Actually I am not a fan off any of those genre titles but hey your reading this 
I and my partner in crime were just chatting and we decided that it was time for us Techno heads to fight our corner and say gawd damn it its time we had a proper techno tutorial
Now I would be the first to admit the difficulty of this as Techno is more about breaking the boundaries and creating something new – but how about a set of techniques for example how to create a Ben Klock kick, how to keep percussion loops fresh as illustrated in practically every minimal track out there. And How to nail low gliding subby basslines with abstract sounds providing the hooks.
The Techno sound is a lot more open & groove based than before. There should be an update to the ground covered in the earlier Tuts.
All Genres - Minimal, Techno, House, Tech House & even a little bit of Prog are cross pollinating one another… and it would be useful to find out more about the programming of Midi for Perc, Hats & Basslines, as well as the FX and settings that make up the modern Tech Sound.
So for all the techno heads here since the other Techno thread is actually dead, we thought that we could have our own little corner here to help each other out and post tracks we think are interesting enough to have a tutorial or even one of us can try helping each other
And to kick it off just for the fun of it a legend in own life time

Minimal / Techno / Tech House Production Thread.

I’ll support this as I’m a techno head but we have recently had a tutorial and it was hard enough getting that one done, so I can’t see anything happening soon.
Although we might be able to push for some “get that sound” tuts!
Great Idea! LOL 
Know what - I think we should have 1 rule for this Thread.
That there should be a cut-off point in terms of the music.
Last 5 years?Â
If anyone disagrees, thats cool… post whatever ye think -  but myself personally, I’d like to get an insight into the stuff we’re hearing now. Even stuff with older influences has a modern production feel to it.
The last Techno Tut was cool… but we need to advance it a bit into where its going into the next decade 
Thats why I’ll be checking & including the release date on everything that I post.

Cool any suggestions in the way of tunes ?
I’ve posted this before. Format B RMX of Florian Meindl’s Blast From 2009ish… I think.
Just running out the door & its the 1st thing I thought of - especially for the synth riser that is actually the main hook of the tune.
Would love to see something that covers how to “play” a sound like that.
Will post more stuff later
C’mon Egg2! LINKS PLEASE!! :hehe:

Hey Mussi - That track of yours [url]http://soundcloud.com/musselwhite/diazolymer[/url] is really cool.
I know what you mean about minimal… Theres a lot of rubbish out there in every genre, but I suppose things have changed a bit in the last few years… Stuff can still be driving, but its trying to understand the Techniques that are pushing the sound & keeping Techno alive.
Best example of this has to be Beyer. He was doing the relentless loop stuff for how long, then changed his spots seemingly overnight. Love that Hard Minimal sound.

Even from an arrangement POV - getting all these different variations & putting them all together that you are constantly being hit by something new.
(My Laptop wont let me get onto the forums… my sub is up today… Miserable - wonder when these codes are out? )
i’m all up for another techo tutorial but i dont really have any suggestions, i quite like this:
not sure what to describe it as tho

Thats really good. Sounds SO Border Community. Could totally imagine Fake or Holden playing (or Making) that. Really interesting how its the same “Groove” all the way through, but keeps evolving. Would be a really good tune to rip apart in your DAW to see the arrangement.

thanks about my track, not many people like it on here as they want the minimal sound.
i used to listen and but a lot of beyer then when he moved to minimal 05ish i stopped listening to him. he did a fabriclive cd and it was minimal, i was like, what the f*** is this sh** and only listened to once. then a year ago or so i put the cd in my car a couldnt believe how good it was! i appreciate that sound much more now

Thats the sound of the apocalypse right there!
Hear the voice rising up at the end. Lord… say that track is a beast.
All those Berghain style tracks are just real raw… their transitions sometimes are almost like mixes within the tracks themselves. Speedy J is a legend at that. Love the way his tracks progress & evolve. He almost starts fading something in over 4 or 6 bars, then on the last 2 or so, starts bringing in a new element.
