19 Techno Patterns Changed My Life in 4 mins

[@DdZ-lv3jq]

It's like packing 19 youtube tutorials of an hour into 4 minutes. No ads, wacking around bushes for algorithms but straight to the point. Very nice!

[@dko4882]

The channel we don't deserve

[@thetomster3]

Makes me want to hit that like button and smash that subscribe button, and I don't even listen to techno

[@peterm85]

Cannot agree more. Awesome!

[@boardmandave]

I totally agree great stuff

[@fintux]

I pretty much came here to write this. No BS, no artificially prolonging the video, just cutting to the chase. I don't really know anything about making music, but I like to listen to various techno genres, and I found this video quite informative. Also interesting how simple things can achieve so much.

[@drcomusic]

Thank you for this! I spent some time studying these today and wanted to share my notes for those interested. Here are the 17 patterns (two are part of the Melodic Progression) in chronological order: 1. Dramatic Build-up Instructions: Take a note, then another, jump to another octave, then repeat. Duplicate the notes and apply automation cuts. This will make your build-up much stronger. 2. Dark Clap with Attack Instructions: Start with a regular clap pattern. Make it darker by adding attack. Switch to a 16th note pattern to create a full off-beat techno clap sequence. 3. Power of Six (Ambience Pattern) Instructions: Take your root key, count to five (1-2-3-4-5), then play the sixth note, come back to the fifth, and loop it. This creates a looping pattern using the "power of six." 4. Rolling Bassline Instructions: Start with the root note, duplicate it once, then duplicate it again. Loop the pattern and sidechain it to the kick. At some moments, apply cutoff automation for variation. This is a common rolling techno bassline. 5. Offbeat Bass Instructions: If the rolling bassline has too many notes, simplify it by removing beats and making it bigger. You now have an offbeat bass. 6. Groovy Jump Bass Instructions: Start with a root note, add a second one, and then jump to another note. Repeat the jumps, extend the notes, and loop it. Make sure to sidechain the kick for groove. 7. Extended Groovy Loop Instructions: To make the jump bass even groovier, extend the pattern, and loop it for more repetition. 8. 16th Note Hi-hat Instructions: Take a single note for the hi-hat, then duplicate it 16 times to create a continuous 16th-note pattern. Play with the velocities, add groove, and randomize fading for a more dynamic sound. 9. Off-hat Variation Instructions: This is an off-beat hi-hat pattern. It's boring on its own, so add accents or extra layers around the off-beat to make it more exciting. 10. Triplet Hi-hat Instructions: If you enjoy triplets, alter the previous 16th-note hi-hat pattern into triplet timing for a more rhythmic variation. 11. Evil Spirits Ride Instructions: Start with a ride cymbal. Utilize the power of semitone movements to create a haunting, "evil" atmosphere. This works especially well in darker techno tracks. 12. Rumble Bass Pattern Instructions: Take a kick drum and route it to a secondary channel with heavy effects. Resample the output, take one part and place it on the last quarter of a bar, legato it slightly, and then add another transient on the offbeat. Extend the transition and polish the sound for a rumbling bass effect. 13. Melancholic Ambience Instructions: Take a simple pattern, starting with the root C minor chord, and add a fifth note in the same minor chord. Duplicate it and move one note up by a semitone for a melancholic sound. 14. Melodic Progression (641) Instructions: Start by counting to six (1-2-3-4-5-6) and create a triad. Then, count to four and create another triad. Put your root key back in the sequence. This is the "641" chord progression, commonly used in techno. 15. Voice Layering Instructions: Once you've created your 641 progression, add vocal layers to enhance the drama and emotion in the melody. 16. Singular Drama Pattern Instructions: To create drama and intensity, duplicate your previous melodic pattern. Add a single note to extend or emphasize a dramatic resolution. 17. Resolution Pattern Instructions: Sometimes you need a resolving melodic pattern that feels like a "return home." This is often done by creating descending note sequences to release the tension in the track.

Thank you Dr and A. Yalcin

[@QuantumS1ngularity]

Never in my life before have i heard more samples that i would die for to hear turned into full tracks, in the span of just 4 minutes. Every single sample is a masterpiece.

[@TheGreatAsthenia]

Yess! We want every single one of these, my god, you are like a fountain of epicness!!

[@brazilchem]

Exactly my thought

[@neutchain7838]

Yup, I was like oh that's nice, then ghawd what's that, then fuck what the hell how did you do that, then wtf nonono pls don't stop it... Phenomenal stuff.

I think I will need 4 years for this. 🤣

[@ketama047]

What a relief, she is such a professional. Right to the point. So many tutorials take 45 minutes to explain what is already in the title of the video. Nobody cares. Just tell us the stuff. Brava Alice ❤❤❤

I usually watch videos at 1.5x but I think I need to rewatch this at .5x to absorb everything

I really appreciate you not requiring me taking the video to dinner, drinks and 4 hours of foreplay before getting to the content. Thanks!

[@nathanreynoso311]

YOU ARE AWESOME AND EXPLAIN IT BETTER THAN 98% OF OTHER YT'S .... SIMPLE AND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT!! THANK YOU !

[@joshhanson9321]

I appreciate how concise this is. A lot of Tubers would make this a 45 minute video...which I would not click on. Thanks!

[@LeeDH22]

Thank you Alice! I've learnt more in 4 minutes here than I have watching hours of other channels.

[@blackradowan8465]

He is Yalcin😂

[@mathumphreys]

I loved this video - this was hilarious!! Here's how I watched it: 1. Start the video, 2. Turn on my synth (2 mins - synth didn't power up properly so had to try a few times), 3. Synth still not making any noise, stuff around with cables and routing (1.5mins), 4. Select sound, adjust volume so I can hear synth and video (.5mins) 5. Video finished. Classic.

[@alfiedotwtf]

This single video is worth ALL the previous years of techno production KZbin videos I have ever watched put together. Well done!

[@TwoWholeWorms]

I think this has to be _the_ best un-stucking video I've ever seen, demonstrating each thing quickly and succinctly, and in a way that actually sounds good.

For the first time in 4months of watching ableton videos evrry single day. I thank you for not wasting my time. Keep up the great work

[@Legion972]

Wow. Just wow. All of a sudden I'm not afraid of music production anymore. I'll probably come back to this video like a hundred times, so making a bookmark for it.

[@lvbandmore]

Wow! I'm currently taking an Ableton class and you just boiled down 9 hours of class time into 4 minutes! And it was all useful! Bravo!
