- Опубликовано: 5 июн 2023
- One of the most promising acts of the contemporary Techno scene steps into the spotlight for our Tech Talk series here, namely BEC, an unfaltering talent with releases on the likes of Pan Pot’s Second State, Carl Cox’s Intec, Adam Beyer’s Drumcode, Monika Kruse’s Terminal M and Alan Fitzpatrick’s We Are The Brave since her inaugural release back in 2016.
In March of 2020 BEC also launched her own self-titled imprint with the hypnotic and thunderous ‘Time Illusion’.
Here we gather some further insight into how BEC’s raw and powerful productions come to fruition, alongside a walkthrough of the numerous tools she’s utilising in her studio both in and out of the box.

I love Tech talk vids BUT I so wish these were regular vids, I could handle one a week hahaha love em.. shame they so rare these days
Her wisdom has taken me 20 years to figure out. Great interview.
Lots of great perspectives here! I would like to begin utilizing Live with hardware in the way she does, because I can understand getting too deeply into playing around with the gear and avoiding committing those ideas in a way that moves tracks forward. I appreciate her perspective on this, because too often DAWs are treated as the inspiration killer -- but hardware can also drain energies if the work there doesn't seem to move ideas forward.
It's really great to hear someone talk in such a smart, but straightforward, way about making music.
I have the feeling that if you want to get results, focus on the DAW. If you want to daydream away, go modular 😂
great respect to hear clear approach.
I'd rather Daydream, so I'll keep it modular 👽
I can attest to this
Some good tips and insights from a professional really liked her approach...thanks!
*Great tips!*
Hey Wanderlust
She is self made, hardworking and independent music producer and DJ- love, respect and craft! ❤
Aww thank you Julia, right back at you!!! ❤❤❤
Just noticing her Mbase11, Reaktor and then talking about overdrive on all drums...you can tell she knows what's up!
she has come a long way! Nice job Bec!
Good tips on this one!
The Matrixbrute is also my go to, simply awesome!
1:20 For me, it's exactly the opposite: when I spend too much time in Bitwig Studio or Ableton Live, I'm getting lost in details and have a hard time finishing things. Interesting how different things work for everybody, individually.
Cool video, and the sound is dope!
Thank you, love your tips
That was great thanks!
Glad to see she's a Rreaktor user! even though there are multiple options available in the market right now, nothing comes close to the sound quality of Reaktor.
Great to see the MC707 getting some love!
Great video! Lots of good tips here, like recording things as audio quickly to not linger on details, arranging as one goes, trying to finish creative parts in a day etc... I'm curious about what BEC uses for sync between Ableton Live and the TR-8S and other devices with a sequencer. I'm with the ERM Multiclock, love it, just curious if it works well with other solutions.
Always interesting to get some inside views in other artist studio and workflow 👍
.....such an inspiring interview
Anyone using a TB-3 gets my support. Tb-3 users unite!
TB-3 for life 😂
She´s so cool and her music is pretty awesome :_)
i get way too bogged down by obsessing over minor tweaks, but there's a lot of good advice in this video. thank you bec!
Would be cool to see some House legends aswell. Cheers and thanks for the great work!
word
Hell yeah, she has a Matrixbrute!
Reaktor stan, nice to see
admiration :-)
I love BEC
Is that a decibel meter on the right side? Very smart, when you spend much time in the studio.
🖤
That chair!
I’m going to try starting from Arrangement, I think it could be a good idea, if I spend to long in session on a loop, I never end up arranging it because I’m out of time
You could also try to make loops; then hit rec button and record a quick sketch of an arrangement, then arrange. I do it like this. Works really well.
👍 Thanks 🙏 for ❤
Need some new mixes BEC not heard any for ages
nice!
Sie erinnert mich an ein wildes Rehkitz im Wald. Wunderschön anzuschauen.
Which Tascam mixer is that precisely?
Model 24 I think. She mentions it in her masterclass video here on YT
Model24❤
Luv Lady Producers. Great Rig.
What Desk is that?
these are really interesting to get workflow ideas
Don’t forget to be original…or not.
@@buzzheddyou can have completely different results with identical workflow - which is actually case as this ableton / daw centered hybrid setup is what vast part of producers uses nowadays from ambient to terrorcore
Desk envy

crazy how much money these producers have
It is not always about having shitload of money, it is about priorities and passion. Few years ago I was thinking if to buy a better car or to buy a synthesizer. I bought a synthesizer and was happy.
She could of acquired that gear over 10 + years. Plus as a professional you can get tax rebates on the gear you buy.
not quite. this is year of acquisition plus you can get tons of gear at "price" aka a fraction of the cost (and sometimes for free) depending on various deals and work-related trade offs. trust me, it's possible in various ways besides paying full price
I'd say she worked hard to be able to afford all of that gear, so what's your point? I doubt she's selling drugs or robbing houses on the side.
An up-and-coming European DJ famous enough to be on this program easily make 1500-5000€ per set when out playing. A good agent can get then 3-4 of those a week. Unless you create "expenses" for youself, such as building a studio, you're just giving your money away to the government for nothing.
I'm always surprised when I see pro's using the TR-8s.
I hate that thing with a passion.
It's like an expensive toy, not a proper professional drum machine, to me.
Interesting perspective! It really looks like what you decribe, but I never used one. Can you give some more details why you hate that machine so much? I got a TR-8 just because I wanted to give it a try and did not like it after the first encounter. Maybe because I anticipated it as an all-in-one-version of the 909, 808 and also both the 707 and 727. Since I have an love the original machines, the mistake I made was to compare them directly. But then, I revisited the TR-8 and approached it with a different mindset: to use it on its own. Exploring its boundaries and limits. And then when I stayed within these, I now see it as a unique Roland drum machine and for the prive it's fun and can sound and groove interesting imho.
Says the man who obviously loves Volca sample packs.
@@devawer So what ? I also use a Digitakt with thousands of samples wich I sampled myself.
@@wackerburg I don't like how you can't copy and paste sequencer pages without pausing the device.
I can't stand the fact that the TR8s has only one knob for effects per track.
The menus are really really clunky.
You can only load samples from an sd card and not straight into the device.
I only ever heard the TR8s with it's factory samples and quite frankly I always found 90% of those pretty terrible.
The pitch knob has a really low range making it basically unusable for tons of samples. The device also felt pretty cheap to the touch.
There were some more, but those are the details I remember from the top of my head.
I'm not sure if there was a way to program probabilities into the step sequencer, but I believe no, so that's also a point.
@@devawer Me?
🥱
Who the F is she?? Never heard of her... Seriously.
Is it good or bad that you've never heard of her? I'm sure there are a lot of other producers you don't know among the thousands out there. I think everyone does.
Man what an emphatically uninteresting interview!
the same shit over and over again ... why not do one bout' the new electro wave of producersand record digging culture that sorrounds it
She should date with @headlesstechno
