Electronic Music Tutorial (How to write beats)

This is part 1 of a 10 hour long high definition tutorial video series on how to write electronic music, from scratch!

All aspects are covered.... basic and advanced synthesis... sampling... progression... mixing... everything is explained in depth as I construct a tune while you watch. I talk to you like your sitting next to me, thinking out loud, cracking jokes and moving at the right pace, rather than focusing on boring shit.

My goal is to get you producing good music as fast as possible.

I've been performing electronic music around the world for years, and have much experience in production and the electronic music industry, I'm not just some guy who knows how to use a computer.

The rest of this series is available to special members of my personal website, you can check it out here.

Wow, this is by far the most helpful and extensive tutorial I've ever had the pleasure of viewing. Thank you for sharing your expertise so thoroughly and comprehensively. I've learned more from this video than I would from dozens of others combined.

@cosmcosm allright so im sorry for that question,i just found out what the problem was but my bass sounds really low filtered,,i dont know why,yours sounds more cleaner and with the filter freq higher even if i made the same you did...

This is definitely inspiring and truly great and in depth series of tutorials, but one thing keeps bugging me. There is so much tutorials about using many different DAWs but what about learning music? I am talking about music theory, playing keyboard, theory of rythm, melodies, scales etc. In your opinion is it important to know this stuff?

@SuperLongAssUsername allright i think i found the solution,you need to change the settings of the amp1 at 12:44 !

@cosmcosm i really need some help,at the begginning bass how come you dont have reverb on it ? how could i get it off the analog,sorry i know its a dumb question but i just moved to ableton from fl studio :(

@SuperLongAssUsername same happens to me...i think he has something set so he doesnt have a reverb on the bass,i really need help with that too.

[SuperLongAssUsername]

This is gonna sound like a dumb ass question but how come when connecting them together i cant get a continuous dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooo it only does it once at the beginning example - 24:51 :((
