I just don't think I am built to make Techno.
Re: I just don't think I am built to make Techno.
first thing i thought when i read Stacies op was that i am the same. i can't make what i want either. i listen to a track and it sounds great, sparse, banging, whatever. but when i sit in front of the computer i end up with derivations of tracks i have been making for years.Mattias wrote:Before I comment I look forward to the wisdom that Winston may have to offer in his uniquely eloquent way.
not digweed tracks, but (poor quality) underworld b-sides. can't seem to make a sweaty-club techno track to save myself.
it's tough, i empathise with everyone who is saying the same. i feel like quitting too, but i always have to give it one more go.
Re: I just don't think I am built to make Techno.
Fancy an experiment? Make a track under these constraints:
- 135 BPM
- max 10 individual tracks
- distortion on *every* track (you decide the amount, but it should be audible)
- no reverbs
- no delays
- timebox: 4 hours
GO!

BTW.. in case anyone is wondering; I banned Stacie. She wasn't built to make Techno.

Hahaha
Click bait or not, there are some great inspirational points in this thread.
Re: I just don't think I am built to make Techno.
Awww guys.
Thank you so much for all the replies, words of wisdom, assurances that I have made techno before, advice and general awesomeness.
When I was in Thailand I typed out a MASSIVE reply to everyone, up until near the end of page 2 but I had to restart my machine and I lost it all
I will do my best to try and remember what I said but I can't recreate the whole thing.
I had some time to have a bit of a word with myself. I need to simply try harder. I think I sometimes lose sight of what I really, musically enjoy listening to compared to what I am making (that is not to say that I don't LOVE making music in general, it is really the most helpful and best thing I can do to stay on a level)
I managed to pin-point some reasons why *that* kind of sound is happening. I am shit at bass, just fundamentally shit. I need to be better.
I love putting a good arp and I am sucker for a breakbeat
I will come back to do a less shit reply. I am still suffering from travelling.
Big love guys, you are all awesome <3
Ronnie, that looks good! I'll do that for sure!
Lulz, Críoch I have been away

Innovine, clickbait??
Ok.
Ok.
Re: I just don't think I am built to make Techno.
Pretty lady links to her soundcloud, voices her dispair, and all the white knights have a listen. If it aint clickbait then just ignore my cynical old 2c.StacieAnne wrote:Innovine, clickbait??

Re: I just don't think I am built to make Techno.
Where are the links to my Soundcloud? The only link you could be referring to is the mix link in my signature, which contains none of my own productions.
What does gender have to do with it??

Re: I just don't think I am built to make Techno.
I didn't look closely, but assumed a few of the non-mix tracks on your soundcloud were the original productions you wwre referring to.
No one said gender had anything to do with anything, apart from you.

Yeah, you did. Would have have even mentioned it if I was male?? Doubtful as you have a notion in your head that I was attention-seeking and looking for a bit of a pat on the back about the tracks I didn't post.
Re: I just don't think I am built to make Techno.
Naa. "lady" is a reference to sex. "white knight" is a reference to gender, ie, the masculine and feminine roles society usually assigns to a particular sex. But if someone WAS attention seeking, they could do worse than put a pic of a nice lady on their soundcloud page and then ask around on nerdy forums for opinions, right? Gets a few clicks and followers. Seen it happen. I make no judgment as to your sex and/or gender whatsoever, but sex sells, that's the way it is. Did you have a point, or are you just as good at derailing threads as I am?

Re: I just don't think I am built to make Techno.
It’s ok Críoch, to be honest, I am really glad that innovine has called me out.
It was such hard work keeping up the pretence that I was actually here to talk about Techno and it’s production techniques with a view to become a more competent producer and learn from the vast experience of other members on the board.
If you would all be kind enough to hop over to my social media and give me a like and a follow I would be really grateful;
