i think that techno is harder to make than trance... the key to trance is in the melody. if u can create a tune with a fantastic melody then most people don't even think to give the hi-hats much thought.. with the exception of a few, who are more on the tech-trance side though!

the key to techno is everything, the kick has to work with the bassline, the bassline has to work with the percussion, its one big circle that goes round and round!

i do think that techno producers have it easier than trance in a sense though.....if your a techno producer and u make a dodgy tune its considered as 'experimental', if your a trance producer and u make a dodgy tune its considered the biggest cheese on the planet!!


just my thoughts
