In this video, I go over how I would teach you how to create modern techno. It's all about building your layers and having fun with a jam session. Eventually, you will do this enough to have an idea you can pursue into an entire arrangement. Utilizing Paradox Vol 4, I show you some cool things you can do to set up something that will inspire you to create.

He literally made a whole track in 20 mins. this is crazy. I love this vocoder trick on closed hats and overdrive on open hats. never heard, never tried. your videos never disapoint. and always a good track playing or if you dont have a track you make it from scratch anyways :lol . best electronic music teacher . thank you ZEN

[@digicat247]

Over the last years I moved into a mostly hardware music setup, while still recording into, mixing, and mastering in Ableton. The settings being used can be translated over to hardware. Your videos have had a profound impact on how impact on how i'm sequencing and designing my sound. Thanks for the work on these videos.

[@OzgunOfficial]

[@cekirdekci32]

[@supersmileyclub544]

Zen, I've been into house, techno, electronic music for almost 40 years. I've been playing with ableton for a couple few years. Got shitloads of unfinished music that I'm never 100% happy with. One day man, I want to make a classic. Anyway, been watching your tutes for a couple of years, love your energy, this video I think was your best yet. Will try to follow along and make something at the weekend, thanks for doing what you do. Nice One!!!

[@bassyjay6281]

Nice work zen, do you like have tracks out there that people buy?? If not you deffo should man, true talent!! Thanks for all the help fella x

[@ArtEntity]

this is the best tutorial ever. u showed us how to do everything like the pros.

[@joshuagomez8471]

I love the video, great tips. Can you make a video showing how to make piano chords like in "In The Yuma by Chris Lake"? Like how to have different drops with chord like in the track.

[@ImDino]

Yo you've lost some weight, you look good! Just came back looking for an old stream of you roasting my track 3-4 years ago lol.

[@ZenWorld]

Thanks bro I quit drinking and am becoming the best version of myself!

[@DJamal1803]

IT's not your EGOOOO main YOU R really GREAT SOUND DESIGNERR your should be proud of it

[@Rainer01]

🎉🎉🎉

[@lmaodarius]

lmao i think my favorite thing is when u come up with your own vocal fills 😂 " exploration of the mind "

[@nedas4651]

Would be sick if you did a tutorial on hard techno screaming leeds which you can hear in nearly every hard techno track.

[@DJamal1803]

I watch sooooo many KZbin videos about Modern Techno and moments about kicks make me cry cause EVERYBODY MAKE LAYERs Fuicking LAYER those peoples are crazy I have 5 kicks where I get layer fucking crazy guys BUT yoU REALLLYYYY clever man Parallel chains BELISIIMO GENIUS deicison I HATE LAYERING KICKS I was to close before watched your video I made one parallel chain with SATURATION or Overdireve but your Decision is perfect LOVE U my BRO

[@AhRosses]

Noob question te audio effect rack on ableton are the same on fl studio as like the mixer part?¡ im confuse with that

[@RAM_845]

Just like in FL Studio, using the Layer feature, and setting multiple children.

[@LedgerLiner]

Big fire bro u got so good compared to 2015 lmao

[@sachabiolley1599]

What is the exact name of this ozone plug in that you use as fake master ?

[@rebirth4119]

Don't know if you'll see this Zen, but I had a question regarding sidechaining sub to drums. I noticed you and certain other producers don't fully sidechain the sub bass to where it becomes fully quiet when the sub portion of the kick is playing. Is this completely fine and there's no phase issues by doing it? I'm just curious because I'm wondering if I'm overthinking sidechain and all 😅.

[@ardabinay8311]

Watch baphometrixs video Deep Dive Into Kick-Sub Phase Alignment & Ducking. This will clear your mind.

[@Marlinchar]

can anyone tell me which software is he using ?

[@VladyslavKL]

🕊

[@leonylias]

Are you going to announce the giveaway winner for last week’s video?

[@ZenWorld]

Yes end of week on the video

[@ShowPlusCo]

Eres un perro ❤

[@generalninja2768]

What app are you using to make these tracks?

[@ZenWorld]

Ableton Suite and Paradox Vol 4 pack

[@obiwantschernobyl5650]

HUUUUIIISSSCHHHHHHHHHHHH

[@ZenWorld]

OBI WANNNN

[@nicolassavas1695]

I think its fine but Modern Techno has more sub frequencies and this loop idea doesnt sound round and have enough bass. I mean the idea is ok but the lowend has a lot more complexity in my opinion it needs more layering.

[@alexdinel1271]

I feel you on this. Without throwing to much hate Zens way cause he is very good for the scene and upcoming producers, I feel these videos are deceiving because they lack depth. Ppl need to be aware of those who are trying to sell packs and those who are actually teaching the fundamentals and techniques used to achieve a real master ready track.

[@ArtEntity]

if u listen to the new 2023 ultra sets it’s just like this. I thought it was more tech house than techno but idk the difference anymore

[@MKNZ.]

hol up 8:51

[@thejayce]

Shit got dark real fast 😅

[@OtoAsubi]

When dubstep

[@danielstoicamusic]

Your name is not Zen World. Busted!

[@dxtrs_mnpltr]

CLICK BAIT TO DA MAX

[@psypher19111911]

Taking sound advice from a guy that overcompress his microphone so much, that you can hardly bare to listen to what he says!? 🤷‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@ZenWorld]

It makes sense no? I'm an electronic music producer makings beeps and boops I don't use vocals often hehe

[@psypher19111911]

@@ZenWorld I have seen a couple of your other videos and I didn't think of it then, so maybe you have recorded with wrong settings or changed settings? These "vocals" are pumping, and that ain't good in this context - stressing to listen to over time. 👍😉
