thank you Mordio.

Thank you Drinmo

[@a_u_t_r_o]

Thanks! It gives just the right sparkle to the sound.

[@MordioMusic]

Thanks for the support mate

[@Sonic_EDU]

your theme is amazing

[@MordioMusic]

i got my ableton theme from www.livethemes.co/

[@Liquides11]

This is golden! Do you want to elaborate more about making the basis (kick&bass&offbeat kick)? Keep it going with all the sounddesign tutorials, very helpful. One of the better methods/techniques you have. Most of youtube tutorial are to beginner friendly. This is the better stuff.

[@MordioMusic]

Happy you like it, i have videos on my way to make the kicks. Have a look on the channel :)

[@PhilippEmilHerrmann]

Great advice, great sounds! Thanks as always for the amazing content.

Randomnes equals human touch

[@pinecone666]

When you are too lazy to actually craft the nuances yourself, just let the algorithm do it for you and settle with your generic little track

[@jocee2257]

​@@pinecone666ok where can we listen to your music?

[@MordioMusic]

@jocee2257 bandcamp, you can fond all links here on KZbin.

@@pinecone666 I am usually working in the box these days, I work in Ableton for more than 20 years from version 2 when there was no midi just audio clips .... and I only work in session view (never learned how to use arrangement) plus I find it very unintuitive to draw in a DAW. Cause my midi controller broke recently I always use a bunch of modulators on certain parameters and I love happy "accidents". I make my own modulators in MAX.

Thank you a lot bro

happy you like it, will never stop!

[@timeOI]

Thanks, Amazing as always... Even though I'm making a Progressive house, I found your content very informative What's the name of themes you are using for both Ableton and OS looks super clean :😊

[@MordioMusic]

happy you like it :) i try to show tipps not just for one genre. i got my ableton theme from www.livethemes.co/ my OS is Windows 11 but i modded it to look more like my linux boot.

Great as usual! Thx Mordio

amazing video, thanks for sharing

[@MordioMusic]

sure this is the way

[@BonasBuden]

You are on the very fundamentals of the techno. Although on the surface deep / hypnotic techno may seem simple and monotonic well crafted tracks are far from it once you pay attention to them. It is always balancing act to put enough movement but not to over do it. I think movement can be disected to 2 main categories rhytmical and timbral. Polymeters and polyrhythms provide movement by creating patterns which resolve after longer time period. Sound itself could and should also come with small modulations which never quite align with movements within other sounds.With mixing you can push the boundaries of how arhythmic, atonal or abrasive sounds you can get away. E.g. there might be a pad sound on the background which is rhythmically modulated in a way that rhythm runs free without being in the grid. By mixing it low enough it does not collide with main rhythmical sounds which are in grid. In a same way atonal and even conflicting sounds can be utilised with proper mixing. For example bass rumble can be done by modulating pitch of one sustained note. Tonal perception is rather low on such frequencies and that rumble is usually mixed quite low. Same amount of pitch modulation on higher sound would be horrible.

[@MordioMusic]

that is a good summery of techno but in the end I'm not believing in rules in art. so all good things to know but in the end also good to ignore to create something new.

[@BonasBuden]

@@MordioMusic that is an interesting philosophical question of how much to impose rules and what kind of rules onto your art. Although ideally there should not be any rules yet all of the masters of their art has spent quite some time honing that skill. Many would not consider that art if you just put some random person behind a drum kit and ask to create something impactful. I think you need to know some mechanics of your art before you can create it. Once you have big enough skill set and conseptual understanding of how to convey different things in your craft you can start to mix up things. I listen whole array of different genres, from jazz to heavy and try to always find something interesting to listen from different genres. For what I compose its just something I come up with and enjoy doing so when having some spare time. Its almost like exploring some new sonicsapes from my sofa and its pretty meditative and relaxing. Second there comes that afterthought of creating livesets which can be played at local venues. That kind of outlines the genre so I would land on a cohesive set. It would not be very appealing set for anyone if it would go from eurodance to a dark noise ambient. So yes certainly I impose some rules on my work like I think anyone of us do yet there is enough playground to feel quite free to explore.

[@haydenjames5244]

I would love to know how you make that wonky bass sound, seems kind of like a pitch bend or something? It sounds like blowing bubbles under water, I love it and can't figure out how to get mine to sound that good

[@MordioMusic]

you are right its just an operator with a pitch envelope and a sting sequencer that give a 8 note sequence. filter on top to make it underwater.
