Product Description
This is the fourth 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. Episode 1 (Starting Template) is available here, Episode 2 (Structure) here and Episode 3 (Groove) here.
Episode 4 starts off where the previous episode ended. We have our basic “starting template” done, as well as an overall structure and arrangement sections in place, and we’ve created a groove with various percussive and drum elements. We now want to add atmosphere and ambience to our track, which is a critical aspect of trance music production. What should we use, when should the atmospheres play and how should they be placed in the mix ? How do we add depth and give a space to each sound ? In this episode, Adam Ellis starts with a basic template (kick, bass, crashes) and goes on to develop a multi-layered atmospheric section that makes the track instantly sound more professional and polished. You’ll also find out how the work done in Episodes 1 and 2 (essentially preparing all the channels and busses) will prove extremely useful for building the actual atmospheric layers.
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 64 minute long video, Adam will show you :
- Why atmospheres are an important part of creating a good trance vibe
- Using the bassline / kick as a basis to start adding atmospheres
- Making atmospheres work together
- Using Omnisphere & Kontakt for beautiful atmospheric sounds
- Being creative with audio samples
- Processing individual atmospheres (EQ, compression, delay)
- Processing the atmospheres with the means of a BUS (EQ, reverb, limiter)
- Matching atmospheres with the key of your track
- Fading atmospheres in / out with volume & filters
- Panning atmospheres uniquely to get a wider sound and cleaner mix
You can watch this video and prepare your own trance atmospheres based on Adam’s suggestions in Logic Pro X.
Package Contents
- The video tutorial (64 minutes long , 1080p quality, in english)
- The Logic Pro X session created by Adam Ellis in his tutorial
I’m using another DAW, not Logic Pro X. Can I still benefit from buying this tutorial ?
Yes, you can still learn the concepts and techniques that Adam uses in his productions, and apply them in your own DAW.
About Adam Ellis
Powerful, euphoric melodies and relentless energy are only some of the illuminative qualities that Adam Ellis contains within his own special blend of euphoric Trance, and his rising reputation has become synonymous with the elite, international Trance fraternity within the last two years. Born and bred in Sheffield, England, (where the first, legendary Superclub, Gatecrasher One, was born), his humble upbringing has culminated into the quintessential underdog story where hard work and driven ambitions has ultimately brought about huge successes within his short career.
Harboring a fierce passion for music, Adam dedicated many years to music production before making his first major impact with a fantastic remix to the seminal Planet Perfecto classic, ‘Bullet In The Gun’. Adam graciously reworked the iconic hit into a modern, peak time floorfiller, and reaped huge support by the main man himself, Paul Oakenfold. Additionally, this breakthrough remix was personally selected as an exclusive addition to ‘Perfecto Records Collected – Volume Three’ mix compilation.
In the way of original productions, Adam delivered a fierce opening act with his debut single of ‘Napalm Poet’ on Kearnage Recordings in the Summer of 2013, and it quickly became a feature track in the sets of many leading artists including John O Callaghan, Bryan Kearney, Aly & Fila, Simon Patterson & Armin van Buuren, (to name a few). This was Adam’s first number 1 track on Beatport and was one of the highlights in the finale of the ASOT 600 celebrations at the Who’s Afraid Of 138?! Stage. Even today, many diehard Trance fans consider this single to be one of, (if not the best), Uplifting productions of 2013.
What followed after his success with his 2013 single debut was his Subculture premiere entitled ‘Mandarine’, which also topped the Beatport Trance Top 100 charts and was supported by Manuel Le Saux, Richard Durand, Indecent Noise and many more. Adam then went on to produce two more Top 10 singles in 2014 including his astonishing follow up from ‘Napalm Poet’ of ‘Agent Orange’, and has had nearly every single of his career played on ASOT. As far as collaborations go, Adam has worked with 2 of the leading names in the Trance scene today with Bryan Kearney & Menno De Jong and their combined might has brought about the classic remix of Conductor & The Cowboy’s ‘Feeling This Way’ and the wondrous collaborative single, ‘Solicitude’, (respectively).
He is also well known for his stellar remixes of John O Callaghan’s ‘Big Sky’, Menno De Jong’s ‘Creatures Of The Night’, and these reworks strive to further showcase his signature, Uplifting sound. Lately, his remixes to Mark Sherry’s A Star With A Star and Jordan Suckley’s Contaminated have been fantastic additions to his growing discography, and his reworks of Liam Wilson’s Kiss and Lange & Susana’s Risk Worth Taking were featured on Solarstone’s Pure Trance Vol. 3 and Lange’s We Are Happy People remixes album.
As a DJ, Adam intense vigor for the vintage sounds of Uplifting and Tech Trance has culminated into a stunning array of music that extends from iconic classics from artists such as Giuseppe Ottaviani and Aly & Fila to the latest in cutting edge Trance sounds. Fueled with fire and power, his relentless display of mighty melodies and spellbinding breakdowns have brought about amazing reception for his fans, and has allotted him certain opportunities to play at some of the world’s biggest clubs, including his recent debut at Cream, Amnesia in Ibiza, which is considered one of the biggest arenas for Trance in the world.
As one of the rare breed of producers who writes 100% of their own material without the help of engineers or ghost writers, Adam has many more projects in the works to be released on Kearnage Recordings, AVA, Damaged, Outburst, Pure Trance, Blackhole Recordings and much more. With the future looking exceptionally bright for this young underdog, the start of 2015 is only going to add fuel to the growing movement behind his music and unite them within his revitalised golden age of Trance.

This feels a little like an infomercial for Omnisphere and Exhale.
Great products, for sure, but with some imagination and work you can create some great atmospheres from freeware and stuff just lying around your house.
Setup a multitrack project in your DAW just for atmospheres and layer in different pads and arps and weird ass sounds. Capture reverb tails and reverse them. timestetch stuff. Find patches on your synths you would never normally use and bury them in effects. Grab a microphone and record sounds from the real world like the sound of your furnace going. (Pitch it down and put some reverb on it for an eerie drone.) cut it up. mix it down. manipulate it further. and import them into your project. (Maybe I should produce a video on making atmospheres!)
Again, I love Adam’s productions but this series feels more like unedited reality tv.
I don’t mind youtube videos with spotty production and interuptions but when I’m purchasing a “professional”, “commercial” tutorial I don’t want to spend 10 minutes watching Adam sorting out a technical issue with his controller and midi. This video could have been edited down to about 30 minutes and possibly included with the FX “chapter”.

Hey all. I always try to do the best I can with these tutorials, but like everything in life, you cant please everyone. I have taken on board some feedback after randomly stumbling across the reviews on each video. I will try improve the videos with this feedback.
In terms of what plugins you do or don’t have though, thats not my issue. I use what I use. I will ask My Loops to include ‘Main Synths’ used next time, maybe this will help.
‘I thought that’s how to make an atmosphere sound but It’s like how to make your track sounds more atmospheric.’
Its an Atmosphere tutorial. I am trying to make my tracks more atmospheric.
Anyway, I am open to feedback and if you email me, I would be happy to discuss this further.

It sounds like you know how to do Atmos fairly well. This is just my way of doing it mate.
Sorry man, but I am me, and I don’t want to offer tutorials that everyone else is doing. This is me making music MY way and as a professional musician I hoped it gave you a REAL insight into what a producer really does. Sorry if that doesn’t work for you.

“In terms of what plugins you do or don’t have though, thats not my issue.”
Yeah, that’s true, it’s not your issue as a producer. Those products are amazing and you should use the hell out of them if you have them.
But from a cost/benefit perspective of someone dropping money on a trance production tutorial, I had a higher expectation than watching someone pull up a preset on omnisphere and tweak it. Sorry, just my opinion. The legendary Activa also has some mad skills when it comes to atmosphere and sound design and creates his own presets.
Alternatively, after demonstrating using something in Omnisphere, demonstrating how you can achieve a sick atmosphere using just the logic sampler and a few effects…..now that has some interesting value for those of us who can’t readily drop the equivalent of a month’s rent or more on omnisphere, kontakt and exhale.
All that aside, congratulations on your new single “What makes your heart beat” amazing. Cheers!

Another comprehensive tutorial. I find it extremely useful when Adam Ellis shares his experience with specific VSTs and whats best practice when using them. He has taken away all the future mistakes and frustration that you’ll experience when trying to get that professional atmosphereic sound. The explinations of the use of effects plugins is incredibly informative and clear. Also demonstrates the organisational side of producing snd the key factors to producing smart and effective = excellent workflow.
This tutorial has been another addition to great insight to music production.Once again I look forward to the next installment.Thank you Adam and MyLoops.

I thought that’s how to make an atmosphere sound but It’s like how to make your track sounds more atmospheric.He is very dependant on Kontakt library,no creativity at all.At the end of tutorial song isn’t very catchy,but I’d like his method on his own way.

Like others have said, it’s a good tutorial but Adam discusses atmospheres using plugins which you might not have, especially some of the kits from Konkact.
Never the less, good tutorial and I did learn a load of new tricks which I’ll try out in my next production.

Another good tutorial for a beginner like me. I learned some tricks that I can definitely use for my own productions. Of course I don’t have all the Plugins he is using in the tutorial but you can use other stuff to rebuild some of the staff. He is just doing it like is doing it usually. Thank you Adam for all the tipps and tricks to get a better producer.

Atmosphere was always lacking in my tracks, as many people would tell me so I was so glad to see the Adam Ellis Trance Production Tutorials #4 – Atmosphere tutorial. I”ve always had trouble mixing my atmos and not knowing what to even do as far as atmos was concerned. This broke all that down for me and my tracks now sound better for it.
