How to make Melodic House & Techno like: ARTBAT, Monolink, Tale of Us *Project & Presets Download*

The MIDI scale tip was CLUTCH! I do feel learning your scales in the long run will benefit song writing, but this is an amazing tip to help get your leads going. Really enjoyed this tutorial :)

Thanks!

[@musicisall462]

thank for your great video i have a question why you did not sidechain bass elements ?

[@DowdenProductionAcademy]

I definitely recommend sidechaining your bass elements! Did I forget to do that in the video? Woops!

[@musicisall462]

@@DowdenProductionAcademy thank you so much for answer i put sidechain on group bass but i should put it first then compressor or first compressor second sidechain?

[@DowdenProductionAcademy]

@@musicisall462 @music is ALL First compressor, then sidechain usually!

16:00 im watching this now when Ableton finally has a build in scale function how times have changed.

100%!

[@ric7541]

Ayy great vid! Been looking for one that shows a lead technique like this. Quick question tho. Why do you use C Minor Scale for F# Minor track?

[@DowdenProductionAcademy]

Thanks! The minor scale follows the same pattern for every key. So I used the 'Scale' MIDI effect on C minor, but I changed the base note to the F#. The minor scale follows this pattern: T-S-T-T-S-T-T (T=1 tone or two semitones, and S = 1 semitone) The scale MIDI effect has a Cminor preset but not an F# minor so just changing the base note is fine, it puts it into an F# minor scale. :)

@@DowdenProductionAcademy Awesome!

[@DowdenProductionAcademy]

What other genre/style/artist/label do you want me to cover? Comment below!

[@nikolamihailovic9580]

Dixon, Ame, Trikk, Toto Chiavetta, Jennifer Cardini etc. would be good to see someone steps out from Afterlife and Artbat sounds, keep up a good work.

[@DowdenProductionAcademy]

@@nikolamihailovic9580 Nice ideas! Thanks

[@aniketyadav7023]

This was amazing. I think some song deconstruction videos of big/popular names in melodic and techno would be awesome - adriatique, fideles, boris brejcha etc

[@DowdenProductionAcademy]

@@aniketyadav7023 Thanks for your comment! I'll definitely consider those :)

[@oneeatoneofficial414]

hello and thanks for the great job. could I know the setting that Monolink uses for the voice? that would be great thanks!

[@DowdenProductionAcademy]

Thanks! What voice are you referring to?

[@oneeatoneofficial414]

@@DowdenProductionAcademy sorry you are right! I was referring to the voice setting of the song Sirens - Monolink. thanks!

[@nieciecki]

Good job, very good tutorial

[@DowdenProductionAcademy]

Thanks!

[@PedroBerkley]

Nice

[@athostriglianos357]

The leads are more mainstream melodic techno don’t sound exactly ARTBAT but the pads and bass are very much it!

[@DowdenProductionAcademy]

Cheers!

[@JDVVV378]

Maybe Like Einmuzik and Jonas Saalbach😎

This is nowhere near Artbat, Monolink or even Afterlife. Quick and dirty arrangement, generic sounds... just like 10'000 others on KZbin as clickbait. A bit disappointed on the copycat here to drive your traffic, this is far from professional standards in 2021 just check Beatport's finest in Melodic House & Techno, Organic House, Indie Dance... and you'll see the huge gap between generic music made in 10 minutes vs. bangers.

[@DowdenProductionAcademy]

Hey mate - always welcome feedback. It's not clickbait as I am truly a fan of their style, and I make similar music. I chose a generic sound because a lot of ARTBAT's style is very generic and similar in the sense of the same style bassline, and same style leads. The generic theme is to cater to their style, not individualism within each song. The video is already 45 minutes, and it's really hard to get people to watch your content when you're pushing past that so if I had more time I would have spent much more time on it. Hope that clears up why you may think it's just recycled click bait. Do you have a KZbin channel or Soundcloud link I can check out?
