How to Make Raw Hypnotic Techno Part 1 (Sound Design / Composition) [Ableton Techno Tutorial]

[@DavidBoura]

I'm gonna send more superlatives by saying i've been EATING KZbin tutorials since 2008, and your Live only Techno channel is Nobel Prize Top Notch 5 stars.

[@audioreakt]

haha happy to hear that, that made my day ! cheers !

[@dubraja6469]

What you're doing is amazing. A lot of tutorials on youtube cut corners or gatekeep certain things. But watching you produce from scratch helps with sound design, arrangement and a lot of other post production stuff. You're a great teacher. Keep it up mate..

[@audioreakt]

thanks a lot, I appreciate !

[@GinoPietermaai1999]

I have always been grateful for people who share their knowledge. This channel is a gem. Thank you so much dude! Greetings from Amsterdam.

[@audioreakt]

My pleasure! glad you are enjoying !

[@ThomasSlen]

YES finally something in this style. Mord and SK_Eleven are some of my top labels ❤

[@audioreakt]

same here !

[@RockstahRolln]

Chris Liebing plays a lot of tracks in this style! I absolutely love it!

[@sonicindustries227]

Fantastic Paul. That pitch effect really added some uniqueness

[@audioreakt]

Thanks!

[@blondeboyprod.2741]

Amazing! Could you please do a video about how to do those dissonant synth-pads/chords with slow attack? Thanks!

[@audioreakt]

I breakdown all the sound in the video and if I use a rack, the rack breakdown video is listed in the description

Super nice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@audioreakt]

thanks !

[@SteveOrton-p9v]

Great video, once again : ) I love how you acknowledge experimentation in your process, très cool

[@audioreakt]

Thanks, its all about that, the hardest/best is finding the right balanced between experimenting but also not always experimenting to be able to get the track move forward...

[@Yaamaari]

Will there be more videos about how to make those sounds (or a whole track) from scratch?

[@audioreakt]

Like a raw techno track from scratch?

That's absolutely amazing, great work and thank you for showing how you work! One question - how do you manage to not have the whole mix drown in mud from all the reverb and delays from the individual sounds (besides sidechaining)? I always try to use as little reverb and delay as insert fx as possible. Usually I use 4 send fx (2 reverbs, one short and one long and 2 delays with different but fitting rhytms) with ms eq and side chain and only use those to create a coherent mix within the stereo field. When I first started I used reverbs and delays as inserts on every sound and my mixes were always muddy as hell, elements disappeared, weird stuff happened. They never worked in a club, my mixes weren't clean enough and sounded shitty How do you manage to create such a thick atmosphere instead of mud and nasty artefacts? Thanks mate!

[@audioreakt]

Sorry for the basic answer but it’s about balance, small decay for reverb, small feedback for delay, and small dry/wet amount, then sound selection is important, making sure each element you put together have each their space in terms of of frequency (like avoid two synth that cover the same frequency range). You have exceptions ofc, don’t take this advice too seriously but often you can reduce a bit of reverb amount or reverb decay here and there, maybe cut some frequency here and there, little adjustments everywhere

[@dorianscheerlinck8887]

Amazing

[@audioreakt]

thank you !

[@jaxx29649]

Great video. I really enjoyed it, informative and helpful! I do think the kick is lacking, there is some problem there with the transient, didn't like that part so much. not so tight.. but okay, perhaps a style choice.

[@audioreakt]

thanks, I think I know what you mean, it lack punch and raw. that was intended I really wanted a kick that is close to a 808 but not as round, more like a kick in between a 808 and 909, more like something round like a 808 but also that get a bit of the punch of a 909...hard to explain but it's always hard to balanced and usually you cannot get something round and super punchy in the same time you always have to choose one or the other

[@djsym9098]

Great video, so inspirational! Any chance we can have that Rizer effect device? Seems quite interesting

[@joshua101291]

Greeaaaaat video bro, it helps me a lot!❤ is the molecular arp only on live 12? I dont have it at live 11😔🤙

[@audioreakt]

thanks, no actually it's from a paid pack from ableton called Punch & Tilt, my fault I thought it was from the core library...

[@vvvvvv77710]

is that High Pass filtering on Kick at 1:47 always necessary? I see it in every producing tutorial people using it, but I also see every producer channel warn that doing steep slope cuts on Ableton EQ Eight creates phase issues and artifacts in the low end. So now I don't know when to use it and when not to

[@audioreakt]

I do that for sound design purpose, I don't do it all the time but sometime yes because sometimes it make the kick tighter but also just simply better. I don't do that as mixing purpose to cut the low end or what ever.. now about phase and everything, use your ear before anything else...if it's sound good, I don't care it alter the phase bring artefact, if for me it sounds good, it's good. now if I do that and werid thing happen yes maybe it's a problem.. in a nutshell, don't try to fix something that is not broken...

[@vvvvvv77710]

@@audioreakt good mindset to approach, thanks for your response

[@diossamusic]

Amazing video thank you! Is the kick from one of your packs? If so which one pleaseee

[@audioreakt]

yes from this pack :audioreakt.com/collections/samples/products/solid-techno-kick-02 it'a a sample pack just with kick (and rumble) for raw techno, you can have a listen on the website cheers

[@yukibrad6853]

Great video! It seems I don't have the "molecular arp" preset. Could you tell me which pack is it in?

[@audioreakt]

Thanks, yeah actually it's from a pack from Ableton website called Punch and Tilt, it's a paid pack unfortunately

[@Sh4DoW27]

Which pack should I buy to get these samples? Raw 1 or 2?

[@audioreakt]

Raw techno 2 samples but both will fit anyway it’s the same style

[@jimmy2mac]

Hey love your videos!!! Out of interest what's your spec on your Mac? I'm away to but a new Max Studio but not sure if it might be over kill

[@audioreakt]

I got a mac studio m2 max 64gb but it's overkill for music production, i bought it because I edit video and this is a beast to edit 4k videos...check online but i think even the M1 is overkill if you just do music production
