Thank you so much for the education and inspiration!

💎💎💎 dropping some GEMS! 🤯

Thank you for this.
Just for the sake of adding info for the guys in the comment section: On simple hardware sequenzers or grooveboxes these polymeters can be achieved by using the "Active Step"-function

When talking about minimalism in techno. There is one thought which also gets its fair share of support. Once you delve more into minimalism you often encounter songs that don't utilize breakdowns or drops at all. There are some percussive elements dropped of and brought back and synths an other components faded in and out but any major anticipations of big changes are absent. I get the appeal of risers and huge drops and how they work on a dancefloor. Also you need that release of energy in form of breakdown to actually build that energy again for that big drop so in that sense breakdown and drop goes hand in hand.

Then again people who are not that much into a big breakdowns and drops say that they interfere with that repetitive and hypnotic nature of techno and therefore prefer minimal techno which just makes more subtle changes to carry song forward.

There is still that common ground that I think almost all of the people across genres agree that there needs to be movement in the sounds to keep it interesting. That is of course up to debate how fast it should be e.g. compare some glitchy dub step or hardcore to ambient and you might find some different opinions how fast things should evolve.

What is the sample in Low Groove Group? 🧐

How does that freeze / flatten thing work? I did all the things you did and I got an audio clip with the clap beats on it in their pre processed state, not with the echo.

I love watching your videos. Lol I’m at a thanksgiving get together and I’m in the corner watching your videos 😂 happy thanksgiving! Very thankful for you and these videos!!

Excellent work. This is the second time I’ve watched this 😂. Do you have a video explaining the backbeat and turn around?

Wow awesome you know your stuff, know if i can only incorporate the instructions into my dawless setup 😢😂😅

A Beatstep called a miniLab and then the SQ-64. Then came the volca Sample , TR-6S and the Roland S-1
Well, now is time to learn. I never subscribe myself to any channel.

The 4 rules of techno.

1 loop the same thing for 16 bars

2 wear black

3 sway side to side

4 be a zombie

I immediately like this guy

Fantastic

As someone who hasn't sequenced since Scream Tracker 3 I'm amazed how much more ease and control there is with this software. Man, I need to get back into making shitty music. Maybe one day it won't be shitty!

Omg your explanations are so fun!) The groove is spreading through you)))❤

Thank you, inspiring as always. BTW nowadays people expect a fake drop at bar 45. ;)

Subscribed! Thankyou, great content 👌
