How To Make - Dark Room Techno with Kirk Degiorgio / 550

Wow man! Love the sound and the lessons. Hope to see you doning more tutorials :slight_smile:

Excellent course, lots of tips and tricks!

Really enjoyed the course, Kirk is The Don! More of the melodic A.R…T. techno next please!

can you please tell which Maschine do i need to buy in order to get the same plugin that you used in third tutorial? There is a list of Maschine products on NI website and most of them seems a hardware and are very expensive - https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/maschine/

Thanks.

Great course, very well explained.

It would be awesome if you could provide us with the original SINEBEATS.ENS for NI REAKTOR in the course ressources.

Even in the REAKTOR LEGACY archive from NI Reaktor Ensembles : NI : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive
you only find the 2.0 / 2.1 and PLUS versions…

Found Sinebeats.ens ( original from NI-Reaktor 3 Library ) !!
Though you can find many “oldies” Reaktor ensembles via the archive.org I mentioned in my previous comment, the original used in the track might be already almost installed on your MAC or PC.
I have tested this on MAC with a full installation of NI-REAKTOR 6
If you browse through your Reaktor 6 Factory Library folder, you should find a .ZIP archive called “Legacy Library”.
Just unzip it and browse the new folder to :
Legacy Library/Legacy Library Reaktor 3/Premium/Synths-Sequenced/ and in there you’ll find the original SineBeats.ens
Hope that helps !!

Upddate : Just uploaded the complete NI-Reaktor Legacy Library (195 MB) via DropBox, let me know if you have problem with the link but you should be able to download it at :

Copy this archive and unzip it in your “Native Instruments/Reaktor Factory Library” folder.

Is that the original Sinebeats. I found the Sinebeats 2 in Legacy libraries. I need to check my Reaktor content properly .
Thanks @Tekalight

@Keon1
Yes, in the Dropbox upload it’s the original sineBeats.ens ( the one working with snapshots and with a more simple but clearest GUI interface. That was in my Reaktor Factory Library from Reaktor 6 installation via Native Access and checking the version of Reaktor Factory Library via the oldest NI SERVICE CENTER, it says version 1.1.0

I messaged you about it, but you’ll have to carry on the comments on the forum page to access your message,
well you probably know that :blush:

Really enjoyed this course, I’ve always struggled with that big bass sound in this kind of techno. thanks for sharing your techniques.

what is the point of going into Maschine for each part?

Really cool stuff :wink:

He turns the master fader down? Is that not something the master engineer definitely does not want you to do? You need to achieve around -6dbs of space with it at zero

Great tutorial, I enjoyed it :slight_smile: Thanks!

great course!

Really helps one to watch an insider’s step by step construction of a whole piece that can easily be applied to one’s own work, and thankfully there are more in-the-box ways to approximate the thousand dollars of plugins used here.

Great tips and walkthrough. Lots of learning. That said, by the end we were quite far away this being ‘dark’ techno…

Interesting, spoke too soon — one the sounds went into arrangement, the groove didn’t feel “too happy” anymore and the darkness (or seriousness as I call it), came back. Good lesson on how much the same sounds can deliver a different message depending on the arrangement story you end up telling…

This is a good course of techno music!!! :slight_smile:

Love this tutorial, but the bass rumble is a key part and he already has a kick drum that has the rumble on it and then layers a couple of kicks on top of it. Any suggestions on how to actually make that rumble?

is there any real alternative for numerologyVST, that works on windows? great tutorial btw
