Arranging A Techno Track

This is a simple track with a simple structure, but I think it's enough to understand how I arrange my tracks :)

I've said it once, and I'll say it again - JESUS CHRIST YAN THAT IS SOME QUALITY CONTENT RIGHT HERE.

[@pixelscientist9449]

I second that. :)

[@oraycolak9653]

Life moves pretty fast! If you don't stop and look once in a while, you will miss it

[@gunnerjace8627]

You probably dont give a shit but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot my login password. I would love any help you can give me

[@gunnerjace8627]

@Elias Bobby thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@gunnerjace8627]

@Elias Bobby It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much, you saved my account :D

[@djoverkin]

This is where most of us get stuck I assume

[@Gruftgrabbler]

I stuck the most at mixing. Arranging is okay since I start most of my tracks with the drop and the breakdown

[@diegocarvajal3549]

true

[@joyusachoobarb]

You get stuck at this part? This the fun part, the actual mixing is where shit gets hard

[@benearle271]

@@joyusachoobarb Yeah, the mixdown can be hell. Arrangement is fun as you have the core loop down and you don't have to worry about the mix too much. It's a nice sweet spot to be in where you can just play, and for someone link me who is mostly in the box, you get to tweak some knobs!

[@GARCIIIAmonster]

exactly

[@johndamalulikali]

Our boy Yan Cook comin through with these extremely high-quality tutorials.

[@blork111]

I'm here with my notepad taking more notes than I ever took in college. Once again, cheers Yan

[@Links...]

you always choose exactly what I need at the moment with the subject of the video

[@simaoski5560]

we are now witnessing the future of ableton tutorials

[@mmik8643]

That video shows very well how we are complicating things unnecessarily.

[@Jack-kf9wd]

So appreciative of these videos man. A whole load of people who wouldn't produce or would be intimidated to do so may start making techno and beyond cause of these. Thank you

[@ndr_924]

I’m never going to get tired of entering these videos to say how amazing they are ❤️ Thanks for sharing your process Yan, so organized, insightful, clean and cool af 👏🏻✌🏼

[@iansmit6128]

I really appreciate youre stuff yan! I watch all youre video's and they are really helpfull even as a beginning producer. Keep them coming mister cook!

[@juba868]

I just discovered your channel and I can't thank you enough. After watching all your vids I have learned so much. You literally unlocked worlds of techno possibilities for me.

[@StunnedByWrestling]

Reassuring to me that I've basically been following this formula in the music I've been making subconsciously. Thanks for the tutorial, subscribed

[@MrMegaSuperBoy]

yeah I also did it just like that and was wondering if I'm on the right track

[@pabstkkx]

You are one of my absolute favorite producers. Thank you so much for teaching us how to create quality music

[@ThomasSolom]

Incredible!!! Simple and efficient. Again, thank you for that! 🙏

[@macpaz]

This youtube channel is insane. The editing is so minimalistic yet effective. Easy sub. Thank you.

[@3VLN]

the way you simplified all this . . . Genius. Thank you.

[@amberdean1263]

Arrangement is where I've been stuck for a long time. I can't thank you enough for sharing this.

[@AnalogKitchen]

I like how you approach it from a hands on perspective. Yeah this works.

[@brookewhatnall]

Thank you for these incredible tutorials! I started mixing and focusing on techno properly after a few visits to Berlin, and wanting that music back home in NZ, where it's rare to have darker hypnotic techno. I'm getting the production bug and finally having it feel achievable and understandable thanks mainly to how fucking awesome your tutorials are!!

[@CMON75]

I love this idea of "sculpting", thank you for the lesson and inspiration!

[@jayduby]

the fact you have under 100k subs is beyond surprising. thank you so much for this content!

[@vso7817]

Much appreciated Yan! Always bringing valuable content that we can actually use.

[@ricov2374]

The sculpting is brilliant. Many, many thanks for that ❤️

[@Shiosama]

Man, after watching two of your dub techno pattern vids, skimming and skipping some parts to get a quick grasp and watch this vid later at some point, I have to say, you're making this dub techno stuff pretty look way easier than I thought, coupled with a couple other channels I've been following. Zero music theory, barely any mixing, yet I'm making dub techno, slowly, like it's nothing. Definitely gonna be kicking that sub button

[@themanefaces]

Yan, your videos are gold. So is your music!

[@mcod99]

this really helps understanding phrasing for djing, i now understand the structure of a track so hopefully this helps with my mixing

[@tmn141]

My fav KZbin channel right now, great content 👍

[@stevenflynnmusic]

Brilliant tutorials Yan, Ive been using Acid pro for years and have just switched over to ableton recently, out of the many tutorials that ive watched yours have stood out the most, You have made what seems like a lot of hard tasks become so much easier with your quality production skills shining through in your videos. Your workflow alone is superb to me but this current video has given me the tools to move forward. Thanks man. Yours in Techno Flynn.

[@ulymarins]

Yan, you are sharing extremely good quality content. Thanks so much for that!

[@carlotauro44]

This information is gold. Thanks for sharing along with an amazing tutorial

[@benearle271]

Great video Yan! Hopefully it will prove to those that struggle with structure that it is not rocket science! I see so many people get stuck on arrangement (I used to be one of them), but you show very clearly how it's actually quite simple. In fact, I use to use your tracks as my reference tracks and it helped me realise this for myself and help my track structure a lot!

[@recovered_file]

Each of your tips are precious. This method works very well. Thank you so much !

[@underratedunity1528]

Huge fan and glad to find you have a KZbin channel - wow, great style of videos!!

ARTMATH BEAUTY!

[@dlopezch7204]

Its ya boy Yan!

[@inchone6486]

nice...simple the best

[@dijei_fullfine]

I prefer to extend the clips and use and automatisation with the mute of an utility to preserve the same clip and if I change something in the pattern the change will be done in all the song

[@nathanielramos3129]

Thanks for the video man. Been a fan since I heard Testpilot drop Pauk at E-forest a few years ago.

[@ronduremusic5972]

This was very helpful ... I have been struggling to find nice percussion sounds for techno. Would you have any reconditions for finding some clean sounds or do you make them yourself and do your own samples for your hats and what not?

[@mrptails]

Brilliant tutorial man. Simples 🙂🤷‍♂️

[@thibaultclavel4131]

You just taught me techno. Thanks.

[@tpedits29]
