Probably has to be Auratones by Deepchord, but the two you recommended in this video are great too. I found both you and Martin on Spotify, so I have a lot of listening to do :p
As a Trance / EDM producer who is also in love with Ambient ( hence I've subbed to your channel ) this was amazing!!! This is kind of common ground for me. I am amazed how far everything went in almost half an hour. True talent!!! Thank you very much.
Excellent, Chris! This beginner-ish tutorial of how to assemble an ambient dub techno tune has been an absolute game changer for the way I work. I used to rely on pre-made loops but always felt a bit of a fraud by doing so. In just half an hour of video you have totally demystified, and fluently demonstrated, a raft of useful and useable techniques (glitchy drums and midi, wavetables and modulation, sidechains, clip manipulation...the list goes on!). This content is exactly the reason I joined your Patreon group. Thanks for all your hard work.
returning to essence is one of the best albums there is, regardless of genre. love that you plugged it here, made me want to watch the rest of the video knowing that that's one of your influences.
That is not how my wavetable sounds with the same settings, lol. I get a hard sawtooth sound, you seem to have much softer with more harmonics. No idea what effect your production strip rack has, but not really starting from a blank canvas if you've inserted that and not explained what it does so we can re-create the same. All the FX chaining advice was great though, so thank you!
It was about time (and a great decision…imo) for Howie Mandel to change paths into something more introspective. Glad to see him doing this well nowadays ❤
Congratulations on 5k followers (soon). You really deserve it, the amount of energy and time you put into each video is outstanding. Keep on going I think the next 5k will be much easier!
This video is super awesome, I've learned a lot about Dub Techno, and you did a fantastic job explaining each concept. Please keep up the excellent work doing more Dub Techno Tutorials!!
Great video, as always, Chris! I have, though, a question that's not directly related to the music itself, but rather, your computer. I, too, have Novum, and I really like it. But it really hits my CPU hard -- to the point that projects that I create on my laptop sometimes can't be reopened on the same laptop. Now, I know the laptop is probably under-powered -- it's a Ryzen 3-based machine. But, it's also pretty heavy on CPU on my "studio" desktop, which is a bit beefier. I noticed when you added Novum to this track, that your CPU barely registered a change. So, the question is --- what computer are you running? (I know you're on a Mac, and I'm on PC, but that shouldn't make /that/ much of a difference, so the question is more CPU than anything else. Thanks!
I'm on Windows as well! Ryzen 5900x, 32gb of RAM, SSD. Some NOVUM patches are far more CPU intensive than others. I've nearly choked my system adding more grains and modulating them. It could just be the patch you're playing with. Try lowing the grain count and see if that helps! Also, SYNtify takes a ton of CPU but he's working on a fix. Hope that helps! Cheers my friend.
@@s1gns0fl1fe Thanks! Yes, helps a lot, actually. Your machine is a little beefier than my studio machine (Ryzen 5 2600X). Being a little more conservative in my sound design makes a lot of sense. The plan with my studio machine was always to jump up to a Ryzen 7 at some point, but being a B450 motherboard, going with a current generation processor gets a little squirrelly because of the BIOS updates involved. Still probably worth the heartache. The laptop will probably have to be just a sketchpad for now... and I'm good with that. Thanks! and cheers to you, too!
Cant believe Ive only just been recomended to your chan. Wow! Love this stuff man. I generally enjoy making melodic house, which obviously uses lots of ambient textures/layers. Thanks man for this and all your vids. Liked and subbed brother 👍❤️
Nice to see you Chris diving deep into ambient dub. One of my favorite genres. Your tips are very helpful to understand this type of music better!!Love the ''offset''trick!!!!Thanks for sharing🎧✌.....and Congratulations on 5k followers!!!!!!
Heck I wanted to write a track from start to finish that wasn’t another experimental drone track… I didn’t even think of doing some dub techno but now - gonna fire up Reason and get cracking! Very inspirational 🙏
Fantastic tutorial. I learned so many amathing things in such a short time. Some of the plugins are also helping me jumping forward productionwise. Do you know the album "Soup" from Bola? Bola is one of my favorite ambient dub techno acts for a long time.
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing 😊 I thought it would be helpful to group the tracks from the pad and the offset, so with one button you can trigger them always together.
I love dub Techno. I don't really need this tutorial because I already have experience with the genre but idk just felt entertaining and fun to watch anyways 🥰
I think this is my favourite of your tutorials so far. Really inspiring! Would you mind speaking a little about the differences between ambient and psybient in this context? I'm a fan of artists like Ott, and I'm interested in where the approaches differ for that sort of genre. Is it just a case of using a more chilled, less techno beat and adding a lot more exotic sonic textures, or do you think there's some sort of core to it that has a formula of some sort? Many thanks!
Why does the initial wavetable sound organic like a piano hit? When i do exactly the same in europa (reason) it still sounds like a saw wave. I am exactly looking for that sound you made. are there some other effects in place? what am i missing? Please help!
Seemed to me the Novum track came out atonal here (even after putting the root in key) is this a property of the sample in novum or grain pitch/other that I’m hearing? Btw, I purchased Novum in part from your earlier review/demo

Dublicator - Deep routes
I am really digging the channel 4am Breaks
By far one of the best dub walkthru’s I’ve watched. I think one nice addition to round it all out, would be the assembly of the final track.
Your commentary accompanying this creation is wonderful. Your energy is infectious and beautiful.
Thank you so much!
I watch a lot of tutorials and this is one of the nicest dub techno ones I've seen in a while! 👍
great to see such a comprehensive dub tech tutorial. More please!
we do love dubTechno!

Wow , regularly coming back to this ! This is still one of the best Dub techno Tutorials around ..

Absolutely incredible tutorial with a phenomenal sound, thank you so much.
It was about time (and a great decision…imo) for Howie Mandel to change paths into something more introspective.
Glad to see him doing this well nowadays ❤
For sure! Martin Sturtzer’s Branches is an awesome album. Between this channel and his, all my ambient dub techno needs are met! :-)
Thank you so much. That means a lot!
I absolutely adore your accent, your voice has so much energy it's better than an energy drink
For a beginner always wanting to get into some form of production, this was super well done. Thanks a ton, Chris.
This looks so incredibly simple... thank you for the inspiration... Goosebumps
I've just worked my way through this - brilliant, thank you. I learned so much and it sounds fantastic. Will definitely be back for more.
Definitely you can do whatever you want in music sfere!

I love dub Techno. I don't really need this tutorial because I already have experience with the genre but idk just felt entertaining and fun to watch anyways 🥰
Thanx thats Is my style Ambient dub techno
I think this is my favourite of your tutorials so far. Really inspiring! Would you mind speaking a little about the differences between ambient and psybient in this context? I'm a fan of artists like Ott, and I'm interested in where the approaches differ for that sort of genre. Is it just a case of using a more chilled, less techno beat and adding a lot more exotic sonic textures, or do you think there's some sort of core to it that has a formula of some sort?
Many thanks!
Fantastic teacher!
Let's try to make something in this genre for the next AO Compilation album 🙂
Oh yeah, this is the video I've been waiting for...Dub! Checkout OTT, Globular and Geoglyph for the best in Psydub.
If you are into psydub then check out Omnipus, the only psydub band from Iceland 😊
Love these videos.
great video, amazing vibe. thanks
Great tutorial and inspiration. The last pad reminds me of an oboe. :) cheers.
Great Job!
yes we see and we listen above all 😄 Good work ✌️😉

All time favorite is Suba Tributo
Thank you sir very much, it is osom!
Nice. Thank you 👍
Fantastic!
This video helped me a lot! Thank you
Cool! Will you do more tutorials/sessions like this? Really nice concept
Why does the initial wavetable sound organic like a piano hit? When i do exactly the same in europa (reason) it still sounds like a saw wave. I am exactly looking for that sound you made. are there some other effects in place? what am i missing? Please help!
Seemed to me the Novum track came out atonal here (even after putting the root in key) is this a property of the sample in novum or grain pitch/other that I’m hearing? Btw, I purchased Novum in part from your earlier review/demo
nice video!! thank you!!
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it.
How is it possible to learn all of these configurations and plugins? Is there any road map for this?
Really cool stuff thanks 🙏
