Let's talk about where you're going.

There are a lot of really great RA podcasts. If you like the more heady techno type stuff, then you'd probably like the recent Skudge podcast.

Yeah, that Skudge mix is quality.

If you like that, you'll likely enjoy this Objekt mix on URB. http://www.urb.com/2013/04/30/objekt-exclusive-mix/

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
I could watch videos of Octave One all day, they just look so happy :allears:

Unrelated, but Henry Saiz's album is finally out! Jump on it, this poo poo is hot!

I've been turned off by Dubfire's 'production' since I found out Matt Nordstrom ghostwrites all his stuff.

Ugh. As someone who has spent a decent chunk of time learning to make music, hearing about big name artists using a ghostwriter disgusts me. These people are pulling in huge money through their bookings, music sales etc, and can't even be bothered to write the music they are putting their name on? They don't even have to go to a regular 9-5 like most of the people I know producing music do.

Matt was the studio engineer for Deep Dish since about 2003, got a Grammy nomination with them for remix work, also has a degree for audio engineering. He's in L.A., two years now, because of Nadastrom taking off. Music production, engineering and DJ'ing is his job.

It's kind of a slippery slope with these "ghost-writing" issues. Obviously having an engineer master your tracks is acceptable but what about doing the mixdown? (see the recent interview by Silent Servant where he discusses this). Not sure exactly who did what with Dubfire/Matt.

The mixdown is definitely acceptable - a mixing engineer can be just as important as a mastering engineer. See also the interview with Function where he discusses tobias mixing his.

It's way more prevalent than you think. Also believe it or not some people don't want the traveling dj lifestyle.

Well I think I'm finally back to normal mental capacity. Last weekend I saw (in order): Hans Bouffmyhre, Gary Beck, Pan-Pot (only one of them, the other had a tooth abcess), Julio Bashmore, Len Faki, Animal Farm, Clouds, Henrik Schwarz (live set), Joris Voorn (best set of the weekend), Nic Fanciulli, Booka Shade (live set, unreal) and Josh Wink. Sunny festival techno is the best techno.

Does anyone here produce using Ableton? I've just started using it and I was wondering what the best tutorials to check out were. Also if anyone has any of their productions on Soundcloud share them as I'd love to hear them.

I do everything in Ableton and my soundcloud is here http://soundcloud.com/ttinga (Thanks for the opportunity to spam it:)). You can learn a lot in Ableton just mousing over stuff and seeing what comes up in helpview.

Oranj is a banger man, I'm desperate to get to that level of production.

I'm always interested in hearing techno & tech-house from users on here so spam your Soundclouds!

Going up from this one everything is more experimental/less refined, below it is more club friendly tracks. I'll be doing a wipe of everything shortly and starting clean with a few tracks I have in progress now.

Ableton's in-built tutorials are more than enough to learn the software - the only thing you'll learn from external tutorials is production tips that would apply to any other DAW (or even hardware/audio)

I think you are getting the hang of it - it sounds pretty good. Needs a bit more of a hook to make it stand out though. But if you are just getting started you are definitely on the right track.

Thanks for the feedback, that seems like the general consensus of everyone that's listened to it.

This thread has been quiet so I'm going to dump lots of tunes here and you're all going to like them

Astronivo - Rost (Alberto Pascual Remix) A simple bouncey techno number with no long breakdowns
Massimo Girardi - Little Helper 75-6 Haunting tech-house
UMEK - Love To Dance UMEK is usually hit and miss for me (mostly miss) but this is definitely a hit. The hip-hop vocals and tech-house combo always works
Pig & Dan - On Edge Techno bordering on minimal
NSound - Lavitsh Hawtin used to play this out a lot and somehow made it seem more substantial than it actually is, because it's really really minimal
Kolsch - Loreley I will forever associate this song with stomping around a sunny field at a festival. Absolute banger

Here is an inquisitive paragraph if anyone feels like giving me their 2 cents.

I'm kind of a scrub who doesn't get to go to see as many (good) Djs out as I'd like. Do a lot of them mix Tech and Deep house tracks? How much blurring is there between genres? feel free to chime in with your own personal favorite DJ of the moment's habits, I'm very interested. Also how often do they incorporate their own songs into their mixes, and if they do, how much is too much/expected?
