Creating your own techno beats and grooves sounds pretty “easy” at first glance. We immediately think of the typical “four-to-the-floor” groove. But that’s true. Such a simple construction can get boring very fast. And this isn’t techno at all! The tracks come to life through little movements in the sound and can remain exciting for several minutes, even though not much seems to be happening to our eyes (or rather our ears). That’s why I’d like to show you my approach to the most important part of this music genre in my studio... The post Techno Beats in Ableton Live Made Easy! appeared first on gearnews.com.

Copycat producers will also try and replicate the popular sounds, too. If this is not something you are interested in doing and want to make a real name for yourself, here are a few t…
