Thx!

[@Synqronizer]

How to-the-point you explain your actions is enticing. The way you no-fuzz avoid overthinking and tinkering with sounds and arrangement bits is inspiring. Such a great process you've got going there. Thanks so much.

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

So glad you liked it! @@Synqronizer If you are interested I have just launched a course on my website doing the process and techniques in super detail :)

[@RezRez]

So I've been making music for a number of years, but this tutorial was immensely helpful in getting me to re-focus. I switched from FL to Ableton recently, and I've been having trouble nailing down some kind of sound, but leaning towards techno. I watched a million and one tutorials, of course, but none of them felt like "me", they all felt hollow and empty. But I returned to this one (one of the first I ever watched), decided I wasn't going to over-complicate it like I usually do (e.g. you say "let's have an arp synth" I go "alright, and let's have a main lead, a counter melody to that and-and-and-and..."), and there it is. One thing I did have trouble with still was not using a snare/clap, which I know not every techno song does, but I was just so used to it that I couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing. So, I did something new: I had gotten into the habit of using Amen breaks for percussion, usually moving the kick rolls or secondary kicks to better fit the 4-on-the-floor type beat. Instead of doing "just" that, I modded it so that the snare hit of the break replaces the usual snare/clap - not entirely, as it is still percussive, but it works. So, THANK YOU. :)

[@djtall3090]

you are an inspiration

[@imagesofstyle]

Definitely publish it! Not sure which was better: the amount of information you conveyed, or the sheer joy you were radiating.

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Thanks! 🙏 Production is just very fun :D

[@NoobFLProducer]

When your viben to your own produced track you know it's a banger :D

Thanks a lot for this lesson. It is nice to see how to create the music from scratch. Best from me!

[@imkennyshaw]

I love the way you explain it. Great communicator

[@alexfr811]

Nice!!... I wonder how come Amelie became so successful so quickly, and many, so many other very talented producers and DJ's don't even get to scratch the surface???... What do you think?

[@ultra1000]

It reminds me of "German Bold Italic" Towa Tei featuring Kylie Minogue) ! Great tutorial. Didn't realize that was how you made the kick drum rumble. Excellent tips.

[@jimmywheelo]

Fantastic tutorial. Thanks I'm going to follow this in full later this week. Always find new ideas on here.

The result has more like Miss Kittin vibe, which is kewl

[@bluespectralmonkey]

nice video i'm going to record myself singing "make more techno" pitch shifted plus a load of fx and now i'm a techno girl :) it's either that or a robot. :/ great video thanks

[@filsdepoire7213]

Very Cool. Yours is better than mine! I think I need to find the way to make the same simple boop boop beep boop melody. GJ, I Liked to follow this tuto very much. I can't wait to go though all the other ones.

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Oh thanks!

[@WhyteZone]

Just, wow!

[@bluespectralmonkey]

oh i see you're suomi ! how about some suomisaundi trance !!?? would love to see what you come up with , or could i maybe remix one of your tracks ;) ?

[@Leviathani]

This was fun and useful. Many thanks!

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Glad it was helpful!

[@craighip7870]

Great video. One suggestion is that you use some tool that makes your mouse much larger and shows when you click. I got lost a few times trying to follow your mouse.

[@mafaldanunes4948]

great video, you make it seem so easy

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Thanks so much!

[@Chunda8]

Hey LNA this came out well and was really helpful. It is probably inevitable to upgrade to Ableton, it's definitely the go-to DAW for techno. I think it will be worth it. A lot of techno vocals seem to come from old sci-fi films.... I think of a ship's computer, AI or securty system saying something like "Destruct sequence initiated.....45 seconds until self-destruct..." And that was the fastest I've seen someone get the rumble going.

[@ennapetranovic524]

you are amazing

[@gilvaniooliveira8850]

[@Korbi182]

cool tutorial, but can you explain step 4 better ? until this step i could also do exact the same but then it got difficult :)

[@gutiguerra4042]

HI LNA CAN YOU PLEASE DO THIS FOR A HARD TECHNI TRACK?? PLEASE!!!

[@gutiguerra4042]

This would be so appreciated by us hard techno producers.

[@thesoundhacker]

really loved to watch , normaly at 1 minute of technical terms i get bored , but i can whatch you for hours , your fun and know alot ... really love you

Somehow reminds me of Welcome to the Machine by Pink Floyd

[@jenseckes9064]

Hi there. I'm 52 and just startet with Ableton with zero knowledge an no musical backround. I love your Videos ... they help a lot and are fun to watch. How did you create that little melodic part at 19:50? What Notes did you Use? THX"

[@ncuhymck]

it's fantastic to work. what program do you use?

[@jdssurf]

i'm trying to grasp it, you move through popping this open, this open, that open.............the hardest part for me right now are say I get a kick going,wouldn't it be best to just leave that kick going, nothing else, and just go through all the plug ins and color effects eq and such in every way shape and form, until i understand all those things befor moving to the next track? i just don't know how to say add some sounds effects to a track, them you hate it and need to back up a few steps, stuff like that, how to you learn all that without someone sitting with you?

[@alexsm3882]

Track is nicee 😁 I actually stumbled onto this video bcs I'm thinking of trying to produce some tracks but didn't find the answer I was looking for 🥲 Like if I happen to like a lot of vocals on my tracks and want to use some from another song, how do I sample it on account of the background drums? Like do people drown them out somehow with filters or do they incorporate them into the track? Like when someone uses hollaback girl in a trackor when charlie sparks used a whole ass rap song in his welcome to london track.

[@tomwells4899]

Yeah techno d'troit 89 summer of love Acieeed! okay techno became something that was 4 to the floor which really belongs to Chicago house 88 yeah acid house was the crossover BUT! proper dtroit techno original techno was a syncopated beat more jazz than disco rhythms weaving themselves inbetweeen and into each other what I used to love was the bleeps from computers and industrial machines and the sound of the blacksmith bangin' metal. The box sounds hitting the inside of the box with a little bit of echo.

[@kavokei1337]

Holy shit, that was a vibe! Also, +10 techno points for wearing black for this video 😎👽 So, drum and bass next? 🙏

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Hah black was an obvious choice!

[@henrikrinne3639]

How do you keep motivation to finish a song? I get sick of hearing mine after an hours work, and never want to go back to it

[@michelle.tuv.nguyen]

instant subscription to you

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

yay welcome! 🤗

[@aplica6006]

One question LNA, you who know how to do techno with Ableton... how can I get the keyboard from 03:04 - 03:15 of the song "Carrier signal" (Soul Extract) in Ableton? Thanks for your time!

[@davidmarshall5665]

Used a lot more third party plugins than we usually see. Enjoyed the video as always,thanks.

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Thanks David! Yes I feel like this is how much I would normally use them in my own music... but it does vary :D

[@calvin_banks_music]

You can put the limiter on the master at 4.20 (four twenty nice :)) which makes the master visually not clip but you'll already have digital distortion before it hits the limiter. #gainstaging What I typically do is on every audio and Midi track with Instruments I have a utility with -12db by default template for audio and midi tracks so I have enough headroom for saturation, distortion and all this jazz. I also make techno and use a lot of saturation but I want this to happen in a controlled way and digital distortion is just not nice in most cases

[@georgerivera7193]

Love your energy, Nice work

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Thanks!

[@theshinylunchbox]

"Everything I do is shit" is such a relatable sentiment when it comes to creative endeavors. Just got to push through it and make, make, make.

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Yess that is why I try to focus so much on creative confidence on my channel and show it's ok that we all feel insecure sometimes, but we don't need to let it stop us ☺

[@skyhr]

Great video! Can you explain how what you did in this video is separate from mixing? I thought _this_ was the mixing part?

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Thanks! Yes so in this I just produce the aesthetic parts of the track. Mixing is a stage after production. I have a mixing course on my channel that'll explain it further. :)

[@fritsvanzanten3573]

So I try to replicate (more or less) what you were doing, but I am (and was immediately) confused by what you do on the 106. Unfortunately is can't be heard in isolation, but I don't understand the combination of the arpeggiator and playing only one note. Arpeggios are about broken chords, aren't they? Could you do a under-4-minute video of adding this synth track (maybe including the sound beyond picking a preset called techno to make it sound techno, I work with the TAL-UNO)?

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Having just one note gives the note in a first place rhythm, and by suing the arpeggiator controls you can create the harmonic pattern without doing the harmonic chord beforehand :) Good luck with it!
