EASY MELODIC HOOKS for Underground House and Techno

[@lindastrawn3389]

Fell in love with this track! Immediately bought it (have purchased 2 others of yours already) from Beatport. It also was in my Spotify Release Radar last week as I follow you there too. Loved the tutorial too.

[@dilbydj]

Thanks Linda, I really appreciate the support!

[@paulc7798]

Rick Snoman talks about this technique in his book "The Dance Music Manual" from years ago. He calls it Hocketing. Oliver Heldens does this with Bass. Keep em coming.

You make it sound so simple !!

[@dilbydj]

It's pretty simple. And in the video it shows step by step how to start simple and make it more complex.

[@meilstone]

Thanks for all your real world advice, Dilby! Keep it up... 😎

[@alexdelargesupertramp]

Thanks for all the tips, Dilby.

[@dilbydj]

No worries!

[@Q-T3K]

What a sick tune and tutorial!

[@Carlho80]

Great tutorial been trying to take influence from the old school proper 90s progressive house and trance. This really explains the sound been really just 2 or 3 melodies/counter melodies using an array of sounds, and call and response elements spread out over a lot longer time frame than more modern melodic house. Cheers.

[@dirtyharry6297]

My favourite channel now :)) More about progressive 💪

[@musichealsus]

super nice Dilby, thank you. I'll also buy your track and play it this weekend. Thanks !

[@domgilsevendj3850]

You are amazing, top producer !! 💥💥💥

[@lindastrawn3389]

Thanks!

[@dilbydj]

Thank you Linda, much appreciated ❤️

[@DJeMo]

Awesome it's like you read my mind 4 days ago, and Ive just caught up with you today hehe, anyway... perfect video I needed right now, as ones manouvres like the frequency slave in us all staring at the paper will all the paints n colours ready to roll..... Arrangement and cohesion is the challenge.... Thanks for this video, such a helping hand among the jam nitty gritty right now....

[@InfrdMusic]

gives me hot since 82 vibes, my favorite

[@enterteg]

Great content man, keep it up! Love your style

[@dilbydj]

Thanks, will do!

[@DiscoTuna]

Awesome - really enjoyed that, and that is proper funky. It was dramatic what an improvement the technique had on an already strong melodic component. I have experimented with this technique before plenty, but tend to do it on more complex melodies where it works somewhat from one phrase to another. For these, what I would call rhythmic melodies it is much more powerful. Thanks for the quality content as always. I find it amazing your subs aren't up at the 100k level yet - totally on par and beyond those that have those kind of numbers. I think I will drop your recommendation on some of the big FB forums - too many people are sleeping on your content.

[@DJeMo]

Subbed, and hellos frequency slave hope your well

[@dr.feather4860]

This really cool, i find cumbersome to have 3 tracks layered and mute notes, i loaded a drum machine in bitwig with different sound , i wish i could play them with different pitch like a smopler, thatway i would have all the midi in one channel, kind of do…anyway thank you!

[@DjSimplyNice]

[@davidjames1210]

love the content man so helpful what version of Ableton is this usuing i have 11.3.13 but dont seeem to have the wavetable & drift are they only on the suite versions?

[@dilbydj]

Live Suite. Drift is in all versions, even Live Lite, so if you're up to date on updates you should have it.

[@soulestialcarnival4473]

Can you show us how you made your bass please 🙏

[@dilbydj]

Honestly can't remember. Check the project files

[@justinjones2595]

Good one

[@dilbydj]

Thanks

[@jaredbyrd1973]

Another banger vid on the behalf of dilby

[@forrestblair5168]

For your downloads, what is the difference between main and the other downloads?

[@dilbydj]

Hey man, sorry but I don't understand the question.

[@forrestblair5168]

When I go to House of Loop to buy there are lots of options. Some kits, packs, etc. Main is the most expensive. Does it contain everything? There is no help on the site to determine what is in each download.

[@Jaqcko]

Really enjoy your content - could you make a video on how to create a track in the style of jamie jones/hot creations

[@skyeus7787]

What is the filter frequency mapped to?

[@dilbydj]

Hey Skye, what time in the video is it happening? Do you mean when I load the organ preset on the second synth layer?

[@skskyee]

@@dilbydj 9:22 (using wavetable)

[@dilbydj]

@@skskyee ther is some filter modulation from envelope 2 and from velocity, but nothing crazy. It's a very basic patch.

[@skskyee]

@@dilbydj makes sense, thx 😊

[@jelig72]

Sub'd

[@kylekeller7577]

If techno had melodies, it’s not techno anymore. It’s then called trance.

[@dejijdful]

Could you just dont give your trashy opinion. It's polluting the ocean of everyone's brain. Thanks

[@dilbydj]

Good to know. Thanks for clearing that up Kyle. Somebody better update the Underground Resistance guys that they were making trance this whole time! 😱

[@tsomofc4795]

Not Trance. Maxime Dangles, Florian Meindl, Oliver Huntemann and many more have melodies in their Techno tracks

[@robertbuchholz4509]

Solomun is a trancer ??? His hooks are amazing
