Greetings from El Paso Tx! I’ve recently changed genres from singing indie pop to now producing melodic techno (following what I love deep down).. but it’s a HUGE learning curve, but thanks to your videos I’ve progressed tremendously in such a short period of time! I’m truly grateful for channels like yours sir I tip my hat off to you thank you!

Only recently clocked on to this amazing act! After I missed him at White Dubai
I finally saw him live here in Riyadh playing in a venue made of shipping containers - it was a spiritual experience as he closed off day 2 of SoundStorm at 3am and his sound was the perfect closure. Inspirational person and Rapture just hits me every time! Incredible that you are already showing his methodology- big thank you for that! There are just too many genres in EDM to choose from and focus on producing!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching and for the kind words of support! The variety in EDM is exactly one of many aspects I love about it! 🙂

Great work sharing your techniques with us! It will allow me to progress in this genre a lot quicker. But I was missing a little extra polyrhythmic approaches to some of the elements. Maybe something to add to a new tutorial someday. 🎉

Hey Will, love your videos man, and I think you just might be the guy to break down a style that no one seems to want to attempt- and perhaps it’s because no one is quite sure what style it would even fit into- I’m talking about the psy-bass-tribal house-acid dub-chill offerings of talented producers like Kalya Scintilla, desert dwellers, atyya, whitebear, etc. please refer to Lionize by Kalya Scintilla , this is what I’m after. Hope to see you tackle this unique style, thanks!!
OMG mate great great great
Thank you so much, I am glad you enjoyed it :)
Amen my most holy friend.
Haha cheers mate!!
Nice
Hell yeaaaaah
Nice video will I have my production too your level and it is very nice and sa production thats cool
That's wonderful! Pls stay in touch!
Appreciate it! :)
This video is a 37:39 second Masterclass! I hit the subscribe button. I will be watching more of what you have! Do you do anything in Logic or is Ableton your DAW of choice?
Ableton is my DAW of choice, my tool of the trade. :) But the vast majority of my videos contain tips that can be applied in any DAW! Thank you for your support! Much appreciated!🙏
UK garage or UK bass tutorial please 🙏
i m waiting for this video for over a year:)
So glad it's here for you finally! :)
GoodMorning Bro Fish here from SA can you please do a video on how to mix a track from start to finish as well as mastering it using Waves Plugins🙏🏽🙌🏽
And keep on showing us how dope Ableton it is your the best God Bless you🙌🏽
I’ve done a video on mixing recently, I recommend checking it out here: ua-cam.com/video/Un0ZBZLUtLs/v-deo.htmlsi=ae_Gdxe7hVJhhh7-
Hey Will.. please make a tutorial on the genre of Indie Dance 🎵🎵🎵
Great suggestion! Any particular artists or tracks you're digging at the moment?
@EDMTips Why do you always put the kicks directly on the timeline instead of using a drum rack?
Amen🙏💯💥💣
AMEM BROTHER
Appreciate it! 🙌🙏Thanks for watching and supporting 🙂
Just found you. I'm on my 4th of your videos. Literally dusted off my headphones to hear properly. Subbed. Would love it if you could play the comleted track after your goodbyes. Every video I'm looking for a link or something to hear the full track. You tickle my techno mojo then hold out. Mojo tease.
Thank you for your support! :) Didn't try to tease you! haha
Just a question, when you are building the chords is there a reason why you don’t just select all of the bass notes and make the chords that way as opposed to doing them individually?
Hope he gets well soon :(
i love you
Could you dive into the makings of a hard techno track? Maybe in the idea of Carv, 6ejou etc
Great suggestion! What's you favourite tracks of theirs?
CARV- Say my name
6EJOU- Can you feel my heart
Im getting road blocks when you use the kontakt and the serum I don't have those
Hey! where can we download the drums you used? (kick etc...) Great video!
The project is in the description of this video. Enjoy! :)
Hope Black coffee recovers asap and get back to the music scene
Old Cosmic Gates did same percussion in trance tracks
Awesome episode,... but what about AMAPIANO???
Cheers, glad you liked it! Any particular artists you have in mind?
REALLY,...? Well, Gabe Cannal - Agape album, track called THE ONE. He has many albums, but this one is sonically superior in my humble opinion. Others,... Kelvin Momo - TEARS OF BLACK MAN , Asana - GOODBYE, Man Musiq - NINI na NINI, etc. They all have many albums. The movement is getting BIG in the states. I will be creating and producing tracks for artist in this new genre sir. @@EDMTips
Paul woolford please 😊😊
Do you do 1 on 1 sessions? I have made a bunch of stuff on Ableton, but I feel like im limited to my knowledge of the software.
Explore my website for my courses and more! I appreciate your interest! :)
does EDM tips tour as a performer?
Great question, Jack! I do not tour as I simply don’t have time anymore 😆
Sounds really similar to the track you mentioned, are you sure you not the one behind that Black Coffee song?😅
add the 9th for once!
bonus tip: close your eyes and watch the tutorial back, and focus on every sound. now download that into your brain😁 you hear so much differently with your eyes closed i hear this from mixing with the masters dave pensado
Big fan of will tho
Who produces the "World Drums" Instrument for Kontact? I can't seem to find it.
I do!
You should advertise it 😂 . Still can't find it.
Where can we get the Kick Pack you are Using ?
It from my Kick collection.
I shared it in my other videos, check out the videos about Kick or Low End :)
@@EDMTips thank you so much !
Monique Bingham😪😪👌👌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤❤🎶🎶
One thought though, these beats could sound even better with some grooves to make it a bit more human. No criticism on your track in any way though, just an afterthought.
Is it just me or is the link to the project not working? 😫 Ive tried 3 browsers and clear cache but no luck
Sorry to hear that! Check your spam folder, and if you still haven’t received it, please email team@edmtips.com and we’ll sort it out for you
Thanks for the response, I tried one more time today before emailing u and for some reason it, worked, must have been something wrong with my network, but cheers again!
@@EDMTips
Glad it's sorted!
🙂👍👍
you're the first one i've seen who say that you can tune your kick to the third or fifth harmonic.
Yes you can! :)
@@EDMTips Hmm that comment was meant for another video. it must have switched to this one the moment i was about to type. What ever, I keep an eye on your videos too. :P
Thank you, sir! :)
A video in the Kryder's style?
Great suggestion! What's your favourite track od his?
@@EDMTips i think piece of art or his remix of silence or also on the beach
First this time? 👀
You are!!🙌🙌
original track ID?
What about dubstep or uk DNB
What about it?
I heard Witte house is cool too
Thanks for the suggestion, I will check it out!
the trick is to use the 5th of the scale and not the root! :)
Why do you use AU plugins in project? Not very useful on Windoze.
I prefer them this way
@@EDMTipswhy? Keep in mind you are sharing these projects & some of your audience is on windows.
Why does nobody do the Kpd, David penn, quibiko, house bass….its soooo difficult
Could you suggest some songs?
And where is this polyrythms??😊
