Trance Production Tip 1 (By ReOrder) : Fundamentals Of Track Construction
Tibor Tomecko, aka ReOrder, is without a doubt one of the most wanted acts in the trance scene today. TOP10 Beatport seller for past 3 years, hundreds of thousands listeners on Spotify he has lots to offer! He regularly performs alongside the world’s DJ elite, his productions are widely supported by prominent DJs and he is no stranger to fans of A State Of Trance with several Future Favorites and Tune Of The Weeks up his sleeve.
Tibor is also an accomplished sound designer and responsible for creating many successful Myloops products, such as ReOrder Trance Spire Soundset Vol. 3, Making Of A Trance Production With ReOrder (Video + Ableton Live Project) and many more.
We caught up with Tibor and asked him his number one tips on various subjects related to trance music production. In this first post, he gives us his number one tip on track construction in trance music.
Trance Production Tip 1 (By ReOrder) : Fundamentals Of Track Construction
When I started making music I always did it the same way over and over. Wrote up a melody or a beat loop and then went right to the beginning of the song without knowing what will come next and just start building it from scratch. Eventually not even using the melody or the loop. I can tell you I have hundreds of melodies and loops that were never used because if this.
The problem was not in the loop or the melody wasn’t good enough but that I came up with new ideas as I was writing it from the beginning. In general I started with something nice and never used it because I made something completely different in the end. What I missed was one simple thing.
To ease up your workflow for future try to think about this as a painter painting a picture of house. You have the idea, it is the painting of a house. What do you do first? Well, you sketch it up before you start using colors. And same goes for the full song. You already have the idea which is your loop so now think of your song construction (your sketch). Of course you can change it later there are no boundaries when it comes to music but when you have the initial idea and you know roughly how your track will look like and sound like it’s easier to develop this loop idea into a final produced piece of music.
Sometimes you might get stuck thinking about it too much. Every genre of music has its general structure. And trance is not different. So take your favorite track, place it into a daw and use it as a reference. This doesn’t mean that you are not competent at building your own track. You’re just taking an already structured single and using it to build your own. This way you are basically learning how to structure a trance track.
This little idea completely changed the way I think about music production and it speeds up the process from idea to final song by a lot!
I always say the best songs I released I have written in a day. So if you have an idea don’t waste time, build your sketch first and you’ll see how fast track comes to life.
Making Of A Trance production By ReOrder

Envio – Touched By The Sun (FL Studio Remake)
This tutorial will teach you how I remade parts of Envio – Touched By The Sun. This track produced by Ashkan Fardost was one of the most popular releases on A State Of Trance back in 2003. Its success came from combining an uplifting trance arrangement with more chilly / balearic elements such as a beautiful electric guitar riff in the breakdown and climax. After this track, Envio went on to produce several other amazing and inspiring productions such as Time To Say Goodbye, For You and Love Poison.
Read the tutorial below to find out how I recreated the guitar and string parts of Envio – Touched By The Sun in FL Studio.

How To Make A Big Trance Arp Lead
This is a tutorial that shows you how to build a trance arp lead. An arp (or arpeggio) in trance music is typically a fast paced melody playing the notes from a chord progression in a specific sequence (or pattern), rather than simultaneously. For any given chord progression, many different patterns can potentially be created, resulting in different sounding arpeggios.
