In our latest video, we are going to look at using XLN audio’s amazing drum machine XO. With XO, we will be looking at loading our own samples, editing samples, routing and most importantly generating our own techno beats.
We will also look at setting up XO so you can quickly load it into any session and have a beat going in minutes which is perfect for people with little time on their hands.
With the invention of the modern daw which is an all-encompassing workstation with a whole of host of controls, instruments and audio effects (plus so much more) it has never been easier to start making music. Almost all the effects have the parameter controls you could ever wish for. But sadly some do not (like redux), but for the Ableton user this is never a worry, we can simply make them ourself.
How do we do this I hear you ask, well in this how-to tutorial we are going to be showing you how to make a Dry/Wet control for redux. This is hugely important in the sound design, production and even the mixing stage. It allows you to be able to dial in the exact amount of your chosen effect.

In the Mind Flux studios, we love to experiment with our outboard gear like the Juno 6, Moog, 101 and more, by loading them into our favourite sampler… sampler (in Ableton) and using the various advanced controls, like FM oscillator, aux envelopes and loopers.
Moog big bass is perfect for techno, drum & bass, dubstep and any gritty genres.

With Techno its all about experimentation and within Techno over, the last 3 decades producers have continually pushed the boundaries of the musical norms. One clear example of this is making bass lines from soaking your kick in reverb a practise which in all music engineering books is frowned upon.
But let's be honest the grey-haired folk who wrote these books have probably never been to a club in their lifes and therefore have never embraced the gut rumbling power this technique can provide.
We at Mind Flux have created an audio effects rack for Ableton that has adapted this power. The rack has a selection of tools that allow you to easily create techno rumbling kick drums that will leave your studio walls shaking. Simply load a kick of your choice and let it roll.

One of the hardest things to mix in music for most producers and artists is kick and bass, this is mainly due to the fact that these two elements require a lot of the same space in the frequency spectrum and if you get the bass and kick wrong it can take all the energy out of the track. Which can be rather demoralising
Well, don't threat, In this how-to, we will look to help with these issues and show some key steps on how to get your kick and bass sitting perfectly together. And once this is done, it can make the rest of your mixing job way more enjoyable.
What you will learn in this techno music production tutorial is:
Tuning
EQ
Compression
Dynamic EQ
NYC Compression
Bass Programming
