hey alice, I'm so grateful for your helpful videos. I haven't been making music for long but I don't want to work with a DAW. I'm trying to implement your tips with the Roland MC707. It's really very difficult and I always fail because of the sound picking, melodies and synthys that overlap.

Very nice video! I've seen so many conflicting info on this, and you nailed it here, the fact that movement in the sound is what sets this apart. Lots of jump in octaves, and lots of play with volume envelope, filter envelopes ect.

I recently discovered your channel. You are very professional. Unbelievable how you can name everything we can here in a techno music. Back in the days, Emmanuel Top - Climax, Energy 52 - Café Del Mar '98 (Three 'N One Mix), etc. They were so cool sounding techno music. Now you created same feeling for me in 2024. Keep up the good work.

I ended up her after your Anyma video popped up on my page, im so glad it did because as someone who can play instruments, has been going to raves for 30 years, but has zero idea how my favorite tracks from back in the 90's and 00's (such as Lizard by Mauro Picotto, and Binary Finary) to now loving Anyma, Rebuke ect its so interesting to see how these tracks are created. Youre a fantastic teacher, and I really liked some of your own tunes Ive seen in your videos! P.S. you really suit the blonde hair 😊

very nice!! thank you! what about the tuning of the kick in relation with the bass, you tune it root note of the track, maybe kick to root and bass to 3rd or 5th??

@Alice-Efe 2 ай бұрын

I like to tune it to either root or the 5th. But 3rd should work as well. That being said, if the kick is super short and doesnt have any audible sustained sub, it doesnt matter. Also some kicks would have constant pitch roll, those can't be "tuned" for example and can sound good in a mix. So it depends a little bit on the kick I am using. 😊

You give good tips, but I wonder what happened to melodic techno in general. Are people only using one-note offbeat basslines? were is the fun :-)

@Alice-Efe 2 ай бұрын

Robert! ❤ Thank you! It is kind of the case and the rolling basslines and 8th/dotted 8th patterns are popular in mainroom/club tracks right now. They create a driving energy that's perfect for dancing, which I've definitely experienced firsthand at clubs and festivals when I DJed too. It seems the current trend favors 'in your face' tracks, and these basslines provide the necessary power while leaving space for big leads and hooks. Of course, there's a whole world of melodic techno with diverse basslines beyond the mainstream. I like to go to Beatport hype releases and do a bit of crate digging to hear some leftfield songs in the genre. I think we are at the moment where melodic techno got so big that it has to split into sub genres to keep evolving. Like techno did.
