How to Be a Professional DJ : How to Create a Techno Song

[jkk45]

"Techno" is also commonly confused with generalized descriptors, such as electronic music and dance music.[

-wikipedia

[hoppkanin]

.... There's a HUGE difference between being a DJ and a producer...

[ddrusa]

make some trance songs

[FrostbiteCinemaYT]

@KlinchNetwork I don't get how to use FL Studio. D:

[rekaepa]

@FrostbiteCinemaYT Consult the Manual -__-

*Trust me it helps :)

[josewuzhawk]

When u used the piano is it connected to the computer or how did u record the audio of it?

[Glochtar]

@josewuzhawk Midi Controller

[rekaepa]

1. It's Producer not DJ

2. Techno died years ago but if you're referring to trance,hardstyle then SAY SO!

[honypop]

@rekaepa techno never dies?

[rekaepa]

@honypop Disco was the foundation for 80's Techno with it's "4 to the floor" beat then later 80's Techno/House created the sub-genres of today. (Trance,Hardstyle,Dubstep,etc.­.)

[honypop]

@rekaepa still i don't think techno died :)

[loleo123]

@rekaepa look at the year the movie came out :D

[TheFireLadz]

@rekaepa sure its dj, learn to produce a simple song really fast is part of it, so you can play around with it at the club.

[rekaepa]

@TheFireLadz Thats a Producers job. All a DJ is doing is mixing on stage as the tracks go. (True Dj's anyway >.> )

Now a Producer/DJ like tiesto,armin van buuren, wildstylez, spacefrog, is different..

[InfiniteGUNRR]

@rekaepa Techno- is any of various styles of dance music characterized by electronic sounds and a high-energy, rhythmic beat. For ex. Dance, House, Trance, Dubstep ex.

SFTU cause techno is still going strong.

[xT3cHn0L0v3Rx]

This is great, i agree to ShilohPepBand! But how is the program u re using called?

[ValatoSify]

Haha, more like...noobvillage.

[DJPaddy643]

What an absolute tool

[DJwalaLopez]

if your making a song shouldnt this be called how to be a professional producer? dj's mix music and producers make ! theres a diffrence !

[ZombieBM]

CUAL ES EL NOMBRE DEL PROGRAMA ;)

[ZombieBM]

CUAL ES EL NOMRE DEL SECUENCIADOR ? ME GUSTARIA BUSCARLO PARA BAJARLO ;)

[jaimiecurrie]

I watch these videos to see how they have failed this time haha

[DUTCHboyADDICTED]

techno and Americans is not a good combination

[HiddenDataFilms]

@DUTCHboyADDICTED Oh my. No no my friend. Techno is good anywhere except for ExpertVillage. All of there videos are crap. Americans really love techno music ;) but not as much as my country here in Germany.

[mixdude9212]

its funny cause you know this EXPERT VILLAGE guy probably spent all week trying to make this beat....than just played it off like he just made it

[GlowinGeometries]

tubi rubi rubi rubi tuba ruba ruba ruba tubi tubi rubirubi tuba ruba ruba ruba done.

[117DJAckson]

hahahaha FAIL

[lowrider692]

thx man...

[djb1a2k3]

ffs!! ppl shut the fuck up...this guy is a realy pr0 man.. he know he's stuff... that is the bascis of a thecno song.. så fuck off

[Antonyo1003]

all these dumb people... this is actually a [very basic] techno beat...

[jkk45]

how is this techno, its house

[TheArild31]

YOU SUCK BLAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Vdeogamer]

I think it should've kept going. The beat by itself was fine, but they should've shown how to add in lead synth and stuff like that.

[damaoker]

this is even bigger fail than justin bieber

[airborne101st45]

Fail, much?

[turneroundng]

this isnt techno

[DjOttsel1234]

lol?

[NeutralGuy100]

I think we've discovered that "DJ Fuckhead" Henry Rollins was talking about XD

[MinimalZOMBEE]

is this a parodie or something like that??

nice setup but for what is it good if you are just a bit to stupid for that?

youre a pain in the ass

[11JAMESTOMAS11]

at 1:08 it has -_-

[mw2king89]

sounds like my dad in the bathroom.

[Riffraff360]

@mw2king89 what did you say ? XD

[MrHornyHippo]

yu clealry had no idea wat yu wer doing with the bass yu just hit keys that are 2 notes apart yu did the exact same thing for the hip hop bassline

[JuLew3105]

...

[Inmateshardstyle]

How is any beginner supposed to learn something from this?! :'')

Also, you ain't going to be a professional DJ by making a song. A DJ is still someone who SPINS music, not MAKES it. ExpertFailage...

[beatsanctuary]

@Inmateshardstyle Agree 100%!!

[Kahandran]

Wow... I learned... nothing...

[Brianhz1211]

holy sweet jesus!!! 138714 videos

[Xelorator]

"now i have a basic baseline for a basic beat...that's basically basic"

[arcticbeat]

djs have nothing to do with producing songs, they maybe mix songs and make remixes at the best, but producers produce songs, djs play them :)

[04tm34l3]

so i was fucking around in my shitty ass software studio... and i figured out how to make a techno beat... NOW LET ME UPLOAD IT TO EXPERT VILLAGE

[ZebraGurl1035]

thats so cool! question,when you like add the beat thing in and you add the piano in do you here the notes in your head or are you just guessing?

[aggi999]

@ZebraGurl1035 He knows ho to play a piano

[arcticbeat]

@aggi999 .... he knows 3 basic notes that go together..

[MikebeatZ]

lol americans and their " i think i know everything" mentality ...fuck this man! not techno.. not cool!

[JohnColtraneisJC]

@MikebeatZ hey fuck you. you can't make a generalization about 300 million people based on a few people's actions.

[Kahandran]

@MikebeatZ lol yeah i totally agree wait I'm american shit

[domSUFC]

What was the purpose of this video :/

[Spritekiller95]

This was a great tutorial! Awesome 5/5.

[creed1299]

Maybe we should let deadmau5 handle this tutorial. . .

[djb1a2k3]

Exspertvillage... just a fast comment thats says it straict out...

it's a massaga that i think everyone wants to say you gys. it is : OMFGGG!! GET THE FUCK OFF FROM YOUTUBE!!!!!! OMGGg is it Possible to be more stupid. go make g** p*** or somthing like that.

hope my comment didnt hurt u gys

[NielsHammersMusic]

lol easy money for this guy

[WowzaBoyz]

my baby bro makes more banging beats on his 5 key animal keyboard.

[utsavman47]

yeah i heard dozens of guys say that that this dude sucks ,but i wanna learn to be a dj , so where do i go ? any suggestions

[DJSillzor]

LOL AT YOU YOU FUCKIN RETARD. god damn this would not help a beginner. what the fuck is with the hihats? like seriously that was the worst beat i've ever fucking heard.

[JSSJR90]

Song sucks! I could make a better one in 10 min. in FL studio.

[klimzo]

that was shit, no offence.. i got 3 reasons why i didn't like it..

1 the kick didn't have much in it /:

2 if you wanna make a lead there should be a basic melodi on the lead :S

3 the hats should out and you should try to put the hats reserved and make a reverse bass :b

[swedishtraceur]

I love the shitty samples!

[jaytopcat007]

this guy cant be more than 34 years old, so at best he started when he was...15? Why has no one heard of these so called performances...? I thought miami was all about latin flavored music and house in the style of erick morillo and roger sanchez.. Unless hes the type that just sums up all electronic music as techno.. Ehhhhhhthis is sh!t

[HardLiquor145]

That was it? 15 years and thats what u got to show? dude seriusly i dont know who buys your stuff..

[aquality12]

kick sucks

[Infectedmushroomz]

Wow...

your such a noob

[blubbergubberblubber]

öhm okay the best tut everywhere to teach you how to make a 4x4 kick "pattern" with claps hats and a boooooring base...thank you so much now im ready to create my own techno song like this and i will be a rich dj LOL...

*ironie off*

[thedarkside0007]

stfuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu i can tech u how to make a song u r freakin noob

[DJMC5ive]

What is the point of a 2 minute tutorial that teaches you almost nothing? That is a waste of time. However at least they tried ^.^ I guess that counts for something?

[Han5Christian]

best track ever!!!!!!

[ShilohPepBand]

i dont understand why everyone is putting bad comments. This guy showed what went in to a basic basic techno song in 2 minutes. im not complaining

[matthew115s]

NICE MAN! hey what do you use to make beats? i use virtual DJ an u?

[Duredax]

@matthew115s He's using ableton live.

[MikeezyTV]

"They usually make it before they go out." lol no they actually make the song in the club[sarcasm]! Lol XD

[DJACKfive]

Fu...k me that sucked

[mannyevs]

i actually found this very useful thanx doode..

[007luke666]

EPIC FAIL!

[cartesiaLive]

no doubt the studio this guy works at gets a tax break or govt assistance for employing him, since he's so 'special'.

[kagenooni]

Lrn2Techno asshole. This is just another generic craptacular house track. All these so called DJs piss me off when they cant even name music genres right.

Obviously they don't love the music enough to learn proper genre naming..

[camtheman499videos]

that is a really bad midi controller! get the axiom 49 for 300 bucks instead of that for 100 with way less features. Or get a good korg or yamaha for 1-3 thousand bucks with way better features!

[FatalityMovies]

1 word...FAILURE

[Pettemusic]

öhm... war das alles?

[Chukkz2]

@Pettemusic Yup. :D

[ClyderManHTID]

pretty pointless video. not much described here

[DJSillzor]

wow. that was beyond fail.

[KOOLESTVideos]

this is a typical stereotype...people look at his equpment and assum hes pro. im prety sure george bush can buy that stuff but i bet he cant make good techno music. i make good songs using bunch of free programs and fl and a 100$ keyboard. person makes beats not equipment

[sahmlol]

I laughed so fucking hard at this

[zawaser]

wow horrible beat

[ClTIZEN]

hahaha that is the worst techno beat ive ever heard this guy doesnt have a fucking clue what he's doing I can make better music than that with a pair of spoons.

[Andiv81]

@ClTIZEN

Agreed. He obvioulsy hasn't got a bloody clue or he'd never have agreed to be associated with that pissh in the first place. He's probably the tea-boy at a studio or something and sneaked in when the boss was out!

Weak skills. He looks as naff as his musical taste suggests too. I'll bet he uses the BPM counter on his CDJ's too.

[cartoonloc]

and expertvillage fks up another one

[BeNjI123698745]

@cartoonloc

HAHAHAHHAHH I LOVE IT :D

Please try that would be fucking hilliarious... then we can make a facebook group and decide if your musical spoons are better than this shit...

[hahahahahasjovt]

hehe, pro? ;P

[redswitch23]

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA, wait a minute, what??

[CIIDFLOGGERBEAT]

yeah is very nice!!!

[stevenrjj]

LoL

[Azeckwazion]

[christopherjgoh]

[UberShadow666]

[TheTigerer56]

Lame. Retarded! ha-ha.

[DjDjdanny]

fuckinhg bullshit

[bourne2020]

this should be the first video to come up when you type the word "retarded"

[To6yandChr1s]

this video should be titled "how to create a retarded techno beat [no programs inc. :D]

[mrlarskrimi]

lol

[WokmonDJ]

this is techno however i wouldn't first off call this technop would label it more of a house mix with the more electronic sound to it i find techno to be more tancy that electro'y :P

if you like dubstep check out my mix and subscribe to my uploads will be putting many more up in the next few weeks

[Blakamo]

How the fuck do you call this...... noise .... techno.

[Intotheorchard]

@Blakamo Considering techno consists of extremely easy to come up with 4/4 beats, that rarely offer any variety, silly melodies a child could write, and zero ability to play any instrument at all, I would say this isn't really insulting techno.

[Sjors900]

what program do you use?

[NicoderJunge]

Ableton Live

[dbeatk]

UM......ok, it was good, but, what are u using for the sounds and song? or beat. i dunno.

[KeeshKannibal]

preatty good for a beat made in 1 minute.

[axidbrrp]

This is dope! You got some mad skillz!

[trancemusicbaby]

@axidbrrp hahahahahha LMAO ! Yes, He does! Real professional :D:D

[softhaus]

you are fucking dumb. producing music as nothing to do with being dj. would you mind stay in your stupid shit and the real creator create and teach?

[Quakmaor]

Some of the funniest shit I've ever seen. Are you fucking serious?

[jiveur]

Your master is in the RED. This is sound 101, never get in the red dude.

[pselodux]

[eggsbened1ct]

"Bio: Cliff "DJ Hurricane" Melerine is the music production instructor at Scratch Miami. He has more than 15 minutes experience performing, producing and engineering music."

..Fixed..

[DJSillzor]

@eggsbened1ct LOOOOOOL, fuck that made me laugh.

[sneaksta303]

youtube is awesome FOR THIS

[anstromm]

if this guy is just joking, then he's my favorite person ever. if he's serious, then...

[DjZeroDxy]

wow horrible man producing and djin are two different things

[DJCRISIS111]

fail... gay go be a real DJ

[DjMystixx]

Well, you've better could make the tutorial some longer. People are also interested in melodies. And maybe some more percussions, synths or anything in that direction. A bassline gives structure, but a small intro melody wich is before the main one gives a nice touch to it. This are some tips If you guys are making more tutorials in the future.

// Dj Mystixx

[TGP1994]

proffesional porn song ;-)

[KAMIJUSTIN]

[BorderHopper408]

Ableton live is a waste of money ur hella limited cant do shit

[Birke1981]

This is the sound of themicrophone of the camera. So it just can't sound right...

Compressing... Why does everybody want to compress everything??? Learn what compressors are doing...

[airborne101st45]

i make a lot better beats with fl studio

[DaftPunkHawthorn23]

same here

[BassShoter]

OMG ;) BassShooter says Hi CA its just a demo lol

[Kroax200]

It´´s really good, but ehe, the beat doesnt sounds as techno, try use Fruity Loops Studio 7 :P // DJ Kroax(SWEDEN). :P lox

[MrZonoX]

SWE ftw

[GEKSI45]

[flamefingerz14]

[elementswrath]

i wish i had his toys, i woulda done better with them.

[ItsPureWill]

you could use FL Studio. You dont need all that fancy shit he's got around him.

[48kbrain]

"all that fancy shit" lol

[DJJazzyFlashBooty]

I really can't get over how bad this is.

[bablouche]

I agree...

It's pretty much insulting.

Some of the techno pioneers would undoubtedly literally punch this guy in the face is they got half a chance.

[DJJazzyFlashBooty]

Wow.

You suck.

[geostigma123]

The most scary part in this vid.

He's actually diggin that "techno" beat, you can see it on his smile. He feels like he has accomplished something big.

P00r kid... .... Even potheads make great music, and he can't.

I don't know if i'm supposed to cry or laugh because this is really hitting me hard in the gut.

[ShapeshifterMusic]

Lol. This dude doesn't even know what techno is. Was this supposed to teach me something?

[RoofLifter]

Gotta agree with everyone else...

This guy seems to be a kid with some expensive toys and lack of skills-.-

[lavrentijs]

BULLL SHITTTTTT!!!

[blubbergubberblubber]

i haven't learn something new from this vid...i work with fruity loops and this demo songs showes more as this vid...i have thought that expert village have great tutorials but this is a fuckin' mess sry...

[marblo85]

sux

[b00mface]

you're awesome! i totally needed this, i had no idea how to do that!
