'Let's patch': Dub Techno from scratch / Ableton 10 [LP#01]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- I've been asked: "How do you start a new project, program sounds for movement?"
Starting from scratch, blank project, no presets, only Ableton devices/Analog - hopefully gives you an idea. This is an explorative approach, nothing particular in mind. Goal: discovering something sonicly interesting that moves over time. A foundation for a potential new track.
What I'd like YOU to do:
The video contains a lot of uncommented tweaking. If there's a part you find interesting, have any questions about or would like to hear more thoughts: let me know in the comments! I'll answer them in the next video. And: there are NO stupid questions.
Here's the project file (contains a version from before and after the break):

This isn't a "how to" video. It's far more than that. It's a meditation. Love it, love your attitude to it, your deep tension with it. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for your warm words, Paul! Made my day :)
30+ minutes work on the chord. its a church man, not a meditation.
@@theVAULT909 ngl i mix a lot of Dub Techno and dub reggae into my Dubstep stuff tbh no cap
Ronny, I sat through the process and it was like being with a friend rather than a RUclips tutorial, I enjoyed your musical approach but more importantly it was a pleasure to spend the time in good company.
Oh by the way Subbed
Thank you very much, Mark!
Hands down the best dub techno "meditation" video on RUclips. Keep them coming, Ronny!
Thank you ver much! I'm especially glad you understood it as meditation and not tutorial :)
That EQ Three discovery is genius. You have quite the set of ears sir
Wow. No fancy equipment, just knowledge, experience and pure music. Thanks for sharing!
good noise, well taught without annoying attitude often found on youchoob
just finished this tutorial, & following along,,,, took me a few days :') but i am so glad i found your channel, really love the patient, explorative approach. subscribed and so excited to watch more!!
Loved this a lot! Please start making these videos on RUclips again ...
This is brilliant, the best 2 hours I've spend this week. Inspirational, technical and musical all way long. I'm glad I found you because I will catch up following sessions for sure.
Thank you very much!!!
outstanding vid, and reassuring to see the angst of the producer, is something to be navigated at all skill levels!
Owwww I was trying to do it, but I have to say is so hard to make with the TRUE quality like yours Ronny, I need to learn so much , Thank you very much for this video Ronny, you are a genius. Congratulation.
Very Special Indeed, There is so much Goodness going on here ... Thankyou Ronny
Please do not stop making these! I took away quite a bit of valuable information and I can tell you are vastly knowledgeable regarding electronic music.. Dont stop!
Excellent! IMHO Best training in dub techno style and in general approach to track creation. Thanks!
Thank you very much Ronny for doing this video. It is a fantastic presentation of the process and things have finally clicked for me, I knew that the approach to the synth sound should be simpler than I thought, considering the technology available at the time of making rhythm & sound records. Thank you for letting me in on the process.
In my opinion this video contains by far the best meditations on dub techno sound.
TY - very much appreciated!!! :)
Sad to see you don’t upload anymore but all these videos are amazing
Thank you very much!
Did you watch my session in which I said I want to deliver the final video about compression? Well, that escalated 'a bit'. So did 'building a little studio'....
I'm aware that I seemed to just vanish. And hope that the almost 24 hours of content I produced here (check the 'live' tab) keeps you engaged in exploring new ideas.
In the end, I'd like to provide educational content in a sustainable and scalable manner for everybody alike. Whilst avoiding the treadmill of YT's algorithm.
For which I'm developing my own curriculum. Not exactly the simplest project :) I'm curious to find out if that approach is ambitious or rubbish.
If anything, I wish I was able to convey the value of persevering against half-assing one's decision making in music production so far. And that I'm eating my own dog-food here.
In the meantime:
stay sane and safe - and don't stop creating!
Cheers
Ronny/rktic
hi ronny, nice that i found you here. I feel like I was in old thinner times around 2006 😀 🎶🎵
Good Dub/Techno Construction, thanks👍👍
reminds me of the stuff that Terry lee Brown Jr tracks. that dub love
And I was only listening to Northern Lights (Thinner) last night! Who'd have thought watching someone tweak a single pattern for two hours could be so entertaining... Glad Gijs told me about your channel! How come he hasn't commented yet....
Thank you, Travis!
I'm a bit lost for words. In a very nice and warm way. You made my day, really.
Northern Lights is still up there as one of my favourite EPs. I actually still have the limited edition audio CD of the remixes haha!
@@travishumphery Crazy!!!
I am only thirty minutes into this video and I gotten more ideas from you than the previous four videos, I watched. I really appreaciate how precise you are in your sound design!
Great work man!!!
Great to see a new video from you Ronny - Keep em coming pls! :0)
I'm at it. Hopefully shorter ones, too :)
Thanks for the awesome video, Ronny!
Thank you, Thomas!
Thank you so much Mr. Pries for these amazing lessons. Truly Excellent.
Fair play- amazing stuff and great tutorial, thanks. No messing around with overrated equipment and synths, just pure creativity and deep mindset. I just locked on to video for hours. Keep posting please! Cheers
Thank you very much!
Beim Zuschauen des Videos möcht ich dir ungefährt 38x ein neues Like geben! xD Einfach supersympathisch und interessant. Bitte mach mehr so längere Session wie du Dubtechno kreierst!
Fantastic! Proper sound design
"To me, that's not how things work... You don't make anything useful in 90 minutes"
Yeah, Amen break to that bro!
Great tut, thanks!
1:01:34 use auto-pan as tremolo, just sync L-R and there u go
Wow ! oh WoW !!! - Love it.... Love your style 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 - You made me laugh and smile whilst learning 🤣 Massive 'T H A N K. YOU'
nice one thanks. love the highendfizzlegedizzleshizzle :D 4:29
Man you're really good at this - so much to learn and I love your sound, please do more!
Thank you - will do so!
18:48 "...It's not particularly interesting now, is it?"
*me: WTF bro u have no idea*
Man...... u're the GOAT. Please keep doing this!!
Man, so glad I stumbled upon on this channel. So much great knowledge here. I also never knew that about the EQ Three. I always thought of it as the limited version of EQ Eight that comes with Live Intro, but it really does have it's own sound. I'll have to experiment with that more. Thanks!
Ronny ! that's Amazing !!! your approach is great!
I will not be very original ... but it's very informative and inspiring ...
Congrats for your work!
Thank you very much!
Thank you, I have been waiting for new video!
Nice journey, did you mention Jeskola Buzz tracker in there :Ð
One of the best tutorials I have seen on dub techno you have cool accent I only believe the Germans when it comes to techno 😂😂😂😂
Jaaaaaah! :)
Thank you!
The first time I watched that video about 1 year ago and tried to repeat all the stuff... hmmm... abandoned finally
But about a week ago I watched again (and I dont know why I actually decided to do that) and you inspired me to create a track.
I am not shure that it is a pure dub techno, but anyway.
Thank you again. Looking forward for the next tutorials/experience sharing/and so on. Cheers from Russia!
Please more Videos like this one. Thank you Ronny.
really enjoyed seeing you work away but also your honesty, i have been making music over 10 years but always learning and I am i think switching to the dub techno style, not purely but i'm grabbing whatever knowledge I can, so thank you for this! I have been listening to a lot of mono junk
Would be so cool to see you make a track like " Breeze Original Mix by Havantepe "
Love this fresh scene keep up
very nice, thank you! definitely one of the few dub techno videos on this platform that actually sound like decent dub techno to me :) would be cool to see your arrangement process as well
Thank you Lukas! Yeah, arrangement is the most pressing question asked. And I still wonder how to tackle this. :)
sounds like roysksopp, great use of ableton stock pluggins!
so lovely to see such a familiar working process ronny :) ..
I demand a video!
@@theVAULT909 this is definitely inspiring me to do so :D
@@theVAULT909 im actually playing along with it now in bitwig ..
Man you are amazing! This video really inspired me! Thanks (:
Honestly the best tutorial on this stuff I've ever seen, yes..please make more...bravo!
I'd like to see where you pick up and go from here, as the song is clearly progressing but not finished, (a common problem for all producers), I loved watching your processes, very informative and inspiring.
please keep them coming.
By unfinished do you mean soundwiise or rather that the loop must now be arranged? To my ears it sounds finished (still a loop though)
... and also you can use Ableton Resonators for more of metallic sound.
honestly this video one of the best about dub techno music production
This is awesome. Learned loads, please make more :----D
Thank you! I'm curious: what was something you took away from this? Does anything particular come to your mind?
What would you like to hear more about? What less?
@@theVAULT909 Take aways for me: 1. Spend more time with the source of the sound and don't just slap a bunch of effects on, it's lazy and boring. 2. The EQ3 thing. It's really nice and subtle. 3 Use even more noise. 4. Add way more small movement to everything. 5. Your workflow.
Thing is, a lot of what I learned is something I kind of already knew but seeing you utilize the stuff is very helpful. It kind of opens the doors that you already knew were there but didn't really know how to navigate to in a way that sounds good.
What more? Just in general you doing your thing, really. I wouldn't necessarily worry about being super functional in these videos, just do stuff and talk about it in long form. I liked your examples to like the Maurizio stuff. I like the science of how and why things work so feel free to geek out as much as possible. More how and why - less self criticism :D
My biggest problem is getting stuck in making loops and not tracks, so that's something I'd be very interested to see how you do it. Also low end theory.
@@mkaxx1 Thank you for the detailed reply - super interesting to me!
Please be assured: I forget things, too sometimes. Especially when I'm too focused on getting a result too fast. There's so much happening at the same time while making music.
And to me, a bit of self criticism is part of finding out and reminding myself about the things I forget. Hope it's not cringe-worthy though ;)
Thinking about how to tackle the loop to track issue.
And "low end theory" = as in frequency range or something else?
@@theVAULT909 Got to the party too late and just now noticed you did a stream on how to finish a track. Great stuff!
Low end things as in how to get the kick bass relationship to work well and what things to avoid etc.
Genius! thanks for share your talent with all of us , much appreciated:) this tutorial is just to fucking good
Sehr schönes Experiment! Toll, auch mal ein solches Format auf RUclips zu sehen. Das gibt einem super Inspirationen für sein eigenes Zeug. Vielen vielen Dank dafür und gerne mehr davon :)
Very interesting ways you are using! This was relaxing and beautiful stuff man. Thanks for the tutorial, i subbed:)
Absolutely impressive creative processes on show. Thanks 🙏🏼
11:21 oh my god i'm glad you said something I thought I was crazy
Ronny, Thanks for the tutorial. I like how you take your time and explain the things that you are doing. keep making great music.
Thank you, Jesse!
thank you man, this is so inspiring, so coming from the heart
sharing is caring. thx. so inspiring…
really inspiring video
More dub techno please! :) Good stuff
OMG !!!! a long time i´m looking for how to do these accords ... this is simply AMAZING ! and of course, the Rhythm and the Beat are things from other planet... Ronny you are my special guest for a special pizza and wine if one day ou come to Brazil eheheheh ...... I´ll try contact you in facebook ok..... God bless you my friend.
Sehr Geil gemacht! Und des sag ich nach 5 Minuten!
Great stuff here.Thanks. Do moaaaar !
Thank you 👍🏻
Great technics

Thank you, Thomas!
wow man...nice video, new sub (I'm making a transition after 7 years using Fl Studio)
thank u so much for this!!!
Ronnie the bass in the demo loop is priiiiiiiiiiimmmmmmeeeeeeeee
Hallo. Bin ein großer Fan des DUB Techno und dem Stab Sound.
Dein Tutorial finde ich sehr stark. Leider ist mein englisch nicht so hervorragend um alles zu verstehen.
Würde mich daher echt freuen, wenn so was auch mal auf deutsch kommen könnte.
Leider kann ich nur einen Daumen like abgeben, deswegen hier....
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Absolutely fantastic content. I have followed every step from the beginning (and almost) to the end, and it really helps me try out someone else's workflow when making music. (I have never even considered touching session view before, now I love it!) I have one million questions to ask, but here is my first: To my understanding glue compressor is a musical compressor that adds warmth, and that separates it from the native Ableton Live compressor. Why did you use the glue compressor on certain tracks, and the native compressor on others? I am just learning about compression and it's really fascinating to me!
Hey Rhewn,
thank you very much!
About the compressor choice here: tbh, I didn't give it that much thought.
In general, I prefer Glue comp on everything that's a complex signal. Like busses, or individual tracks with spatial effects like delays and reverbs on it.
Imho, the stock comp isn't suited for that. Too digital and hyperactive behaviour with complex signals. On the other hand, when it comes to individual drum hits, that kind of sound can be beneficial.
Keep in mind though, I tried to restrict myself to Ableton devices only. If that wasn't the case, you wouldn't see me using the Stock comp at all ;)
@@theVAULT909 ah okay I understand now! So glue compressor works a bit better with complex signals. If you were using any compressor you wanted for a complex signal in this track, what would you use?
@@rhewn1572 Depends on material and the type of flavor I'm after. Currently using Novatron a lot for almost everything. Bit of Fairchild on the two-buss sometimes. 1176 occasionally for bass. NI Solid Buss, Mjuc, Battlecomp Vintage here and there as well. It's often a gut choice.
@@theVAULT909 thanks for the info! I've got a lot to learn!
very inspiring. musically, as well as videomakingally. :)
I'd love to hear some jams from you soon!
Endlich! Danke habibi
Great video, thx Ronny. Learned lots. Would love to see your process for drums too. Im a big fan of Roger Gerressen, Grad_U, Idealist and these sounds are quite close to them. But i struggle with the drums in these style tracks, and trying to make them fit after i have worked on the chords and musical composition. its not the programming of the drum patterns, but more the eq, transients, space, and character of the sounds. and then making them fit with the music, any tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks again Ronny
Thank you - I wonder how to tackle such specific mixing topics. Cause it's so context dependent. However, I'll let this sink in for a moment!
I would love for you to make more tutorials.
About any particular topic, or just patching around?
@@theVAULT909 it would be interesting to have a tutorial about the subs, on this video the sub look like POLE Sub! it's fantastic! love your dub techno tutorials!
Great job
yay
Thanks man! :) Really helpful and inspiring!
Thank you Paolo!
great stuff
HI :) I really like this video. I wanted to open the attached project file, but unfortunately it has already been deleted. Is there a working download link somewhere?.., or is my bad luck... :/ ... thank you
Hey, Ronnie, where is the website you mention at the beginning of this video? I tried to search but came up empty. Thanks for you’re videos - definitely up there with the best in my opinion.
Euh, can you give me a hint what it was about? ;)
love it!! thanxx
Wowww
Through The Fog ;-)
War glaub ich die einzige Platte die ich von dir hatte, aber ich hab sie noch :D
This is very inspiring video. I just started using analog in ableton instead of operator. Thank you! You gave noise on return track. Is it better than creating noise as a seperate track? Thank you!
Thank you!
About the noise: I guess it was a gut thing, knowing I'll be using the return with Echo anyway.
Thanks Ronny +++++
❤
jaaaaaa endlich !!!
WTF :)
Ronny Pries ich warte schon ewig auf neues Material , deine Sommerhitze Video war schon sehr inspirierend
@@dot.initial Dann lass mich doch mal wissen, ob das hier irgendwas brauchbares liefert!
Ronny Pries ASAP
Ronny Pries also ich find es sehr gut dass es uncut creative process ist , man kann richtig gut einsteigen was du denkst und vor hast - auf der suche nach details justiert sich das Gehör ... war überrascht als auf einmal der groove da war OHNE drums ...
echt super video , danke
bin allerdings kein riesen Fan von Ableton only , also gerne noch mal ein Video mit magnetic und allem drum und dran
Hi Ronny, great video, any chance to download the project file ? the link not work now, thanks in advance
The links should work now. Please let me know if you find one that doesn't!
hello, I use iMac and OBS and I would like to understand which drivers I need to install to create videos with Ableton audio, I tried to download blackhole and VB-cable but I couldn't ... can you advise me any way? a thousand thanks
I didn't set this up on OSX yet, so unfortunately, can only guess. I'm sure there's a good tutorial about this on YT.
Hello.
Nice Dub . Which Musical program
do you use? And what hardware is Minimum? I am addicted of Dub , so, like amy addicted, I will try to fabricate my own Dub drug though....Thank You for being
Inspiring.
He is using Ableton (it says it in the title).
Hi Mark,
this DAW is Ableton Live. Bitwig is also very suited.
Any halfway recent computer/laptop will work. Don't worry about that.
You're welcome!
1:16:39 dont mind me just bookmarking
Is there a reason you have a VU meter open? Also is it on your master?
Yes - it's on my master. I made a video about why here: ruclips.net/video/CxAWvC777UE/видео.html
what's the purpose of using VUMT metering? looking forward to checking out the vid :0
I think I'll make a video about that!
@@theVAULT909 ooooh
@@2f126 Here you are: ruclips.net/video/CxAWvC777UE/видео.html
Das ist eigentlich richtiger ,,dub" techno, naja wem erzähl ich das . weitermachen ;-) hab das zwar noch nie geschafft weiter zuschauen als ,15-20min . aehm ableton 9 hat noch nicht dieses delay was alle im 10er benutzen . filter delay oder simpledelay funktioniert das nicht ,,genauso" ? Aber ich kam glaub ich schon bei den send/return s nicht mehr mit (Schande , peinlich - aber hat sich mir noch nie erschlossen - trotz vorhandenen analog Synths/mixer lol ) echt verrückt hab mir mal n bissl Hardware/Software geholt weil ich durch StarDub zu Dub techno kam, aber noch nie das musikalisch umgesetzzz was ich mir so vorstelle. Traurig
Subbed.... :-)

2:58 did you put the echo on the master?
Hey man, really love your tutorials! Really learned alot, very thankful for you to take time out of your day to do these highly informative tutorials. was wondering if you could do a video where you can recreate the synth from Chords & Memories by BDTom. The sound first happens at 0:26. Any help you can give that would be great!
