Right then.
As my VERY first act as a moderator here i am asking you ALL to put a stop to this right now.
sure its fun for the first five minutes, but then its all fun and games until someone loses a testicle.
SO.
From now on people in this thread will only do the following
1. List their method of production
2. REFRAIN from commenting on others methods
3. Actually go off and try what others are suggesting.
Back chatting this post will get you a naughty mark mKay?
positive vibes people!
Sure you two couldn't do that in a different thread (or hotel room) ?
how do you go about producing your tea? :ohdear:
omg
were any of you listening?
you think the others are bad, you aint seen nothing yet.
i started this thread to get proper answers and there have been some good uns, but you always get some clown who knows best and dont asswer the question properly, therefore the thread gets lost!!Quote:

How you make music is such a personal thing.
bugger off dodgey, this thread is now under the auspices of the nun shaggers
He waited, didn't he?
I didn't want to do it this time... It's just funny how some people can start going on and on for hours offtopic and obviously find it very hard to really contribute in a sensible manner. I reckon techno is the kind of music with the most 'secrets' and smallest number of people willing to help others out.
Scot, what help is a sentence like: ''...apart from the usual i try and keep any really good tricks up my sleeve...''
No bashing intended here, mate, just don't understand stuff like this. Maybe i am missing some special humour there, wouldn't be the first time.
to be honest, when i started this thread, there was no intension to 'steal' anyones ideas or methods, but just to hear any unusual ways people produce their tracks out of pure interest, thats all. :;Quote:

For me there still is a thing called language barrier. I surely don't always get every special nuance here. Let's leave it at that and try and stay on topic next time.
of course, but surely it's better to pm me and ask what i mean instead of calling me out in public? Just do that next time instead of carrying it on when the thread was back in course mateQuote:

Group Hug! Feel the love!
I start with the bottom and work my way up...try to get most of the tracks contents running over 64 bars,eqing,processing as i go along,then i start arranging it.Once ive got the basic framework laid out i start fleshing it out with additional sounds and work on edits etc..then check and tweak accordingly at the end.
I think (like seige says) that phrase length is very important...
Having variance in velocity placed within the context of phrase length is a really poweful way of avoiding that looped feeling.
Funny isnt it that we make 'repetetive' type music yet find at all costs ways to very the seemingly unvarying...
Just read an interview where that person says it's nice to apply edits after you have exported the track, by cutting out bars of the final *.wav and running effects over them. I have read this here quite often before but never really tried it. Will do now, though.
I do this all the time, its great fun!Quote:

I know, mate; said i'd seen it before on the board. Sometimes things become important all of a sudden to me. Like reading about automation and reading it again later and then at some point in time you really want to try it...Quote:

you don't get stuff like that in german magazines ;(
I work really hard to create track templates that allow me to have everything availible already for a tune, but do not automatically steer me into a specific direction.Quote:

Next, with the arrangement mostly done, it's time to work on synth lead/bass/etc tones.. Efx, modulation, +. After that, it's on to the mixdown, and I'm done.
My main thing is to move around enough that I don't get bored.
real talk nigga.. lmaoQuote:
