Is there some sort of a formula for writing those generic semi-catchy trance leads, because EVERYONE seems to be able to write them with moderate ease.
Thanks

Not that I know of, but I do recall a thread about "catchyness" and how a song is more catchy if you can easily hum/sing/recognise the tune, maybe that's what you should be aiming towards?

I'm pretty sure @ KVR it's called Tarnce.

didn't we vote that as one of the jokes that'd been used too much?

also you may want to change the title to is there a trance lead formula, I thought I'd be getting the formula ftw =]

Play out some chords that sound nice with a pad or string. Swap it out for your trance lead. Chop it up into a gated design using notes with a length of 12 and 36 or 20 and 44 so it is more gated than using a full note. Chords are key.
