So true. Some people literally think you need 100 tracks in a song.

Unless you are Frank Zappa

Ambient jungle from the 90s enters the chat: To be fair modern dance scenes require modern musical solutions

Love this concept and def got me thinking about when and when not to incorporate drum loops into my productions - that being said, as a former almost professional Greek dancer, I just get up and dance to my tracks to see if it works or not haha

Electronic music doesn't need to be danceable you normie

It depends on the track, Piero Pirup used a shit ton of layered percussion and Hi Hat loops on his track „We don't need - Club Edit“ and it was a nr1 smash hit because it just woeked

It does fill space, this only works for genres like this (Tech house). But if you want to make Trance, Techno, House, EDM, your track can sound very empty if you don't fill the space you have. Sidechain and processing MAKE the track

@@sorenandrews1078 It works if you edit the audio to standardize the swing... THAT'S the biggest thing here imo

same lol

For real 🔥

There is a lot more to it, ghost notes, sound selection, layering, mixing, panning... but a nice tip lining up the groove elements to not make it too complicated for the genre.

you can do that. But if you want to add those, you need to create space for them. He's oversimplifying for sure, but you can literally hear him using syncopation in the example he provides at the end. Stay smart, homie

I've found that feature to rarely work properly.

@@Skrenja I dunno. It's always worked reliably on my computer.

In your opinion, which track should typically be the main groove track for best results? The percussion loop track, the vocal track, bassline track, piano/guitar chord track? Thanks.

@@PETSWORLD_ Generally I think the percussion loop makes the most sense to use as the Groove track, simply because it usually has the most subdivisions that all the other instruments can "latch" onto. You really have to use your discretion though, most importantly you have to choose drum loops that would best serve a role as the "Master" Groove track. A lot of what Big Z mentioned applies here, choose the percussion loop that sounds the cleanest and provides the strongest foundation of your song's overall groove.

Yeah this concept is stupid

Yeah I think it's fine if you have extra percussion rhythms that are lower in the mix and fill out space. But all my favorite house songs have a main repeating rhythm using the main elements that I can pick up on

Agreed, this is nonsense, sometimes drum loops can totally transform and improve things, totally depends on the loop, its groove, how that interacts with programmed drum sounds etc. To make a blanket statement of "drum loops make your track worse" is pure clickbait dumbness

@@BigZMusic yeah for like world's most derrivate beatport house music maybe

​@@1wibble230Good lord stop being so defensive. The main point of this video is solid

nothing left to add? -- start dividing into smaller subdivisions!!

Down until infinity?

Your use of the word Techno here is a bit ambiguous, but it sounds like in your example the bass instrument is not the main rhythmic element of the track. In the video he says to build around the main rhythmic element of your track, and then he goes into his example track where the bass is that main element. In another track, such as whatever your example is, the main rhythmic element may be different instrument from the bass. A percussion part? Some other lead synth? It depends. But whatever that lead element is, build everything else around it. Even melodies have rhythms built into them and can be dissected in the same manner as in the video.

Yeah there's no problem using loops. It's just important to be aware of what rhythm those loops are adding to your track so things can fit together

Also, I noticed how cool your logo is. Who did your logo?
