  • Here's a little video for those of you who wonder what concepts underlie simple & effective hihat lines. It's elementary drum programming for the top end of your track, and in Ableton Live we show the most simple controls to pay attention to to make it all work together.
    Next week we'll look at part 2, the processing and EQ of these hihats.

    This channel is so dope; clear/practical,and I always leave with something I'm excited to try. Some channels are great for how-to's that involve a lot of button -clicking in ableton, but with this channel I get not only that but a deeper understanding of why I'm doing what I'm doing. It breeds independence in my work.
    I'm still quite new to producing and it can be pretty over-whelming at times, but these videos have given me such productive avenues to go down. So thanks for the tutorials, I'm sure many feel the same as I do about them!

    Frequency shifters are my favorite tool for drums, and I probably use them on hats more than anything else. It's amazing how they can pull together various different sounds and make them sound like they're from the same kit, if not the very same sound just played differently, especially with some of the tricks you can do with freq shifters.

    The jacking house part left me confused, because I couldn't figure out why the closed hats cancel the open ones when we can easily, for example, play a kick and a snare at the same time.
    Cool rabbit hole to research for myself though.
    If anyone else is wondering, research the subject of choke groups, and keep in mind that Ableton silently automatically adds them to the 808/909 core kits. You can check them out by opening the chains for the drum rack, which reveals a hidden button, labelled I/O, which once activated shows you the choke groups. Horrible UX design, but a fun adventure in learning for me, I'm glad you didn't explain it so I can do some of the work myself, lol.

    Been watching several of your videos these couple of days. I have no background in music, expect being a huge fan of techno and I started DJing as an amateur on and off. I've always loved the idea of getting into techno music DJing and production eventually.
    Things seems overwhelming at first sight but your videos are by far the best ones to grasp the essence of what techno production is about. Once I finish the free online resources, I'll definitely enroll in your course!
