I’ve never really considered trying to produce techno before, but after watching your tutorials, I’m inspired to give it a go. You have a gift, being able to get across the techniques and, more importantly, the ‘why’ behind them so clearly and concisely. Excellent tutorial, thank you.

[@egoxploit]

the same happened to me, i haven't produced any techno since 2016 and after watching this tutorials im inspired again to go back to techno, very, very cool.

[@user-vd3if4wq6m]

trick is, LEVEL! if youve never made Techno ...maybe you havnt lived it??? im assuming. So my suggestion to 'understand' would be to approach it like a techno/house producer. Start with your KICK library....preview til one 'Feels' right...4/4 Pattern....Monitor at a decent level so you can Feel it (at least in the beginning. No rules , Play , build build build, play (delay/verb etc), build , play, rinse repeat. ....a big step is to step away, forget what you made (20min or so) then come back with a pad of paper / critical listen / refine .....house and techno is a feeling more so than many others. Ride it

As mentioned before: "not many people cover this type of techno". And it's a brilliant tutorial! Parallel processing explained how it should be. Btw, it's a very good chain, no lame stuff.

[@OscarUnderdog]

Yessss, glad it resonates!

[@allyouracid]

Yep, great for beginners and advanced. I'm barely using Ableton Live (mainly doing DAWless) and these videos are so useful to me.

[@josephwright5140]

I wanna add another tip to this as I naturally do a lot of this already having not seen this video before. 1, in each of your respective bandwidths channels, use different delay times. 2, automate the %of offset on either or both sides delay times to create basically more bricks in the wall of sound. Also it helps your tracks feel like they're going somewhere. 3, I've found a plug-in called washed out under performance and dj effects. It's great and you should use it on a send track that all your bandwidths should be sent to other than the lows. Then automate the effect amount around the kick and its very smeared.

[@BaddBadger]

Nice addition to the topic there. All i've used that Washed Out effect for until now is creating an ambient fade out when editing my live jams. Your suggestion sounds like a far better use for it. Cheers.

[@skriptico]

that RS logo as backdrop is perfect for Oscar. it was one of my fav firm back in the early 90ies, still it is today. Grande Oscar the Underdog, great musician and teacher, and that is not an evryday thing. I have you and aynil as the absolute best two. keep it coming all day long fratello!

I'm really enjoying you production tips Oscar. I was wondering if you thought the Paula Temple track had the kick sent off to a return with some side chained techno reverb added to the kick group as well. Her track has the hugeness that reverb brings to my ears. Great work man keep it up.

[@OscarUnderdog]

Great intuition! I recall seeing a Paula Temple masterclass at a conference a long time ago, and her Ableton template did have a huge number of return channels with creative reverb routings all over. I didn't fully understand it at the time, but I think that might match what you're thinking!

[@shalloweffectfeld9928]

@@OscarUnderdog I like to make this broken beat Techno and like to add some reverb in the too to give it that weight a bit of sub from operator too to give it some sub frequency weight in between the delays or infill kicks.

I really have to subscribe, because I think it is the first video where someone faces and shows the techno "OFF beat" or so I call it. Great exponents of genre are Regis, loktibrada, Rumeniege, Chris Mccomark, The 65d Mavericks, Mulero etc. It would be nice if you address more about "proper" techno.

[@OscarUnderdog]

Yes, love the names you mentioned 🤗 I'm allergic to the word "proper" though 😂 can mean so many things to so many people, and risks being a bit of a gatekeeping thing IMO. What is "proper" in your context?

[@andres.giacomini]

@@OscarUnderdog When I speak of adequate, it is that it maintains an identity, where they are not molds or like the new music, something so clinical that sometimes it loses its identity (Drumcode in its beginnings was great, and for 10 or more that it is no longer in my opinion) . Drexciya was always very minimalist just like Rob Hood and they are Timeless, that's what I mean by Adequate. That they do not lose their essence, Oscar Mulero is a great example, at the top of the scene for years and always with an identity.
