How to take hard techno forward

hmmm. just wasn't doing it for me. The percussion was recorded with too low of compression and the eq was way off. I mean, did they even mic those f'ckin' maracas? His chant was a bit sloppy too over the beat and he changed it up at an odd point. I guess it really was piss poor.

Nathan Fake Interview said:
Lots of people say that techno music is dead. That there can't be any progress anymore. What do u think about that and how do u see a future of techno in next few years?
It would be cool if techno died. Lots of people would be at a loose end.

This music stuff is the same as skateboarding..the fad fades in and out over the years and decades, but those who are hooked on the freedom of cheatin' gravity keep on laughing and rolling down the street while the others walk around. Nothing wrong with that.

You need to shake off the wanna-be clingers who are bringing down the ship when it's over capacity anyways, or the young guns need to stomp on the faces of their elders (if those old farts aren't strong enough to fend them off) to keep themselves afloat and make themselves heard.

I'm going to make some popcorn and watch it all shakedown.

i would say be diverse, agil but not pliable. do your thing and stay true to your heart. dont take no for an answer. best i can give you off the top of my head about how to take your thing forward.

oh yea and dont get stuck in a batch of sounds/samples for the length of your career!

spend days making banks and effects BEFORE YOU COMPOSE!!!!

The sound creation is an invitation
for the preparation to become an alleviation
of what ails you and the community.

Through building sounds and tones
as sturdy as ones homes
you'll be as harmonius as Snow White and her Gnomes...er Dwarves.

get another distro! what on earth are you thinking? distro's have been running the roost along with mags for ****ing years! your alot better off doing your own distro these days, i mean at the end of the day its the artist perception on music NOT anyone elses.

personally i love the distorion and i love some monotomy (need a spell check on this forum hehe) it makes me go on my own journey in my head

Alot of really good stuff has been said already so I wont repeat & there's too many to quote....! :)

Because I am rather fresh to the scenario of me bein in the studio, learning new production techniques n how to use this that n the other new synth that I just got, means that my approach is fired up with enthusiasm... :cheese:

This fervour helps my creativity...

At the moment I am at the stage where I find or make a sound that I really like. Feel the mood that it gives me n then build the tune around it & give it a name. Then create a story in my head that I want the music to follow...

**Little_Fella!** · 04-09-2006, 06:01 AM

I just sit down and create a dance tune with various kick patterns...

As Techno is in my soul, (re 'Addicted to Techno thread), I am therefore making Techno...

Techno thats coming from the heart and mind of a person who really believes in its future.... :) ;)

I concur with the idea of a "story in your head" little fella.
Each track I create has a picture and a feeling/ideal that
I construct with great detail in my head first.
Sometimes I can carry a track around in my head for
months before it is created...

Wel first and foremost id like to say a big hello to everyone on blackout audio. My name is Doryl Roy. I joined quite some time ago but for a while havnt had the net on my journey down to the big city of London. After just reading the opinions some of you hold i have decided to put my own two pence in seeing as alot of the opinions you have put out i hold myself. I know nothing of distribution or the politics within the dance music industry all i know is how i feel.
I think the first thing that people should ask themselves is what is hard techno. If anyone can tell me i wud like to know cuz ive been listening to it and i still dont know, ive been on store websites to stores and to me sum of it sounds more like hard house/hard dance than techno. Is it a particular sound, a particular feeling a particular place that evokes emotion, just what is it. i feel in order for anythign to move on there cant b boundaries or genres there jus has to be music. to me the problem arose from the first time someone said oh whats that, thats hard techno. people shouldnt worry about what they are making they should just make what they want to and if it falls under a particular genre then so b it but they shouldnt start off and say im gonna make hard techno cuz then everything will start sounding the same b cuz they feel they have to stick to certain sounds, tempo and arrangements. i here so many tracks nowadays that sound exactly the same and i think to myself there all these people who get to work in pro studios with all the equiptment at thier disposal and they come up with the same stuff. i say stuff because to me techno (not hard techno) is a feeling that goes on a journey and the so called hard techno i hear keeps u in the same place waiting for the mother ship to come beem u up but it never does (the point im trying to get here at is not to put labels on techno) sumone once quoted (not implying anyone on here) house is techno and techno is house i say fuk off techno is techno stop shackling the music. to move on the feeling has to come back simple as that. people say it needs to go back to the old school but the only thing the old school encapsulates is the vibe at th time and really and truly that vibe that was there will never come back a new wave and a new vibe has to b created. i dont believe u can sit around on your ass hoping its gonna come back cuz thats what the music cycle does if anything is gonna happen within hard techno or anyother techno genre the vibe has to be created and it has to start now. take everything so deep back underground that all the bullshit that surrounds the music goes. take it all off the radar completely then those who r true will be the only ones left then one day the music will come back as fresh as the day it first arrived but hey this is just my opinion and what do i know except how i feel.
