspace." written by William S. Burroughs, and used by Laurie Anderson in a song of same name.
As Cultural Creatives, we should of all humans, remain open-minded to all forms of expression. Just because a person does not *like* a genre, it certainly does not invalidate it's creative ability. True creativity uses critical thinking, looking outside, upside and down from any given genre to make something new and innovative. Rant over, going back up to the mothership...

[namnibor]

Wanted to add that i do think it's a great thing that other people produce "sound-sets" for various instruments and do not view that as being a lazy musician in no sense--whether due to time factors or otherwise.

On another note, our Virus's showing by lit LED's what makes-up a given sound, really makes it easy to then take apart any given preset and learn deeper modulation routing, thus improving sound synthesis skills to make your own. These things are why I lean heavily with Access and Waldorf instruments; due to the depth and always finding new sonic territory. May soon add Radikal Technologie's Accelorator to that list!
