This is the eleventh episode in a 12 part series of tutorial videos dedicated to Trance Music Production. This series will cover every aspect of music production (apart from Mastering) and will continually develop your skills when applied correctly.
In this episode Adam gives us a 2019 update on how you should use a “Starting Template” when making trance music. A starting template already contains the main channels, groups, busses, send channels and FX chains laid out before you start working on your track. This allows you to save your time for working on actually making music, rather than preparing all the routing, busses, channels, that you’ll inevitably have in your finished production.
The package also includes 6 versions of the starting template 2019 : for Logic Pro X, Ableton Live, Cubase, FL Studio, Reason and Studio One.
Who is this tutorial for ?
This tutorial is for artists who want to work faster and improve their sound at the same time. It’s aimed at Logic Pro X users, but the tricks you will learn can also be applied in other DAWs.
What You Will Learn
In this 101 minute long video, Adam will show you :
– The Logic Pro X starting template he uses in all of his tracks
– How to save tremendous amounts of time for your upcoming productions
– Preparing all the required FX chains on each channel
– Preparing the general EQ settings for each type of channel (kick, mid bass, sub bass, leads, etc.)
– How to prepare the mixer to allow enough headroom at the end of your mixdown
– How to save CPU & control your sounds easier with bus channels
– Preparing side-chaining settings for all channels, making sure you get a clean mix
– Preparing reverb & limiter settings on your different busses
– Preparing your vocal channel(s) : compression, EQing, reverb, limiter
– Keeping the project clean with Track Stacks
– Setting up send / return channels
– How to manage Reverb rooms to get a cleaner mix
– Adam’s tips to keep your Logic Pro X projects organized and neat, helping you work faster

You can watch this video and prepare your own starting template based on Adam’s instructions. That being said, if you want to save even more time, you can use the starting template directly included in this package (the project created by Adam Ellis in the tutorial), which was replicated for Logic Pro X, Ableton Live, Cubase, FL Studio, Reason and Studio One. The starting template doesn’t have any sounds loaded into it. It was designed to be a basis for all your upcoming tracks.
