How To Make Tech House Like The Pros

[@RobVice]

It's so funny how life goes sometimes, I remember asking this dude for production advice on Reddit two years ago (when his top track had like 10K plays maybe) and now he is a star and I am still nobody lol

[@adarshvermamusic]

Are u jealous?

[@RobVice]

@@adarshvermamusic You wouldn’t be? But no, I am not looking for his level of success personally but the way he took off so quickly and easily is what makes me jealous for sure

[@jech1393]

@@RobVice I remember watching his vids about 2 years ago, thinking this guys good, next thing you know superstar! Im happy for him, gives us inspiration for what can happen!

[@FERGO.]

@@adarshvermamusic he is

@@RobVice bro he Focused on song more than perfection nd yes u can see him as inspiration ♥️♥️♥️

An actual pro giving pro advices. It doesn't matter how many tutorials you look for on YT. Sometimes the algorithm blesses you with one of these gems.

[@0420777]

So many people talk shit on John Summit and hate on his music but the truth is, dudes mixing/mastering is on 1000..... The latest songs he's been putting our hand crazy groove factor. I love seeing somebody make it that really loves what they do..... You're killing it bro.

[@theneonpython]

He knows how make top hits, play the social game, and has been at it for awhile. Theyre mostly mad that hes a frat bro and theyre redditor losers

[@deadlyydude5522]

@@theneonpythonkinda funny tho cus the way he’s talking in this vid I would have no idea he’s a frat bro. Sounds like an awkward nerd here lmao

Calling him a frat bro is kinda pigeon holing the dude. He's a lot more intelligent than your average frat bro lol

[@alicampbell5786]

Short and straight to the point. Mint. Keep them coming.

[@JohnSummit]

that's the goal! i don't have the attention span for the long tutorials on here lol

[@luisrocha26]

There are tons of tutorials on tech house on youtube, but this is an actual CLASS. We can see you really know your stuff

[@enzoleal4482]

And to think that he is now one of the greatest exponents of the Tech House with 10 million monthly listeners. It's incredible how life changes.

From a KZbin Tutorial to Madison Square Garden

[@ROMARIOMUSIC]

Big up to John for showing his process, in a detailed way that caters to producers and is able to be followed easily.

[@alfonsotan]

Seriously just learned waaay more in 5 minutes than I have in some of these other 30 minute vids. F'king solid - thank you!!

[@Itsmeitscharles]

The amount of insight packed into 4 minutes is very impressive. Great tutorial, looking forward to watching more! Thanks!

Did you know when you commented?? Lmao

[@FacuB22]

i cant fucking believe i used to watch this tutorials and now i realize you are the actual Jonh Summit. Crazy. Keep up with the good music man you the best!

[@EDMTips]

Hey man...just gotta say...really, really digging your tunes!

[@SuperFlamejr]

Can't believe I'm just barely coming across your channel after seeing you perform 3 times in the span of a week...first at ARC, then Radius for the afters and then at Everything Always with Dom Dolla, oh and at those after too!! Killed it each time!! Love seeing the growth, you're a beast bro!!

[@Vgk36]

Jesus Christ. lesson is leave it to the pros. Killer job at EDC this weekend John. You deserve the success and thank you for sharing some knowledge. It's also the reason you are where you are today. I'm sure people shared some key pieces that really helped change your sound into what it is today! Blessing man! Keep killin it!

[@LEARODRIGUEZMUSIC]

Love it dude! Thanks for helping. This is the REAL tech house. You are the first person in KZbin that helps making this sort of tracks.. Cheers from Argentina 🇦🇷

3 years later and still love this. an updated vid would be coolio

[@thisguyrools2807]

Long time FL studio user but figured out how to do it in my daw. Made a sub in 3xosc then went to envelope instrument settings and clicked on pitch. From there it was just messing around with the amount and speed until I got the vibe I was going for. Your video really got me going into the right direction. Thanks a lot:)

[@lorebringers]

how do you do the bass in fl studio?

[@thequguy_]

❤❤❤❤❤ John is a huge deal now - I don’t think he expected this - well deserved

[@xeerofficialmusic]

This tutorial is sick, straight to the point.

[@SteveBurkert]

So it seems like your life just contains building muscles, flexing them and making music. Great. Subscribed.

[@michaelcolling5748]

really love shorter videos like this. music is meant to be a personal creative exxpression. you give a little info, and then i play with the ideas to either produce a massive pile of shite, or something I love. Hobo is great for that too! long live short (but helpful) videos like this one :D

[@alexnyland1995]

John Summit playing direct support for Green Velvet. Best set I've seen in years. Waiting for Caleb Dent to play direct support for you John Summit!

[@Anii6969]

Funny how he made it "Like the Pros" & now he is the Pro . Very good tutorial! Listen to what this guy has to say as he is one of the best tech house DJs in the world.

[@djlarrypeace]

Echoing someone else, "short and sweet". Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

[@richwilliams1897]

this shit is absolutely wild. Would love to see a return to Summy making a tutorial

[@ryanbent9368]

My favorite part is you explaining why you would need the layers. Congrats on your success!

[@MaxIvoWes]

Mine too, that way I can make sense why he does it so I can think myself what I would do with my own song

[@7urbine]

Really cool how this dude went from being a corporate accountant to an EDM star. I think he learned some solid work ethic being in industry a bit before taking the leap to being a full time producer, which I think 100% correlates with his success. Compare this with the high school dropouts smoking weed all day thinking they're gonna make it... can't compete.

[@djjosor]

very spot on

[@whostroubled]

John summit really on his ting my slime

[@FernandoAlvarado-q4o]

Not only is this a fantastic tutorial, but this joker also nailed the time down to exactly 4:20, which I can't imagine is coincidence 😂. 10/10 on execution and groove! My only compliant is that I'm out of town when you're in MN this weekend so please come back soon.

crazy how I've been really Vibing w your music. Also find it strange how your 5 min video helped me more than a 30min-1 hour vid. Hope to see you Soon!

This is a Great Video!! Super informative, and quick, thank you very much! I am sure that many of us appreciate it, and whether or not we are even trying to make similar style tech house as you showed in the video, the information displayed is still very useful to have because I am certain that knowing how to do these tricks can help in any other genre as well! Thanks so much for taking the time to share and upload these, and we are all looking forward to more tutorials I am sure if you end up making them! :) I am currently working on finishing my very first track and these quick tutorials are really helping me get it to where I want it to be! Thank you.

Now the hardest part is finding a good kick sample.

[@1samwhich]

Kick 2 vst. Make your own kicks. Can't go wrong ;)

[@allennunez]

the funny stuff is that people don't know what exactly a good kick sounds like. so just off the bat you failed. some people get lucky to find or steal a good kick. or they know how to layer them

[@AlexAldorf]

lol he literally sells the project file bro, u can just cop it and get the kick xD

[@ricknicolai5740]

@@1samwhich I prefer making kicks vs downloading because it'll sound the most like you

[@RobVice]

@@1samwhich Not so fast bro, Kick2 takes a lot of time to master and I oftentimes find that it's easier to just layer a couple of already made kicks together. The dirty secret in the industry is that everyone samples and steals kicks from other producers' tracks, I started doing it too and usually you can get away with not having to process your kick at all if your sampled it nicely.

[@Flstevieg23]

You have no idea how much this helped me out man. Thanks John!!!
