Tribal Techno

Let us hear you!

I for one think more people should be posting more stuff on here, it's very cool and inspirational listening to what everyone makes.

I'm no expert, and certainly not on techno (!) but it sounds pretty good to me. I won't go into the technical bits that I have no idea about obviously, but if I may suggest one thing to try, it would be to introduce some of that nice filtered pluck synth (filtering in at about 1:40 or so) earlier in the track as well - not necessarily the same pattern, just something with that sound to tie it a little together and hint of what's to come?

Perhaps.

This is gonna be interesting! 

Just to be sure, a 'banger' here is purely defined as a song I myself really like, right? Don't need to be very well known or acclaimed or anything?

RIght, updated the track to a full version. Not sure it got as minimalist as Rob wished, but yeah ... I'm getting carried away a bit.

Hi @nigel 
Others might correct me if I'm totally wrong, but I think you'll find gain staging your vst's and samples is good practice. Having them all coming in at a certain level just makes everything easier. Not least easier to control volume levels with faders. Faders are best operated close to unity, since it gives better resolution (db scale is logarithmic so same increment move at the lower end of the fader will yield significantly higher db gain/reduction as at unity).

Trying my luck with some tech house style - while watching Simon Shackleton's course (which is really good btw!)

Since Rob encouraged me to start off with the groove only, I hereby oblige. This is the beats and bass from what I hope will be the drop section (gonna be 16+16, but only included 8+8).

Drums are samples I found and processed a bit. Bass rhythm is adapted from a sample, but I used two instances of Vital to create the sound for it - and of course some EQ, compressors and distortion.

Now waiting with bated breath for the 'judgement'
