Novation V-Station - Classic Trance Lead Tutorial (1/2)

designasound.com - in this tutorial, I would like to show you how to create Classic Trance Lead with two instances of Novation V-Station virtual synth and my favourite DAW - Ableton Live.

The concept is very simple - I'm starting with an Init Bank sound and step by step I'm going to explain some few tricks about sound synthesis. The subtitles are available but they're pretty small - be sure to watch at full screen.

These sounds and whole soundbank with 114 sounds is available at www.designasound.com

thanks for nice comment :)

youTube compressed the sound quality so it seems a little bit too flat but somewhere on my website is mp3 320kbps example...

Overall, i need to improve subtitles for sure :)

Again, thank you for your comment

I thought the master detune thing was clever :)

@imperialpod Agreed, it's how you use it. Plenty of well-known, warm, lush trance leads are made with V-station.

@Glisevask So which is it? Extremely cool sounds? or flat, lifeless and boring?

[MrJamesmusic]

Your video is too confusing. First of all where does it even begin?

Hey THANKs for taking the time to create and post this video, especially with sub-titles.

If you used Premiere to edit your video, you could simply SCALE the Sub-titles and add a 1-2 pixel glow, so that they stand out more (use Gold or Black, with White main color). You may consider Posting the Video in HD, the sound quality is better, & when encoding Video from your editing program... render it in HD 720p with the audio in 96-192Kbps (max). If it's already compressed a little, it better!

Sounds a little bit like wintergames on commodore64 xD

[tufftouch]

quality!

I beg to differ. If you make a flat sound then of course it will sound flat.

If you want a lush, supernova sound, then just make one.

This is as lush and smooth as any hardware I've owned over the years.

Pretty basic sound, but it's still extremely effective! The only drawback is the fact that V-Station sounds very digital and lacks warmth. V-Station can off course produce extremely cool sounds, but it always sounds digital, flat, lifeless and a bit boring. It's such a shame that V-Station's sound misses these quality, because it's such a fun synth to work with. But kudos for the video! I liked that you went trough the use of effects and the use of the instrument rack aswell! Great stuff!
