How to Make Techno Less Repetitive

[@tacoselhuevon]

I love how you say "polymeters" great content always. In my country we say "polyrhythmics". Thanks man you help humanity with your sound

[@audioreakt]

ok interesting because we also say polyruthm but it's a different thing than polymeter

[@DjStinger]

Finally you created a Patreon! I'm obviously one of it's first members 😄👍

[@audioreakt]

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate!

Just signed up to the Pateron. Thanks so much for all your contribution. I have gained so much from your content!

[@audioreakt]

Thanks a lot for the support !

[@iamwildeofficial]

Polymeters are great! Another trick I use when I create baselines with filtered toms is to use the M-185 Sequencer and mute the second note of the 8, so it plays 7 notes and starts. This creates an amazing low end feeling. Super interesting video as always! Thanks for sharing

[@audioreakt]

nice one will try !

[@sharayenpather4934]

I'm 100% trying this. What tom did you use ?

[@iamwildeofficial]

@@sharayenpather4934 you can use any tom sample from 909 or 707 drum kit, then apply saturation and a high cut filter to remove everything above 300hz and you are good to go. Just experiment 🧪

[@AffenliceRecords]

Every time I think you’ve peaked, you hit me with something new. Mad respect for the consistency 🙌

[@audioreakt]

Hahah happy to hear that ! Cheers

Automation is #1

[@audioreakt]

Yes, but also hard to find the balance between not enough and overdoing it

[@Out-Out-Audio]

Modulation is #1!

[@jimmywheelo]

I’ve signed up to your Patreon and I’d encourage everyone else who has been enjoying your content all these years to do the same.

[@audioreakt]

Thanks a lot!

[@TheDurden-l7o]

Very good info. Funny thing is that when I play techno rhytm's on my keyboard, it kinda always ends up in those shifted bars. But then I correct them, but then I loose the feel. So thats exactly what you show here! I like your content. To the point and very well info. Altough I'm more into peak techno I like this raw techno style too. Do you release music too btw?

[@audioreakt]

Yeah it’s very common to tend to go back to these numbers…especially when the grid is set that way, it push you to stay in that 2/4/8/16 length pattern. It definitely apply to peak time techno as well, this is very effective to break monotony, even if the element is secondary… I haven’t released in years, but planing to released more next year… got couple of hypno track and more ambient techno ready, but I am not gonna lie it’s hard to handle all

[@Kleinebombair]

Very Good explained and straight forward. Thanks

[@audioreakt]

thanks a lot !

[@hmp01]

great video, thank you man

Lets go Paul!!! Wooooooo

[@audioreakt]

gooooooooo go

[@Purkotant]

@audioreakt also can we get some schranz related content pretty please

[@konzekuenze]

Great video as always, but I wanted to ask if you plan to do a video about using different time signatures. Many people get confused about this, and I'm sure you can explain this subject better than I can.

[@audioreakt]

Great suggestion!but tbh I always use the same time signature, might be something I need to dig into

[@bjornmohrs3099]

hi, greetings That's a funny coincidence! I jammed a bit last night and also brought the EQ8 to life with an LFO. but I wanted (again) too much of a good thing. Then I'll try it right away with your method. Have a nice weekend and best regards Björn

[@audioreakt]

yeah it's a great tric, cheers!

[@moderntribez4753]

You're welcome

[@audioreakt]

Thanks

[@Interim909]

FYI Alarico uses your samples in one of his masterclasses 👀

[@audioreakt]

didn't know but happy to hear that haha...thanks for letting me know

[@tiagomoraismorgado]

you have to grab your hard techno beats, play them 20 bpm, and getting them with a lot of reverb and delay, to make industrial dub, and then just grabbing some footage of warfare (i.e.: WWII or palestine, or russia), and play a live act like that

[@audioreakt]

Haha that’s a good caricature!

[@tiagomoraismorgado]

@@audioreakt no, i literaly mean it

[@diegoandreovalle]

Please make more tutorials for peak time techno 🙏

[@audioreakt]

I am running out of idea a bit for peak time techno, maybe need to go back to the basics

[@kineticstringwell844]

ive never thought of using polly rythums into textures and things like that . i find it hard too get away from the 4too floor 8 16 bars . coming from a hardhouse and trance background its hard too stray away from the 4too floor patterns and bar length ect awesome brother

[@audioreakt]

it's called polymeters. and yeah I think we all start with 2/4/8 bar loops and feel always very weird to have pattern with weird value that are not bars... I still have this especially with ableton where the grid i design to push you use bar length that are like 1/2/4/8 etc... I have less this with step sequencer as you see the grid in a different way...

[@suppaclassic90]

6:06 ! nice sound

[@audioreakt]

Thank you !

[@ArtEntity]

more plz i wanna make unique or different types of techno and house

[@audioreakt]

for sure!

[@noahrubin7680]

Using hardware for me is the simplest way, even if you’re using it to automate parameters in your daw

[@audioreakt]

Definitely, on my syntakt or any step sequencer it is more intuitive to do polymeter than the Ableton grid

[@quantum_ocean]

i was Like number 420!

[@audioreakt]

ahah

[@dbee77]

Can this cause pops or clicks ?

[@audioreakt]

what do you means ?

[@dbee77]

@audioreakt because it dosent end the note with the other notes.

thanks !

[@thierrykucharski]

Cool. Une autre astuce simple pour faire une modulation soft : poser un LFO sur le Dry/Wet de certains effets audio. Merci à toi.

Ah ouais pas con, c’est fou que je n’y est jamais penser mdr, merci

If not repetitive, not techno. Are we making a hell of dancing music or a Beethoven symphony???
