Stick to the pack’s basslines and drum one shots to get your track rolling with a solid foundation and then develop it further either inside Geist itself or by working in your DAW’s piano roll with the VST synth of your choice (I favor Dune 3 VST for my trance tracks) to create unique melodies that can’t be found anywhere else.Ħ. Geist Expander: Trance contains ready to use basslines and punchy kick drums which are perfectly adequate to kick start your next trance track but I always struggle to find a use for pre-cooked trance melodies and riffs from sample packs as I believe it’s your own unique melodies, hooks and leads that are essential to crafting a trance track that can stand out from the crowd. The breakbeat samples and rhythmic loops boast plenty of authentic vibe and can be quickly sliced up in Geist 1 and 2 to taste plus you get crunchy drum hits galore with which to create your own unique breakbeats from scratch. Geist Expander: Acoustic Breakbeat is a collection of over 200 royalty free samples including vinyl-crackled breakbeats and single hits. ( Want to make Techno without a computer?

Get the sounds of vintage 80s hip hop gear in your tracks with this collection of classic ‘80s drum machine samples and sounds inspired by the sound of early hip hop production. Best Geist 2 Expander for classic hip hop drum machine sounds: Geist 2 as a piece of software is still out there however, in DAWs around the world, and if you’re looking for extensions (or “Expanders”) you can still purchase them from the FXpansion store so let’s check out ten of the best: 1.
