The Secret To Making Tech House Like The PROS

Here's a free sample of the course if you're interested: www.completepr...
Here's a tutorial on how I would produce a Tech House song from scratch in Ableton. Follow along with me so that by the time the video is over you have a song too!
Remember to comment any questions or feedback as I read all the comments and respond when I'm able to.
Thanks so much for watching!
Cheers!

Wow the production value on these videos is incredible! I'd go as far as saying this is one of the channels with the most well produced videos in the production niche. Well done Ethan, love learning from you!

[@codyhemmah]

100% agree! Thank you ETHAN!! Putting in so much time and effort. 🙏

[@CompleteProducer]

thanks so much!

[@fetyandodio]

Agree

[@djlomaxofficial]

😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@iuliangherghina3518]

I would like to try but I'm 30 years old and I think it's a bit late for me, I don't know if I can learn and earn from it 🙁

[@ZinglZanglBoB]

watching this vid in the beginning of your producer career saves years!!!! What a great walkthrough! Thank you Ethan :)

insane thanks

[@b00ts4ndc4ts]

​@@schqrrtotally agree, people that take the time to do this have my respect and thanks.

[@NK-tn4rk]

Your every video genuine And honest that's why your legend 😊

[@N0S0L]

I love how you managed to show the basics without over explaining anything 🙌 very helpful video, thank you 🙏

[@prodbygunter]

You gave all the sauce on ableton commands thank you!!

[@CompleteProducer]

(:

[@RolandOnTheRopes]

Ethan, no word of a lie. I fucking love you. For about 15 years+ I've just struggled to get my head around DAW's and music making, and finally after watching your content it's starting to click. Thank you so much man!

[@CompleteProducer]

wow thats incredible! thank you!

[@Ex0rz]

Damn this is probably the best music production tutorial I have seen so far! At the same time you are explaining some complete beginner stuff and some more advanced stuff. I personally belong towards the latter and am here to learn about house production.

[@ashleyjoyamir]

This is by far one of the best videos I’ve seen about the workflow of Ableton & producing. Thank you!

[@jurezibert]

"I've been making electronic music for 12 years" also him: "I never realized tech house means techno house"

[@RussJohnsConnects]

Love the process and the way you explain the element. Clear and concise and thanks for the time, effort, and energy for the tutorial. 🏴‍☠❤🏴‍☠

[@NocturnalPLUR]

Maybe I'll get there in 10 years. That was crazy good but my head hurts now

[@emlad]

wow, your videos are seriously soooo informative and insanely helpful for a noob like me lol! I have a ton of music theory knowledge and I write and sing, but producing has always been confusing to me - but in one day from watching your tutorials, I have learned ableton really well and I think I'll have a sharable tune in NO time!!

[@LeePuu]

Good shit!

[@alesence6801]

Can somone explain the reasons for not using a Midi Drum kit?

[@cams5483]

Awesome Video ! 👍🔥 Didn't find the "Make It Big" rack in my library though, is it something you made or bought ?

[@michaelduffproductions8976]

Also wondering this

[@TCGdp]

He explains his OTT setup in another video

[@michaelduffproductions8976]

@@TCGdp is that the Make it Big rack tho? Because there's definitely more going on than just OTT. If so do you happen to know what video?

[@JVTNE]

Ethan i cant thank you enough! This video in specific and some of your other content has really sparked that creative fire in me again. I stopped making music about 6 years ago due to life and our first child but i don't know what it was about your video that just gave me that itch i needed to scratch again. Thank you my friend and ill be joining your paid program soon.

[@CompleteProducer]

awe, im honored! and congrats on the family (:

[@MentalBlue]

Surely a very nice how to video to just give some basics to beginners. But, do you really produce tech house music for 12 years not knowing the basics about this genre and googling it for the first time after 12 years. You look young enough so you probably did not experience the rise of techno era in the 90s but hey 12 years of tech house production without ever wondered how this genre developed trough years and what it actually is?! Surprising

[@CompleteProducer]

12 years of producing music! I started more with house, dubstep, and pop. Never really tried my hand at tech house before this video!

[@Kurt-p3n]

This was very helpful thx ethan ❤

[@crysesq]

Can you make a tutorial for Afrohouse like Black Coffee etc.?

[@zameerpactyan]

2 minutes worth of information in 24 minutes long video 😅 Still deserves a thank you chief 👍

[@sholomdym]

Do you guys even realize how helpful 23:20-23:27 is? This man just demonstrated a visual example of how to do something I’ve been wondering how to do for so long

[@AndrewPaul1]

boo

[@notmichaeljm]

This was awesome and SUPER HELPFUL!!!!! Just got on ableton for the first time yesterday....going to need some more tutorials Ethan! Keep it up!

[@daemeonation3018]

Yeah. I just got my midi controller a few days ago. This guy's tutorials are more focused and better explained than some of the others.

[@literallyreal8938]

Thanks Ethan, I’m applying your techniques to make hip hop would love a tutorial on that too 🎉 👍

[@karianjahikiama6529]

It always blows me away with how well you breakdown and explain what you're doing in detail, taking the dive into becoming a music producer now seems less daunting than before - will be frequently revisiting this vid for tips and tricks along the way, thanks for an excellent start!

[@AngeloSposato]

Be organized, start with an idea and develop it creatively... very nice video, thanks for sharing! 🙏

[@nomorewar]

I came because i’m switching from fl to ableton so i wanted to see the workflow, but I just found gold here 😂

[@iTimestretcher]

OMG! You earned my sub with the "paste time" tip, I can't believe I never saw that there! Thank you :)

[@DhyanMusic]

I guess the 3rd note in the bassline is a bit off. Not in the scale of the lead thats playing.

[@oliverdking]

This was soooo well explained. Great natural teacher, explaining every step without dumbing it down too much. Thanks!

[@KaisoClub]

"Actually sounds kinda sick" ... hells yeah it does!

[@sanjailkoska]

🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🔝🔝🔝🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻😘😘😘😘😘🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧

[@hahaxolotl]

i installed ableton, and it was the worst experience in my life. Glad i stumbled upon FL as my first DAW

[@Tomino1302]

Where can I find such plug ins and staff to use😢. I just don’t have things to add so I can’t make anything in ableton.

[@paradiso767]

You're just crazy, humor, everything is clear and to the point. Your energy makes me smile and look attentively at the same time. I like and subscribe :) And greetings from Siberia

[@code-noctis]

Shoutout on your Work !!! Short Question: How can if find the "make it big" Rack ?

[@Taylor_Sounds]

when you don’t have a million plugins to make music 😢

[@Rjgc1991.1]

Your wish is to get rich off a free track on pirated software

[@soto.diego1]

new fan over here! amazing video! i would love if you could make like the same idea like tech house or whatever EDM but only with ableton pluggins that would be sick. Keep up the great work!

[@SFPV]

How much mnoney would you say you have spent on plugins?

[@marcanthony520]

I wish I would of seen this ages ago as so informative!! Keep up the good work !! Definitely gonna implement some of this formula! 👍

[@jellycoding]

Great video... I just would like to make music that sounds like Lexicon Avenue Nite:Life 012. Would people want that today (other than me... LOL)?

[@BlankPosterMusic]

The Secret To Making Tech House Like The PROS... How about adding a + after PROS which says "and you can learn a bit of Ableton too" (no pressure)

[@Sam.Kasso.]

12:32 bro is so honest 💀

[@illiyakorniyenko]

The secret to making new producers depend on conformity... Fuck creativity and artistic integrity right? Super convenient! just like how your music will sound after watching tutorials like this.

[@ConnAndTheThings]

Ethan "how to make tech house like the PROS" also Ethan "I know what tech house sounds like I -think-....googles it"

[@onsite2406]

Amazing content! Btw, Cmd (or ctrl)+shift+D to duplicate time instead of copying

[@David-sm4pb]

dont think splice because you will sound like everyone else. instead focus on a combination of high quality packs and underground packs that no one has ever heard of....

[@andrewglover8941]

Old fan and trying (again) to learn production. These videos are wonderful. Just want to say thanks.

[@alida2184]

this is thebest video ever

[@fivecolorscotty]

Can someone break down to me which programs I should considering saving up for to produce tracks? I assume ableton would be a great start. Should I be looking into a specific version? I would love some guidance in terms of where to start with software.

[@justinreilly3107]

Where do you get all these searchable audio samples from? Splice I think u might have called it? Are these your own personal audio sample library?

[@ros-t]

Great video mate, really loved tuning in. I've got to do a wee tutorial for a track soon actually and I was wondering, see the audio playback, is that just recorded via your mic or via a cable from the laptop to a soundcard so the music sounds clean with no room recording issues or just the screen recording recording the sound from the speakers? Yes, I'm an over thinker with this stuff haha. Cheers for the video anyway, great content. Ros T

[@MattGregoryGuitar]

Thank you so much - super inspiring! You're awesome. I'm just getting started in this and it's so great to see it broken down. Struggling with where to start with getting samples - any tips?

[@Tunes_Unleashed]

This is what i was looking for. Now producing decent Music! ✅ Best Intel ever!

[@cheshirecat5824]

This is fantastic, sounds like Fisher/Chris Lake - you nailed this! 👏

[@RockRizzy]

The tip for the turning volume down on all tracks simultaneously is gold alone.

[@DJLeskoDetroit]

When I make many duplicates of a clip, it gets gradually more and more out of sync with the other tracks?

[@rij2392]

Very well explained and i really appreciate how you wrote the different "instruments" rather than just saying it not a lot of KZbinrs do that. got my sub.

[@paralleluniverseexists]

20:40 could also use a slight high pass filter to make it intense before drop with the gain reduction…

[@jeremyr8793]

So you prefer working in audio instead of say MIDI and drum rack then? (im only 3 mins into the vid btw) lol

[@Itsanasmusic]

DUDE🤯 I got 10 minutes left to watch and I learned more about Ableton in this one tutorial than all the other combined LOL. I’m pretty experienced when It comes to using Ableton and Im very fast at getting shit done but damn bro I still learned a lot more😮‍💨✨

[@CompleteProducer]

Wow thank you !! Keep going!

[@freedomempireofficial3001]

this goes fckn hardd and well explained. im new so its a little fast for me but im picking up. amazing video brother!

[@herbsnchedda]

mad ups for all of your invaluable content regarding music production, but the David Dobrik giggle gotta go brooooo :/

[@RockRizzy]

Love your vids man. One of my biggest questions is how you handle attack on drums when using wav instead of the midi drum rack stuff. Is there a quick way to do this?

[@chromespy4314]

Learned so much over such a small amount of time on ableton. Thanks very much for this tutorial

[@brookiev]

My midi bass piano wading coming through after I generated it from my bass selection. What could I have done wrong?

[@katelauramcgill]

Hate to be the one shamelessly plugging themselves in the comments but I have a bunch of brand new royalty free acapellas available now on my KZbin if you're in need of soft female vocals for house music!

[@Jose_T131]

Amazing bro , can'tf finish because I got the lite version, I'll upgrade soon

[@dboyagod]

This was awesome bruh. I just switched from fl to Ableton, its like learning Chinese 💀

[@onetwo4181]

Keep going, bro ) more and more videos like this ! 🙏😁 you are so cool !😊

[@ahgrr7411]

hello im new to producing house music and i was wondering what the best program to produce house music is? Appreciate the answers :)

[@joostspijker3124]

Great video! I saw that you had that slice dropdown menu on the top right corner. Does anyone have any idea how to add that to my ableton? Saves a ton of work :)

[@raulespim]

can you say which packs to download for tech house musics from ableton live?

[@aloha2713]

You are using to much recurces in your tutorial that is expensive and that not everyone can use. Thumbs down for that.

[@strix2035]

Learning the software seems more complicated then thinking of the sounds you need

[@TastySwift]

nah

[@ofc_temponi1829]

nah /2

[@JohnJohn415]

You should definitely add links in your descriptions for all the sites you use to make it easier for people to check them out too

[@cityraintunes]

From one teacher to another, you rule man. Great job all around.

[@CompleteProducer]

thank you!

[@cams5483]

Would love to see a breakdown of the crazy vocal chain

[@Jose_T131]

4:44 for windows , left click & while "clicking" press Alt and move the grid

[@Dinkydoodaddy]

Awesome video! I am a complete beginner and really love this level of explanation

[@skaffjean]

Very well explained! I suggest if you can go a bit slower for the sake of beginners

[@commonbeats]

Appreciate you bro - a fellow adhd bro! You are so talented

[@FrancesAnn-y3s]

OMG bro you are lit and the video is great for the beginger. Big love from China

[@Zolo420]

I knew the bass sounded familiar, its pretty close to Loosing it of Fisher

[@illmattic024]

Incredible video man, I just learned so much. I’ve got a house beat in progress and I can’t wait to spice it up with some of these tips 🙏🏼

[@Taylor_Sounds]

20:44 what is he talking about?? confused lol what effect is he applying that too?

[@alexhandshaw5021]

great video

[@leonpurdie4807]

Ngl off of this one video Ik I can make cold house beats now 😛🤙🏾🔥

[@Kattali]

🔥🔥🔥🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@mamba4158]

Learning so much from each video, happy you dive into different genres/sub genres

[@Heldens31]

Do you have an audeze 2c or xc? What can you say about them and what were the headphones before them

[@Wick_Xo]

great video❤. Can you make one video on how to mix vocals?

[@RansbyJohan]

Thank you for your video! :) A question about your PREMIUM LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP - If I sign up will I then have virtual Mentorship from you for the rest of my life, like you will respond to mails, give me feedback and so on for the rest of my life? :)

[@CompleteProducer]

Hey Ransby! So they idea behind the mentorship is that I'm able to provide feedback and answer questions throughout the duration of the course. Usually the course takes 1.5 to 3 months to finish. I have some students who've finished who I still give feedback to sometimes, but the mentorship is primarily for students who are currently enrolled! However, the lifetime membership means that as the course grows and I continue to add videos you'll always have access to all the updates/new content, forever. Hopefully that makes sense, and let me know if you have any other questions!

[@lifenogarage7685]

Bro this has helped me so much. Now I have to try and incorporate it to Fl studio

[@subele_music]

@14:15 you can actually just press Command + Shift + D :)

[@ganeshsoggi3231]

This video is very helpful.Do you have a course that I could buy to learn tech house?

[@cheifbreto1432]

When i hover my mouse over the clip the squares dont pop up why is this?

[@levonsarkissians]

Hi Ethan, fantastic tutorials! thanks. Question: make it big.adg , is this an Ableton pack? or have you obtained it from another website? I have the live 11 suite and could not find it in there. Curious to know. Cheers

[@CompleteProducer]

i made it myself! i have a tutorial on how to use OTT in my video on Music Production For Beginners I think!

[@luigiborza8431]

Your videos are amazeing bud, I'm currently doing a course on ableton and it's so difficult for me, you do a real good job with clarity, got a sub from me 👍

[@CompleteProducer]

thank you!
