I didn't say anything about copying step by step, or being a sheep.

Pls note the best way to learn ABOUT part

If you are new to producing techno (NB the title of the thread), and you particularly like one style - detroit, acid, minimal etc its important to understand how the tracks are put together.

This is what was actually asked in the first place:

I'd be really grateful if any one can give me some tps on producing techno. I know it is fairly experimental but is there any framework e.g. emphasis on kicks, hats, structure (always 4/4), tempo etc.
This is why I suggested maybe taking the time to desconstruct what other people are doing. Deconstructing other people's work gives you the skills and knowledge how to build your own.

You probably don't realise it yourself at this stage, if that's your approach to production
Thats a ****ing arrogant statement.

This is a production forum where people come to learn and share.
You're doing neither.
