Producertech Mainroom Techno in Live by Paul Maddox [TUTORiAL]

With numerous label releases and support from huge DJs including techno legend Richie Hawtin, Paul's depth of understanding and experience in the field of techno production extends far beyond most. The combination of this skill set and his passion for teaching make his tutorials a must-see for anyone wanting to truly master the genre. Packed with creative techniques, which utilise only Live's internal and Max for Live devices, the modules cover both the essential fundamentals and divergent approaches to producing techno. Starting with the drum groove, Paul creates the beats and bass, employing ingenious tactics for achieving the all-important, rumbling techno bass sound. Following this, he demonstrates how to add ambience and subtle rhythmic textures, before applying individual and group processing. The latter modules then cover the creation of melodic parts, including a modular-style, atonal lead, using M4L devices and a synthesised and resampled 'vinyl' lead, whilst teaching many advanced signal processing and macro-mapping techniques along the way.
