Welcome dude!

If you want to write techno, here are a few tips.

1. before you start to write music, listen to a CD that you like or want to emulate on the same system you use to make music on. This will give you a really good idea of what your music needs to match up to.

2. Have a go at writing your own percussion, this will help you create a new and original sound.

3. If you MUST distort something try using a guitar distortion pedal - rough but sweet!

4. Fast tempo doesnt make hard techno. Fast percussion with a good swing on it works wonders on slower tracks.

5. Listen to your fav artists, how long are their pieces of music

6. Remember there are only a few tracks in the world that have a structure that you can't steal ...err i mean learn from.... and one of those tracks didnt even (4') have (3) any (3") instruments in it.... structure is very important, do some structural analysis.

7. Quality in Quality out. Dont use bad sounds, use good exciting ones

8. Learn your sequencer to the maximum, this will speed up your creativity, there is nothing worse than being stuck, also how do you know what you can do with it if you dont RTFM!

9. Learn your editor well, this will be your bestest friend and can help you clean up sounds or create crazy new ones.

10. Enjoy yourself! (and get some fake tan - im assuming you're honkey here i know... as you will need it, spending too much time in the studio is bad for your tan...)

Lastly, welcome to the world of techno and Blackout Audio! :clap:
