when listening to shows like State of Trance, Group Therapy or similar popular ones, I always ask myself whether there is a kind of "top 20" for setting up the sound of progressive or uplifting style, especially concerning the synths and effects which are used.
Is it still a kind of secret of the "big guys" which tools there are using or is this well known?
Although the tracks do not sound identical, of course, I would guess that there are some very popular solutions, for example:
- which drum computer and sound library to used
- which analog synth to use to produce basses and fat sounds
- which sidechain compressor and bitcrusher to use
- which additional sound libraries to include
- which other synths and effects to use
I am very interested...
Thank you!
