[@RigelSounds]

[@chrislay4199]

In my opinion, this is one of the best tutorials for tech house groove so far. Would definitely appreciate more from Max!

[@jeremyr8793]

great tutorial! would of been nice to see a full track or how he does his basslines

[@iancain6647]

Cut and dry. You've shared something special here. A template for creating. Probably the most useful video regarding groove, ableton, and techno.

[@DizThaWhiz]

13 mins in and ive already learned a ton!

[@mal3214]

Keep going back to this one and learning something new every time. Great info and a big thanks!

[@diego-vz7zv]

[@achromatic1]

[@tommyboxxas8722]

Love the tip for Kicks using a return track with EQ & compression

[@diego-vz7zv]

this is awesome.. im back everytime to keep learning from this!!! max chapman u are a monster

[@BKDAYZ]

I have literally watched this video TEN times. So helpful. Thanks Max!

[@DelasVC]

[@briancase6180]

I'm so happy I found this! There are many techniques I've not seen before. Thanks!

[@celebration4all]

Thank you, Max!

[@oo7vega]

Great video, still two years later, Thank you

[@einzigkeit7216]

Thanks so much Max Chapman and FMM

[@ASWJ11]

Thanks for sharing

[@abhishekc1458]

amazing

[@itsbrex]

Surprised he worked that entire time with the epic phasing issues from the reverb on the return track not being set to 100% wet. Other than that, interesting workflow setting the midi notes short and controlling the release. I thought that was pretty cool. Keep it up dood.

[@Richard_P_James]

Probably phasing as he's mic'd up, so you've got a blend of signals.

[@MikeDeanOfficials]

BREX aaaah it was the snares phasing not the hats

[@itsbrex]

Snares for sure, but it was anything going thru Send B since it wasn't set to 100%.

[@djlokho]

thanks max!

[@LewisMonbarn]

Thank you for the vid, learned alot!

[@DerBen03]

He explained a Kick-Return-Trick with the words "it doesn´t affect the volume". He looks at the track-volume and not at the master-volume, while he explained. The kick get´s 4dB louder with the "trick" in the master-section and people think it is better, cause it only get´s louder and a little bit more compressed and high-cutted

[@ucdannewman]

Best tutorial on drums I've seen on KZbin, been getting my head in a right pickle trying to get it sound right, but this has shown me exactly what I needed thank you a lot haha!

[@kevinstucki8644]

everything is generic in regards to layout for the most part, he's not going to give away his sound. that's up to you as a producer to develop.

[@robbret]

Great tip on automating the volume on the compressor in the effects chain rather than on the track itself, so you can still mix it down later.

[@ReedGustavsen]

Thanks Max for your time and share some good thoughts!

[@SeanValeo]

awesome tutorial on how to make club ready tech house. nice one max, thanks for giving back

[@marianmusic7221]

Wicked tutorial mate, good to have someone who isn't too serious about stuff and just enjoys making sound. Safe man

Good video, like the hats! and the off beat snare

[@SHFTR.]

[@Aurelius4114]

[@andrewrichardsuk]

Thank you, I really enjoyed this!

[@afi6061]

Some good tips there. 👍 What samples are you using for the 909 hats? Sound really nice?

[@alanmiller7858]

[@MYEVILTWIIN]

Picked up a few nice tips there , the one on using a compressor for the automation on the snare volume was good. But you can always use the utility on something that's been automated to turn it up or down ... Think I'll be using Max's tip from now on , cheers mate 👍

[@WOODNOX]

THANK YOU!! you have a new fan by the way!

[@simonwaxonm8441]

Thanks for the Video Max. Learned some Nuggets from it.

[@8BallEyes]

Is that kick trick to make it fatter like parallel compression? Or what? I use reason and i'm trying to figure out how to do it in reason... i'm drunk right now too so i feel like i'm misunderstanding this haha

[@yadeadhomie7982]

Thankz a lot! 🙂🖐️

[@dannyrodriguez4162]

Great video Max, Really appreciate it, hopefully you can make a part 2 on creating fills and melody's to finish a track, Again Than you.

[@mikepage6002]

Thanks so much! Really helped me out✌️you are a genius

[@nachoci6876]

very nice sound! I think if you use classic ADSR mode the length of the midi notes does not control anything so does not mind if they are sort or long.

[@santiagoperezdjproducer8277]

A simple straight up beat which always works well

[@tima6120]

where I can take kicks like this ?

[@TheDrumloop]

Get max back to do a full walk through of a track please

[@Maurerna]

How did he link the master to the kicks @ the end?

[@martinistse]

I mean.... a monitor is too small, so why the fuck not get a TV as a monitor

[@fuzzupuzzu]

great video, simple but very effective techniques... the best part was "they wont be able to nick ur drums" I always do that too hahaha

[@stavran]

respect bro \m/

[@TaylorGangUkTaylors]

It makes me happy that he said the exact same shit I say to myself every fucking time 😂 I'm on my way. Even if I can make my own grooves it just mixing that little bit better

[@andypryce7417]

Reverb on return tracks should be %100 wet. And adjust the amount from the send knob of the applied track. Otherwise you double the dry signal on the return track which as here can cause phasey sound.

[@alanchrj]

at least have the tv at a high resolution. It hurts my eyes watching it through youtube ffs

[@ImJustaLexMusic]

Where would you get the background noise samples from?

[@calvinlanz7046]

go to www.freesound.org and search for atmosphere, street or field-recording etc. just need to make a free account and its yours to use! Or even better yet, get a portable mic like a zoom recorder and make your own recordings!

[@ImJustaLexMusic]

Awesome thanks mate!

[@calvinlanz7046]

No problem! Enjoy ;) probably one of my favourite websites to find any sound/recording you could think of!

[@LoveMeBack]

My neck hurts!

[@xzchc]

Mine too. I really don't get how a lot of producers have their screens up there. It's non-ergonomic af. I understand people want some controllers, but not all the bulky gear that may go somewhere else just as well. (Maybe even above the screen.)

[@Vestu]

It's like he's having massive cocaine withdrawals... "eehhHHH... hhhhHHH..... umhh..."

[@Mclennnan]

Select an area to the length you want then hit Ctrl Shift m on a pc and i thiiiink its cmd shift m on a mac? It will speed up your workflow a wee bit m8.

[@bizz210]

why does EVERYONE use "alberton"?
