Thanks for having me guys! Hope you enjoy it :)

1:58 -use sequencer on chopped synth loop to create unique synth melodies in key 5:24 - use ml 185 (based on system 100 seq) on chopped synth loop to create other melody 6:05 - use ableton pitch device to tune your sequence in key 8:10 - use resonator on percs w/ reverb & modulated filters to create ambient pads (crowd seems to be somewhat perplexed at how seemingly computer generated techno music really is xD) 13:07 - use apulsoft apQualizer modular eq plugin to make creative evolving modulated filter fx 15:40 - use polypin, a euclidian sequencer, to create euclidian sequences for *closed* hit hats 18:09 - use delay to create dynamic, creative *closed *hihat fx 18:52 - use soundtoys magnetic space echo effect to go even crazier with the closed hats 20:23 - use vocoder with lfo on dry/wet in near audio rate speed on *open hats to fill in the weaker frequncies and create a differing sound per open hat trigger 22:50 - distort the kick a lil for different techno tones 24:31 - passive eq the kick for relational eq shaping for the kick tone to sit right in the mix 26:10 - comp the kick with db160 style compressor 27:08 - use utility device to mono the kick etc 31:05 - use dub delay on pad and shape to hear effect better for subtle rolling dub delay effect on pad 36:37 - use granular samplers as another way to make creative pad sounds just like the seq'd resonantor made this for myself because I reference this video way too much. this and yan cooks videos are changing the way i write music

this guy is not only a genius and master at his craft , but the way he laughs and gets excited everytime he reveals a technique to the audience shows how passionate he is about his music and how willing he is to teach people things .. cheers to this man ..

This video is legendary.

So kind of you Tom to offer your top secrets. Thank you for not being selfish like so many producers who never share anything. We, in the less pro community, appreciate it.

In this "short" presentation I learned so much more as in the last 6 month. Thank you for sharing @Tom Hades

One of the best sessions I've seen, and I've seen quite a lot of tutorials over the years. Thanks for sharing!!

Quite probably the best Ableton tutorial I've ever seen. Many thanks for this Tom

he explains things really well :D not afraid to share like many others

So kind of you to share and help us Techno producers it is always inspirational to watch and learn how you work.

I have never before seen someone revealing themselves as the producer, in front of a live group...amazing! gives so much perspective :)

Bah, everybody complaining about how "this is not original enough" or "you should make your own samples!!" should, and hopefully will, realize that they are stuck at the masturbatory phase of making music. Don't make it a competition on who is the purest, what matters is ending up with some great new track! What @tomhades is doing here is showing a few tricks and tools that personally I find amazing, and in so little time the result is really interesting. It's more than I was hoping for

Truly one of the best Techno Tutorials ever.

such a nice person... hopefully I meet him once ! thank you, learned a lot

Using the Ableton resonator for drones like that was fantastic, such a cool technique.

I really appreciate the emphasis on doing what inspires you. Rather than specific techniques and tools, he's telling what he likes and what feels right and different ways to think about getting there. Very organic

One of the best how to make techno videos I've seen so far. Thanks PB & TH!

so many great things to try out!! thanks a lot Tom!!!

That’s a really cool session! Thanks for putting it out!

Thanks, Tom Hades, great sport. :)

Thx for sharing your vision, workflow, tips & trics, recommanded plugins! Most inspiring!

Techno legend indeed.

That trick with the resonator.....TO DIE FOR!!! Thanks Tom, I know there's a reason I've been buying your tracks for so many years haha

This was really informative and awesome. Big up to Tom and to PBS for sharing these gems for us all.

What I like is Tom smiling through the whole process. Enjoyment 😊 with experimenting with sounds. Nice, friendly guy.

Great tutorial! Thanks, Tom Hades!

Thanks for sharing. Tom, You just made me your fan today.

Good stuff..a lot of 'masterclasses' spend 30 minutes mastering kick drums...this was a refreshing change...

I laughed at loud when he made the joke about the open hi-hat being his "next trick" . Refreshing tutorial here.

Best session I've seen in a long time. Thanks Hades

Some very cool stuff in here! Thanks so much!

Short, concise, and to the POINT, thanks @PointBlankMusicSchool!

Opened my eyes to some things, thanks for this. Sure I'll end up watching this a dozen times or so lol.

This has changed the way I make music. Much more enjoyable process, just relax and experiment. Great.

Billion thanks tom Hades !!! for your music , and for this class !

Amazing. Thank you for the knowledge !

@Tom Hades, its a pleasure to watch a master at work, i copied your methods for the first 1/4 of this vid and created a beautiful pad sound with those slight changing frequencies, fucking genius!

This session is gold

Thanks so much for this. Tom hades has a great one in computer music magazine too .

Absolutely incredible video. Thanks!!

Such a cool dude. Have come back to this over the years, hes very inspiring ;)

That was fun! Sometimes I wish I could just sit in the studio with one of these guys, mouth shut, just watching the process unfold with no real planning. I'd get all hyped from what's coming out of the speakers!

What a great lesson - I learnt so much and managed to get copies of most of the plug-in's - Organic Techno

Wow, I didn't know, how much thought is going into this type of music. Very inspiring way of working with Ableton Live, many thanks for sharing. I will come back and watch it a few times more, to grasp all the tricks :D

Wonderful tutorial! Thanks Tom Hades!

Of course he is amazing, he comes from Belgium :) . Thx for sharing your knowledgeTom.

Thank you, I learned a lot!

Learned a lot of techniques from this video like using the LFO and slice/sequence method. Thank you Tom!

Tom was kidnapped after recording this video and nobody has seen him since that day. One of the best techno tutorials on yt, easily top 10.

Thank you Tom and Point Blank. This stuff is really great.

Amazing Tom, absolute legend mate :) Thank you :)

A guy who knows what he do and know the tools that he use, simple and efficient! I don´t use to watch techno masterclasses but this one its so interesting!!

Tom Hades realy cool stuff... i THANK for... MAX for LIVE 🥰🙏

Excellent ! Really interesting and in-depth demonstration. Thank you guys

Class!

This is so satisfying to listen to

Impressive! Thanks a lot, very inspirational

Fantastic!

Great look into production!

One thing to note is that the Roland System 100 sequencer he mentions wasn‘t actually an original Roland module from the 1970s, but a passion project done by a guy in the 2000s, which later was the inspiration for the Intellijel Metropolis sequencer. Later on the same guy founded his own company RYK Modular and now builds a Eurorack version of his 185 Sequencer.

this is one of the best video I see in really long time really thanks for sharing this for the people of the world :)

11:29 this is amazing advice. one of the things that seriously makes an improvement in your electronic music is to get "off the grid" a bit. when everything is synced perfect all the time it is nice, but a beautiful thing in techno is when it periodically comes in and out of perfection or something finds its way into the mix.

Wow !! amazing tutorial! Many thanks!!!

omg that's gold !

Such quick work to develop a nice groove. Great work here Tom!

Really great session here.

This was really useful, lots of good stuff in there. Tom seems like a good dude!

Thank you Tom ! great tips
