Full Trance Melody Writing & Deconstructing [95 minutes] Video Here - https://allanmorrowstudios.com/trance-music/trance-melody-writing-deconstructing/

If you want to write melodies in a way that you don’t need to remember chords, then you have come to the right place!

Trance melody writing can sometimes be very overwhelming and daunting. Which chord do I start with? What pattern should I use? What is my route note? How do I evolve this melody further? Is this melody boring? Does my progression resolve nicely?

This tutorial aims to answer all of those questions so that writing melodies can be much more fun for you with a way better outcome!  Imagine being able to write good melodies in like 20 minutes?!

Melody writing used to be something I found quite difficult until I started to approach it in this very easy to understand way.

I never write melodies now in any other way, and I am now writing the best melodies I have ever wrote! This way of writing melodies really was a breakthrough for myself. They now have way more harmony, much better riffs and evolve nicely to keep the melody interesting without losing the hook.

Now its time for you to write exciting & better melodies! After all, the melody is probably the most important part of any Trance track!

The Trance Melody Writing & Deconstructing video covers:

– 1 bar melodies & how to use them.
– Where to start when writing a melody.
– Techniques to keep your melodies interesting.
– The power of scales.
– Mixing and matching melodies.
– Creating progressions & using them later to your advantage.
– Changing the direction of your melody.
– Deconstructing melodies.
– How to make your remix different from the original.

& much, much more!

28 x Sylenth1 Trance Leads Presets - allanmorrowstudos.com [Sample]

Allan Morrow (UK) is a name which has become synonymous with the worldwide Trance community, this talented DJ & producer from the United Kingdom has spent years perfecting his production talents and in turn his music has received support from various high profile DJ’s such as Armin Van Buuren, Simon Patterson & Aly & Fila amongst many more.


Allan first got immersed in Electronic Dance music by a visit to the clubbing capital of the world Ibiza; a trip to the legendary Amnesia for Cream followed and really opened his eyes to the immense power of Electronic music. Mesmerised by the Turntable trickery of Deck wizard Eddie Halliwell, this was a turning point for Allan and as soon as he returned to the UK he purchased his first set of Turntables, and began to hone his musical ear by perfecting the art of DJing.


Not content with playing the music he loved to spin, it wasn’t long before Allan decided to set up his own home Studio and became involved in Music Production. Allan has invested several years mastering his sound and this has proven to be a valuable asset making Allan an Artist that produces 100% of his own material, without the need of Engineers or Ghost-writers, something that not many recent producers can claim today. This has lead to his productions being on credible labels such as Armada, Blackhole Recordings, Damaged Records, Kearnage Recordings, Mental Asylum Records, Tytanium Recordings, Discover & Many more!. 


Allan cites Paul Van Dyk, Simon Patterson, Giuseppe Ottaviani & Will Atkinson as his main influences when it comes to Production, so it comes as no surprise that Allan’s sound is rooted firmly in the more energetic side of the Trance Spectrum. His productions are always aimed straight at the global Dance-floors with club shaking Kick drums, Cone rattling bass lines & a touch of acid thrown in for good measure, his signature sound is always complimented by strong melodies, full-fire Synths & Clever FX which has earned Allan many plaudits from both clubbers, DJ’s & Producers around the world.



With a discography that most producers can only dream of, the future is looking promising for Allan, one of the Nu-Breed Trance producers really making an impact on the modern day Electronic music scene.
