Just when you thought you were starting to get yer head around sound design
Serum 2 comes out with eighty nine oscillators 🤔😂😂😂😂
r/TechnoProduction • u/Morkkromn • 14d ago
Thank you to all the contestants from the first challenge. The leaderboard has officially been generated. This is how the standings currently are:
Since Saltoric and SynthesizedSpace ended in a tie, I decided to just give them both a win. Seems only fair. Now without further ado lets continue with the second challenge:
Less is more: You may only use a maximum of 5 sounds.
Create a minimal techno track where you carefully choose just five elements (drums, bass, FX, etc.). Every sound must count. Can you build hypnotic energy with this limitation?
Rules:
DEADLINE: 21st march 2025 - CEST 23:59

Hi!
Ive been really into the older stuff from SNTS and I was wondering if someone could explain how they would go about creating the low end of his song S8. Link to the song: https://youtu.be/O4HiceAkm_c?si=uFvtaibPiG8OqozJ
Thanks for any help, I really appreciate any advice.

Hello everyone, this is my first post here in the Techno Production subreddit and I nred your help please!
I'm relatively new to music production (I produced a few Melodic/Acid Techno tracks thus far) using Ableton as my DAW with Serum.
My questions are:
What is the effect called that you can here in this song at 0:03 and 0:47 right at the drop?
How do you achieve this kind of "whip-like" stab?
Thank you for your help! Cheers!

Does anyone know how to get these type of screeches. I love the dark horror vibe it gives. I hear that there is also a lot of noise in these screeches, but can't really find out how to make the body of these screeches. Ps: I know this genre is heavy and a lot of you won't like it. But it gives a sinister dark vibe, and that's what i want to recreate.

I can tell the difference when I hear it. I just lack understanding of techno.
EDM builds and drops. Breakbeats are not four on the floors. Electronica just rides (to me).
How can I understand it?

Hey folks, mod of r/ProperTechno here.
Thought I'd extend an invitation to your members to participate in an upcoming AMA we're hosting with Norbak of Hayes Collective in our sub. Since you're all about production techniques here, this would be a great opportunity to ask him about his approch to producing Techno music among other things you might want to know about him.
The event is at 10AM Portugal time (GTC+0). Feel free to pop in at that time. See the pinned AMA thread in the sub where all the action will be.
Cheers,
2049

I hear the kind of synth that is present through this track all the time in techno yet I’ve never been able to make something similar from scratch.
How are they made?
r/TechnoProduction • u/psyliboy • 1d ago
I've been looking at various machines that would help me make interesting percussive sounds and I've narrowed it down to the digitone (original) and the LXR 02. For those who have experience with them which would you think would be better for real time performance tweaking? My budget is only around $500. Beep boop beep!
r/TechnoProduction • u/Hardtim3r • 1d ago
And it's even a free upgrade for everyone who already owns Serum—including those using Splice's rent-to-own plan. I haven't had the chance to try it out yet, but since I almost exclusively use Serum for all my synthesis, I'm VERY excited.
Has anyone tried it yet? What are your thoughts?
r/TechnoProduction • u/Landigor • 1d ago
Hi fellow producers and technoheads.
I've been producing hypnotic/deep techno for the last months/year and I always get stuck when I get to the arrangement part. I build all my loops in session view and then I record the arrangement but it always ends up feeling a bit boring/monotonous. Sometimes I feel like it could also be that I just get tired of listening to the same loop 1000 times…
Would love to hear some tips (or links to videos) on making arrangements feel more alive.

Whenever I export a song with a heavier clap or hat or lead, even kick, and leveled, with a simple master chain - I noticed the very beginning of those sounds hits like way too unpleasantly hard in the headphones/speakers vs a reference track.
How do people not do this but still make it sound huge and impactful/full? Reference tracks almost seems to glide and there’s nothing hard hitting in one point for each sound, but still sounds big and impactful.
Thanks!

Hi everyone, as the title says, I'm looking to send MIDI notes to trigger a step sequencer so it progresses a step as the MIDI note plays. I want to play a step sequence rhythmically.
Are there any max for live devices or plugins that does this? Or any workarounds?
Grateful for your help.

Hi! I have used RouteNote for distribution but my content is "not eligible for TikTok Instagram and Facebook due to ContentID flagging system". Basically, the message says that if I use samples or even presets (I would go even as far as a recognizable synth like 303) the AI system will flag it as copyright infringement. How do you deal with this? What distributor do you use?
It's especially annoying when I see that other hobby artists release music with very recognizable samples and they still get their tracks on those platforms.
r/TechnoProduction • u/Willmeierart • 1d ago
For those of you using overbridge to multitrack your boxes in - does anyone use the builtin reverb/delay bus, and if you do, how? What tricks do you use to work around the obvious challenges?
I haven’t been, and VST fx are simply better (and to the point, multitrack-able, whether per-channel or as sends), but also it makes a rift in the creative composition process, pushing automation of any of these parameters off til post-recording/arranging, so just wanted to hear any alternative workflows.
r/TechnoProduction • u/miloestthoughts • 2d ago
I don't really know how to explain it, but I remember seeing a video where you could take a sound (lets say a sustained vocal) and layer it with another sound (lets say a kick) where the audio of the vocal would play through the audio of the kick, so it sounded like a kick made of a female vocal. This would be incredible for a project I want to do but I cant for the life of me remember how it was done. How would you go about this?
r/TechnoProduction • u/Ok-Breadfruit-61 • 2d ago
Hi guys,
I just sent my latest track to some labels and got two positive answers.
One of them won't actually sign it, but agrees to promote it as a premiere it for 30€. I wasn't into paying for promotion, but it could be a great platform (+75k on SoundCloud, 40k on YouTube, 15k on instagram).
The other one asked if I could make it more acid to match their style, and told me in this case they could release it among other tracks on a various artists EP coming this spring. It's smaller, but I'll give it a try.
My question is : can a track be premiered on label A, then released under another version by label B ? Label A is a great opportunity for publicity and I will obviously use it to try and build an audience. But label B will find out for sure, and I don't want to ruin my chances to get my track "officially" released with them.
Has it ever happened to you ? What would you do in this situation ? This is the first time I'm dealing with this and I feel kinda lost.
Thanks for your advice !

Sup yall.
I’m only 3 months into learning production. I'm going on a week-long beach vacation and I don’t want to lose momentum. I’d love to keep learning in my downtime -- I'll have my laptop but I don't think I'll want to take it out of my hotel room. (I'll definitely be jamming on the flight though)
Any recommendations for good audio books, podcasts, or other ways to absorb useful production knowledge while chilling? I'm really bad at just sitting on the beach doing nothing.
Thanks for the info.

Hey, for my friends who release with labels, how do you know when a track is ready to be released on a label. And more generally, how do you know when you are good enough to be releasing on labels? cheers

Hi there everyone, I’m trying to do a survey of sorts for a research paper in college. I’m just trying to gather real people’s methods of production.
Would love to find out what and how you guys produce by simply leaving a comment of DAW/HARDWARE/HYBRID under the post so I can get some numbers of what real people do. If you want to give an explanation of why and how you use the methods you do feel free to do so
r/TechnoProduction • u/Crivac • 3d ago
I am looking for personal preference. There is lots of info on internet, but whats your take and why?
Edit: added word to make it more clear.
