@MG: thanks! Yea the dynamics would’ve been better without so much limiting. Back then I used to go extreme with loudness maximizers and you can see the results

Good tutorial. The only thing I would say is looking at your waveforms, you seem to have compressed the crap out of your song. Would it be improved dynamically if you left more headroom when mixing and not limited so much on finalizing? Cheers. Nice site btw.

Wow… this actually makes a lot of sense to me, even though it’s different (and a lot easier) than what I’m used to doing…

Hello, I’m a budding producer of EDM (mainly trance and it’s subgenres) and I think it’s awesome to happen across this tutorial on structure… great job, and thanks for the lesson on the basics friend.

Thank You Petri! This is the first time I have seen a skilled producer actually share basic tips on how their music is produced.

Question: How do you make that synth sound that starts in bar 31? It is a common sound and I would love to learn how to make it. But I use Reason and I wonder if I can find a sound that is comparable?

Thanks!
