BEGINNERS TIPS FOR MAKING HARD TECHNO WITH FL STUDIO

#MARKUSWEIGELT #TECHNO #TUTORIAL
Hey guys, this video starts a new series in which we will cover some of the basic Hard Techno Stuff with FL Studio. There are so many tutorials for Ableton but not so many for FL Studio 21 so I thought let's do it. The next video will contain a guide for the lowend or a whole track I think.
Tracks in the video used:
Sebastian Groth & Markus Weigelt - Midnight Resistance (Out On Rewasted)
Pappenheimer & Markus Weigelt - Ion Storm (Out On Abfahrt Records)
Hope you enjoy
Cheers!

As someone, who wants to become a Techo DJ, own Music production is definetly something, that is beneficiary. Thanks for the free Video Content and the insight into how it could look like.

[@salviohexia7348]

[@samedome8949]

Useful even for a non-beginner producer!

[@MarkusWeigeltDE]

Thanks mate!

[@theawesometrollercat]

It has been 2 years since my interest in hard techno production started. Your content is basically the best for this genre specifically since you are really talented artist with your unique sound. I just found out I added your songs to my playlist almost a year ago but I just found your youtube channel. Keep up the amazing work please you don’t know how much these videos help out ❤️❤️

[@theawesometrollercat]

The fact he shows Ion Storm project is mind blowing woww thanks for sharing! Such a boss move you got aura for sure Mr.Markus

[@amigazo3972]

Markus. I appreciate you have made this tutorial for hard techno beginners producers. I am trying to get the point but it is complicated, I am coming for doing more kind of Big Room, and now I want to start with HT since has become my passion. Your tips are really interesting. Please don't stop making videos tutorials, nice to learn from you since I am a fan of your productions.

[@JordanHourGlassDJ]

Awesome! Extremely helpful! Step by step, no nonsense! Maybe add the flp for us beginners to practice with? Thank you Sir 😊 🇺🇸 🇩🇪 🍻

[@MarkusWeigeltDE]

Oh yeah good idea I will check that out! Thanks mate!

[@louispoglens609]

I very like the videos because there is just a few Hard Techno Producers out there using FL STUDIO AS DAW so i'm glad to see a big name like you Mr. Markus do such videos and i have a request if please u do a HARD TECHNO KICK & BASS TUTORIALS COVERING HOW YOU CREATE, LAYER & PROCESS KICKS AND BASS AND COVERING THE WHOLE LOW END EVEN KICK AND BASS BUS , THX AGAIN AND WAITING FOR NEW VIDEOS (SPECIAL REQUEST THOSE HARD HAMMERING TECHNO KICKS TUTORIAL)

[@MarkusWeigeltDE]

Low End video 100% coming in the future, mate! Thanks!!!

[@kazakman7772]

it is tough to listen with ai generated voice

[@Flux_One]

Yeah sounds weird

[@NiceUndCute]

But the vid is informative

[@MarkusWeigeltDE]

Sorry mate, I'll figure something out for the next video!

ist really not stop whining

[@D-J-1-1-1]

I switch to edm music last month and be hard tech raving for 3 THIS IS DOPE AF!

[@Natharsus]

Thank you for spreading your knowledge! I've been producing music for about 4 years and I've only gotten into Techno/Hard Techno as of the last year, and even with my prior production knowledge from producing other genres, figuring out how to produce hard techno has been exceptionally difficult. Looking forward to seeing more from you!

[@KingSpinSkemmaddix]

Thank you for sharing. It is very helpful for those that don't have anyone to sit down and show them the way in person :)

[@MichaelGalster]

Danke dafür. Hast aufjedenfall hier auf KZbin mehr Aufmerksamkeit verdient!

[@MarkusWeigeltDE]

Danke dir, hoffe, man konnte dem Video was abgewinnen :)

[@adasevic2]

Great overview with some handy tips! If you are using templates it would be nice if you could go through how you have structure it and and how producers can make their own, adapting it to their own genre. It can be quite useful for having a smooth workflow etc.

[@MarkusWeigeltDE]

That's a pretty cool idea, cause I do have an own template that I made for Techno Music - I will keep that in mind for a future video!

[@TrippyMelo]

Mach bitte ein Video, in dem du einen kompletten Techno-Track produzierst. Ich bin wirklich gespannt, was die ersten Schritte sind, die ein erfahrener Produzent macht. Außerdem möchte ich wissen, wie du den Track mixt und weitere Details dazu.

[@MarkusWeigeltDE]

Kommt auf jeden Fall demnächst mit komplettem Workflow und allem :)

[@TheKantraxx]

Super interesting video! Would love to see more, maybe even some more advanced tips, especially on FL. Keep up the good work!

[@MarkusWeigeltDE]

Thanks mate! Next video is in the making! :)

[@Salim-kc5tl]

Great tips need more in future

[@NoobFLProducer]

Wow, this is helpful even for none beginner's haha, Thank you :)

[@MarkusWeigeltDE]

Thank you too mate:)

[@raoulduke7668]

nice pb ;D

[@Hugo-fs5os]

"Earthquake" ist einer der geilsten Tracks, die ich je gespielt habe...😶‍🌫, danke für das Video

[@MarkusWeigeltDE]

fetten Dank!

[@ProdADK]

Very informative video man, filled with gems! Although I'm missing the point of having 'headroom' because I feel like if you want a good hardhitting kick you really have to hardclip it multiple times so it's sitting at 0db, also at 13:57 your 1st mixer channel is even going above the threshold getting clipped in the master I suppose, Anyways I really liked the video It'd be amazing if you could make more in depth tutorials on different aspects like for example how the kick is processed!

[@MarkusWeigeltDE]

Hey man, yeah that's the approach I used to do before - But it's better to just use a Compressor or Limiter for your Low Group to glue everything together without any hardclipping. You are right the first channel is louder than -6db but this was after I did the mixdown. Normally I leave enough headroom:) Thanks for your words man!

[@thomnueman2029]

First FL tutorial that is usefull to me :)

[@beni092]

Sehr sehr nice! Respekt für das prof. Voiceover und die guten Erklärungen! Wozu FL Studio in der Lage ist.. dachte bei Beats für HipHop hörts auf :D

[@MarkusWeigeltDE]

Vielen vielen Dank! Ja, mich überrascht es auch immer wieder. Die meisten sagen ja, sobald man etwas tiefer gehen will, muss man zu Ableton wechseln. Der Meinung bin ich nach all den Jahren nicht, mit FL kann man viel geilen Kram anstellen! Und in dem Video habe ich nichtmal den Patcher erwähnt, mit dem man noch eigene Plugins basteln kann. Also da ist so viel drin.

[@Sp1n3c]

good sound man. The tracks are bangers

[@feierbock1337]

BÄM! Ich war der 1000ste Abonnent! 🎉 Schönes Video, danke für die wertvollen Tipps!

[@LahbibElMakhoukhi]

Please give us more content!!!!

[@MarkusWeigeltDE]

In the making, mate! :)

[@akao2406]

Kannst du mehr tutorials machen z.B wie man die kicks macht oder woher man die kriegt?LG aus NRW

Sehr geiles video! Vielen Dank dafür 🤘🫶

Zum Thema Kick Filtern: Ist dir auch aufgefallen, dass, wenn man einfach nur einem EQ auf die Kick packt, dieser EQ die Kick schon beeinflusst, selbst wenn noch keine einzige Änderung im EQ vorgenommen wurde? Ich mach es daher immer so, dass ich zwei Automationclips erstelle: Einen, der den EQ an/ausschaltet und einen der das Low-Cut Filterband aktiviert.

[@MarkusWeigeltDE]

Ja definitiv, kenne ich nur zu gut, die Problematik. Das lässt sich aber ganz einfach lösen. Im Parametric EQ 2 kannst du unten auf den "LIN" button klicken, der zu Linearem Phasing wechselt. Dann solltest du keinen Unterschied mehr hören. Das Problem liegt daran, dass die EQ's meist die Phasen verändern. Im Tieffrequenzbereich macht das einiges aus bei einer Kick. Die klingt dann hinterher komplett anders. Ich mache es aber auch immer so wie du, dass ich den Filter oder den EQ mit einer Volume Automation versehe und diese dann komplett ausschalte, wenn ich das Plugin nicht brauche. Gibt mir einfach das Gefühl von Sicherheit beim Produzieren, dass der Sound eben originalgetreu bleibt.

[@raoulduke7668]

@@MarkusWeigeltDE Wow, danke dir! Hat perfekt funktioniert, jetzt kann ich mir einen Automationclip sparen :D

[@raoulduke7668]

@@MarkusWeigeltDE achso mal eine andere Frage: Wie lange hats bei dir gedauert, bist du mit deinen productionskills so zufrieden warst, dass du dich ans releasen getraut hast? Bei mir ist es nämlich so, dass ich schon seit ca. 2 Jahren versuche meinen perfekten Workflow zu finden, stoße aber immer wieder auf Blockaden.

[@MarkusWeigeltDE]

@@raoulduke7668 Ich habe 2007 angefangen mit dem Produzieren, mein erstes Release hatte ich erst 2012. Lag aber auch mehr oder minder daran, dass ich erst mit Hardstyle/Hardcore angefangen habe und erst 2011 zu Techno kam. Aber wenn ich mir jetzt so die alten Sachen anhöre, denke ich mir auch "Wie konnte ich das so releasen?" Also zufrieden bin ich nie 🤣 Aber ich würde sagen, der neue Stuff ist ganz in Ordnung und klingt schon recht fett.

[@puma-white]

Amazing video, very to the point. What were you putting on your Low bus in the mixer?

[@MarkusWeigeltDE]

On the low bus just a little bit of saturation and compression to glue the low group together

[@justinwilliam4644]

U can filter your patterns

[@jeremyristhaus7811]

Geil... bitte mehr davon :D

Mind sharing the hex codes for those colors you’re using on the playlist ?

lol I like the voice

[@proximityclockworkx1572]

Not very useful for someone who wants to get into making hard techno from scratch. This tutorial has too much of showing your own schit and very overgeneralized tips which don't help very much. What would've been more useful, is: -how to process the kick and drums for hard techno specificly -what type of synths should I use for bass and leads -and any extras that make the song better In other genres I was able to find multiple tutorials that has these covered, but not for hard techno. I searched for hard techno FL studio tutorials, and this is probably the only one. So I guess I'm stuck with searching for all these thing specifically and hope for the best. This is not a critique of your skills, but rather just an observation that for me, this wasn't that helpful.

[@MarkusWeigeltDE]

Hey mate, sorry that the video wasn't very useful for you. I'm working on another one right now where I try to make something from scratch and elaborate every step. As you said I want to cover the low end, Synthesizers that are useful, the general idea for the track until mixdown process. But unfortunately that takes a while you know
