Find out how to achieve some of the effects and sounds commonly heard in Imphenzia tracks.

Trance Lead - Creating a trance lead melody
	Format: Video || Created: 25th March 2010 || Reference Track: False Awakening First part of two on how to create a trance lead melody In this tutorial I cover how I normally go about creating a melody using a trance lead. For the purpose of this tutorial I use Cubase 5 x64 with Sylenth1 by LennarDigital. Topics covered are: creating the melody, transposing up and down, variations of note lengths, morphing the sound using automation and cutoff frequency using brightness (midi control message 74).

Layers - Creating layers of instruments for enhanced atmosphere
	Format: Video || Created: 22nd March 2010 || Reference Track: Imaginary Friend This is a tutorial of how to achieve a fuller and more dreamy trance sound using multiple layers of instruments of which many are playing the same notes. The tutorial can be applied regardless of which sequencer or instruments you work with - in my case I use Steinberg Cubase 5 with virtual instruments such as reFX Nexus2 (with expansion packs) and reFX VanGuard (with expansion packs) and Cubase's own drum instrument "Groove Agent ONE". The tutorial demonstrats the full sound and then focus on each individual instrument and how they are played. Building blocks are drums, two bass lines, 1 pad, 2 filling leads and 4 primary (melodic) leads. The source track used for this tutorial is "Imaginary Friend". VIEW TUTORIAL
