Arranging A Techno Track

[@raphaelambrosius]

I've said it once, and I'll say it again - JESUS CHRIST YAN THAT IS SOME QUALITY CONTENT RIGHT HERE.

[@pixelscientist9449]

I second that. :)

[@oraycolak9653]

Life moves pretty fast! If you don't stop and look once in a while, you will miss it

[@gunnerjace8627]

You probably dont give a shit but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot my login password. I would love any help you can give me

[@gunnerjace8627]

@Elias Bobby thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@gunnerjace8627]

@Elias Bobby It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much, you saved my account :D

[@mmik8643]

That video shows very well how we are complicating things unnecessarily.

[@אררטי]

Our boy Yan Cook comin through with these extremely high-quality tutorials.

[@djoverkin]

This is where most of us get stuck I assume

[@Gruftgrabbler]

I stuck the most at mixing. Arranging is okay since I start most of my tracks with the drop and the breakdown

[@diegocarvajal3549]

true

[@joyusachoobarb]

You get stuck at this part? This the fun part, the actual mixing is where shit gets hard

[@benearle271]

@@joyusachoobarb Yeah, the mixdown can be hell. Arrangement is fun as you have the core loop down and you don't have to worry about the mix too much. It's a nice sweet spot to be in where you can just play, and for someone link me who is mostly in the box, you get to tweak some knobs!

[@GARCIIIAmonster]

exactly

[@Jack-kf9wd]

So appreciative of these videos man. A whole load of people who wouldn't produce or would be intimidated to do so may start making techno and beyond cause of these. Thank you

[@Links...]

you always choose exactly what I need at the moment with the subject of the video

[@blork111]

I'm here with my notepad taking more notes than I ever took in college. Once again, cheers Yan

[@StunnedByWrestling]

Reassuring to me that I've basically been following this formula in the music I've been making subconsciously. Thanks for the tutorial, subscribed

[@MrMegaSuperBoy]

yeah I also did it just like that and was wondering if I'm on the right track

[@simaoski5560]

we are now witnessing the future of ableton tutorials

[@Shiosama]

Man, after watching two of your dub techno pattern vids, skimming and skipping some parts to get a quick grasp and watch this vid later at some point, I have to say, you're making this dub techno stuff pretty look way easier than I thought, coupled with a couple other channels I've been following. Zero music theory, barely any mixing, yet I'm making dub techno, slowly, like it's nothing. Definitely gonna be kicking that sub button

[@AnalogKitchen]

I like how you approach it from a hands on perspective. Yeah this works.

[@mattm3729]

it's very house-feeling, beautiful sounding w the reverb

[@mcod99]

this really helps understanding phrasing for djing, i now understand the structure of a track so hopefully this helps with my mixing

[@amberdean1263]

Arrangement is where I've been stuck for a long time. I can't thank you enough for sharing this.

[@GV_777YT]

the way you simplified all this . . . Genius. Thank you.

[@juba868]

I just discovered your channel and I can't thank you enough. After watching all your vids I have learned so much. You literally unlocked worlds of techno possibilities for me.

[@J.ay.W]

the fact you have under 100k subs is beyond surprising. thank you so much for this content!

[@Deathgazeroo]

Thank you so much. Recently I've been forced to sell all of my hardware stuff, and without you I don't know if I could brought myself to start producing in Live again. Those videos mean so much to me.

[@jaykitchen3776]

Excellent video, Been stuck in 8 bar loop mode and really struggle with arrangement's or should i say it scares me, the way you then sculpted the track was great to see..thanks

[@pabstkkx]

You are one of my absolute favorite producers. Thank you so much for teaching us how to create quality music

[@TheReal_IAAN]

I really appreciate youre stuff yan! I watch all youre video's and they are really helpfull even as a beginning producer. Keep them coming mister cook!

[@ricov2374]

The sculpting is brilliant. Many, many thanks for that ❤️

[@stevenflynnmusic]

Brilliant tutorials Yan, Ive been using Acid pro for years and have just switched over to ableton recently, out of the many tutorials that ive watched yours have stood out the most, You have made what seems like a lot of hard tasks become so much easier with your quality production skills shining through in your videos. Your workflow alone is superb to me but this current video has given me the tools to move forward. Thanks man. Yours in Techno Flynn.

[@brookewhatnall]

Thank you for these incredible tutorials! I started mixing and focusing on techno properly after a few visits to Berlin, and wanting that music back home in NZ, where it's rare to have darker hypnotic techno. I'm getting the production bug and finally having it feel achievable and understandable thanks mainly to how fucking awesome your tutorials are!!

[@macpaz]

This youtube channel is insane. The editing is so minimalistic yet effective. Easy sub. Thank you.

[@MrModelnow]

Very nice indeed. Great tool to put in my tool kit that I will definitely be using

[@prestonenriquez7673]

dope tutorials coming from one of my favorite producers 😁 life is good

[@nicoschmitt9857]

damn, until today i didn't even know one of my favorite Techno acts has a quality YT Channel aswell. damn good.

[@JamesRamboPearce]

So quick!! I need to get out of the loops sooner I think and just get a structure down

[@sjmaury]

still an amazing tutorial, would love to see u do another run of this video with audio u recorded from hardware!

[@SimonEkendahl]

Thank you so much Yan. Often your videos re a lifesaver for my tracks! And it helps keep my motivation up! Take care

[@BobTank]

This beat is fire bro! Love this kind of Techno

[@sokoleski]

Simplicity at itS finest... cheers 🍀

[@ndr_924]

I’m never going to get tired of entering these videos to say how amazing they are ❤️ Thanks for sharing your process Yan, so organized, insightful, clean and cool af 👏🏻✌🏼

[@lillilelli]

[@CleetusJones]

this some of that good techno

[@Masssch]

This was perfect, exactly what i was looking for, overview of how to put tracks together without making the sounds. Thanks!

[@carlotauro44]

This information is gold. Thanks for sharing along with an amazing tutorial

[@LH-lb9ym]

Simple video, but helped me a lot. Thanks man!

[@ulymarins]

Yan, you are sharing extremely good quality content. Thanks so much for that!

[@dijei_fullfine]

I prefer to extend the clips and use and automatisation with the mute of an utility to preserve the same clip and if I change something in the pattern the change will be done in all the song

[@recovered_file]

Each of your tips are precious. This method works very well. Thank you so much !

[@chrisleeramsden2077]

Some producers are painters, starting from a blank canvas. Yan, you are a sculptor, and a damn fine one at that. Great to see you chipping away at the block you created. So inspiring :-)

[@VettigeHandoek]

You, good sir, make the world a better place, Keep it up man

[@ThomasSolom]

Incredible!!! Simple and efficient. Again, thank you for that! 🙏

[@nathanielramos3129]

Thanks for the video man. Been a fan since I heard Testpilot drop Pauk at E-forest a few years ago.

[@MrRexBaron]

this was beautiful to watch

[@tmn141]

My fav KZbin channel right now, great content 👍

[@PiinoH]

Im learning so much with ur content. Thx a lot !

[@benearle271]

Great video Yan! Hopefully it will prove to those that struggle with structure that it is not rocket science! I see so many people get stuck on arrangement (I used to be one of them), but you show very clearly how it's actually quite simple. In fact, I use to use your tracks as my reference tracks and it helped me realise this for myself and help my track structure a lot!

[@vso7817]

Much appreciated Yan! Always bringing valuable content that we can actually use.

[@chrisl912]

Thank you. Love your music and didnt know you are making Tutorials ❤️ big help

[@boxxicc8]

Great and thank's a lot for sharing this cool stuff

[@salamandersm]

Fantastic- this stuff is great

[@kaibarrera9911]

Jesus christ this idea is so insane to me because I never thought of it. It's so simple! I'm punching myself

[@beltranpons]

Yan you're a beast

[@sudo-bandit]

I’ve been watching your videos religiously my friend :)

[@djgalactic]

Very nice, keep it up

[@julilabas]

This is unbelievably useful and much appreciated! Love from Argentina ✌️🙂 🇦🇷

[@bikesbeersbeats]

Helping get the knowledge out there!

[@francescomazzinghi2949]

i thank you so much! this is worth more than many request at friends to help me on arrangement of my clips building up my tracks. i will take this as a main structure most of the time untill i get good at creating tracks step by step. i never felt so clearly that now i have all the instrument to start. you must be an angel of some sort and i repeat it again: I THANK YOU SO MUCH. i hope in some sort of collaboration you earned a subscribe and a fan. francesco

[@77377]

[@DaviMartins99]

Simple, yet very effective. Thank you so much!

[@Test..00]

fantastic tutorial from a fantastic guy. What about some tutorial with an external synth? You are the best anyway 💪🏻

[@mobilegames718]

Best video ever. Finally iam understand how to compose techno track. Thank you 😍

[@paulnever6501]

Would be nice to see some videos about live, how to setup, how properly transfer your tracks to live project etc

[@mrsimo7144]

Banging tune. Brilliant.

[@busywl69]

used to be arranged via mixer mutes, drum machine pattern changes and riding faders backindadayz. How times have changed.

[@StinkySkunk100]

I like what you've been putting out

[@mapindicator]

This track slays ⚔️

[@jdikoder]

I was looking for something like this for Techno since 2012🤦🤦🤦🤦Finally!!! Tx ;) Subscribed👍👍🤜🤛

[@_Riemi]

Thx for shareing your Knowledge. Best Tutorials on KZbin, so many helpfull informations in just a few minutes...

[@martakoksal4948]

OMG! simple and nice.

[@volgin]

Thank you so much for what you're doing! I love your stuff!

[@peglapegla]

Really interesting to see. Discovered your channel today, you have some really good content and love your sound. Keep up the good work.

[@ify105]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks man

[@seanocean]

Whenever I do the subtraction method it winds up sounding too boxy.. :/ I do pull things over bars etc but things still sound abrupt, and predictable. Possibly it’s cause I mostly record in audio? 🤔

[@-arm-5116]

It's said that the arrangement has to be full of patterns, instead even if the patterns are few, the build up make a beautiful song.

[@not-hank-s]

The fact that (at least apparently) you do all this without listening to it as you're making changes is insane to me.

[@YanCook]

I do listen, of course, over and over again :) it's just for the video I did it fast and without listening, because I remember the structure.

[@ghfjfghjasdfasdf]

Of course he was listening although I wondered the same thing at first.. 😉

[@runnerkidal]

Super awesome - thanks 🙏

[@monab615]

really like this tutorial :) could you make a video on how to make and place fx please?

[@inchone6486]

nice...simple the best

[@santiagojaramillorodriguez8272]

hi, I have a question for anyone as this was a forum thread. Does techno have a bass line or is just the rumble?

[@JoelWest]

Yes Chef!!! Thank you once again Yan.

[@TheJacksonscience]

how do you do those duplicate/fills in the arrangement view that fast?

[@YanCook]

CMD+D

[@pawelamaciwoda9086]

ARTMATH BEAUTY!

[@TheClone300]

Just what I needed, thank you so much!!!

[@mrptails]

Brilliant tutorial man. Simples 🙂🤷‍♂️

[@debashishchakravarty9603]

Thank you so much Yan, this really helps !!

[@anessama8668]

Thanks !!! Yan this is what i need very cool 😎 helps a lot

[@flaviuspopan8024]

Please please please create a Masterclass/Skillshare course on start to finish techno!!! I took Andrew Huang's but wished it was more techno-focused. Your tutorials are my future. So much love and respect Yan, thank you.

[@thibaultclavel4131]

You just taught me techno. Thanks.
