Hi everyone,
Firstly - I’m new to the forum and have been producing music for almost 3 years now. Only recently have I become interested in creating complextro/house music, however, i’m finding it hard to get to grips with the famous ‘Ryan Enzed’ method that everybody is talking about.
So, my question is: does anybody go about creating a complextro loop differently, and if so: how the hell do you do it ?
Cheers,
Elle.
I have a lot of complextro projects that i do not think they are ready (lack of melody i think and proper alignment in the mix ).
What I always do , make a bunch of presets , fit them in the same freq spectrum then group them , put a small side-chain on the group and probably some different effects . Then I just have to pitch shift , re-sample , beat repeat , arrange notes , basically that’s all I do .
That’s not really my style of music so maybe my way is a bit weird
Whats the ryan enzed method? could you give a link to the version of it you like?
when i do complextro i make the rhythm first, then accent the rhythm with sounds that have different spectrum content, like a highpass sound alternating with a bassy sound accents the rhythm differently than two sounds with similar frequency content. Also lots of arpeggios and quick riffs thrown into the crazyness makes it seem more crazy when its really not. imo
Cheers for the tips.
Ryan can be found at http://www.youtube.com/user/nzmusic101
and as an example, this would be the ‘method’ that he uses:

Maybe I was a little too vague in my previous post - persistence seems to be the key aspect in producing this particular style of music.
Cool video,
Since it is so rhythmic what if you try to treat the whole process like writing drums, just a longer almost drum break type loop. Might make it simpler to think about, like one sound is more like a hat so throw this with a subby sound etc.
And if you watch the Frequency spectrum of the best complextro songs its really entertaining, like watching one of those music background things, It usually looks like its dancing, especially if u take the kick off its view.
So maybe the more u make your spectrum “dance” the better?
Id still really like to know how to get the hard grindy sound and how to make complextro in Ableton. That growly baseline like Zomboy or Darth & Vader etc. I noticed they added a Gigi video but is in pro-tools and I think enzed is in Reason right?
Id really like to figure out how its all pieced together and laid out
something like this SoundCloud - Hear the world’s sounds
Errr doesn’t Ryan have a YouTube with countless tutorials on how he does his stuff and make his sounds etc? Also doesn’t he have a forum discussing all things music production??
