wow guys chill out!!!

god you have to love the passion in music making :cheese:

you know what? i learnt some of my biggest lessons in the first few years i produced copying other ppl's arrangements. i knew f all but i actually remember getting all the sounds in the sequencer just like i heard on a track i loved, then arranging them in exactly the same god damn way. damn the track rocked!!!... but then i thought.. it's not me.... i want to know more...

stage 2....

you see, once you're past the learning stage, you actually want to be innovative and make your own sound. and that's where the fun starts. imho you have to really learn synthesis, you have to really learn mastering... manuals, mags, internet, read read read.. it neardy as hell but you have to learn it there's no other way.. anyway back to the the topic.....

you want some advice? i agree with jay....

either you read up on everything (and i'm talking books and books and books for years and then make a track) or you have fun and make as you go - copy your fave producers if you have to... understand what it is that makes a good techno track.... then you will get to that stage i am talking about - where you want to be original....

anyway heheh

can't wait to hear the results mate.. please post them here :)

Cheers - have made a few tracks that are not really tecno but as soon as I do something I am happy with I will post.

As mentioned above I am not a complete beginner - more new to techno production.

Will post something up when I am happy with it - found a 303 emulator VST last nite so it may be acidy...
