The pieces generally have a very bright mood, even with a minor key. Trance music is always very lively. The genre is called "trance" because it is supposed to make you feel like you're in a state of hypnosis or suspended consciousness, almost like you are up in the clouds.

Most pieces will introduce a new instrument every 4 or 8 bars, with either a gradual fade in (like the supersaw) or an immediate entry (elements of the drum kit). The break and drop have the fullest textures, the break especially including almost every single instrument in the song.

Often the chords in trance will be big and played by the detuned supersaw which in turn adds extra voices, filling out the sound. Chord structures are often very simple and blocky, and often inverted to change the feel of the chords. The tonality is almost exclusively minor, with the exception being the sub-genres "ethereal" and "uplifting" which has a much happier feel to it.

Often the instrument playing the lead will have very heavy reverb to increase the size of the sound; sidechain is used to separate the different elements of the track so that the impact of the instruments do not clash, and the sounds can be heard more individually and more clearly.

The drum beat is very robotic in its form, with parts of the kit being placed on beats or off-beats with very few irregular pieces of syncopation.

All trance tracks are in 4/4 to give them the dance quality similar to the likes of house. The tempo can vary from 125 (more progressive) to around 150 (aggressive/hardstyle).

The main lead synth is generally detuned (7/8 voices) to create a bigger sound and the pattern is gated to give variations in rhythm and volume. This is referred to as a "supersaw" due to the nature of the sound.

The drum pattern has to be solid throughout the piece, with few variations. Lots of the elements of the drums are on the beat, and this is essential for the kick.

One important part of the trance style is the synth chords. The sound has to be big and detuned to provide a bigger, more ethereal sound. These synths are found in virtually every single trance track ever made.
