      Hi Underdog, is there a tutorial for the exact drumbeat in this video? Would relly like to learn this, thank you Underdog

    Dipped my toes in techno production 8 months ago and gave it up when my tracks sounded like dog shit, discovered your videos and have been slowly getting back into it and feeling inspired. Highly undervalued channel right here, your videos are rich with knowledge, easy to understand and comprehend, and straight to the point. Best of luck with your success man, absolutely loving these tutorials

      Tell me about it. I unfortunately paid for PLM and I wish I could give that money to Underdog. I will be joining his patreon because I feel guilty for the 1-excellent quality of tutorials 2-the way Oscar teaches things. It is f-ing amazing. Oscar, you're the best. PS will be comparing PLM Vs Underdog on Reddit.

    Hey man, I cant thank you enough for these videos. Getting into electronic music making and learning ableton always felt like a brick wall until I found your videos. Music making has always been so stressful and theres so many roadblocks, but when I see one of your videos it makes me feel like I can do anything. I really appreciate your stuff.

    I started experimenting with melodic/moving/walking bass-lines a while back. Now it’s everything I do in my music. I tried applying static bass-lines from time to time but it just didn’t sound as good. It sounded way to dull and robotic. I encourage everyone to experiment with melodic basslines. It really is a gamechanger that will take your music to new levels

  • @martinsnelaudioenhancement
    @martinsnelaudioenhancement ปีที่แล้ว

    You’re an excellent teacher! So clear and at the same fast enough to keep me interested as an experienced producer. I’m watching your stuff to go back to the basis and every time I think oh yeah I totally forgot about this. Thanks!

    i am really impressed about your coolness, when it comes to use maths "in the middle of a (the) creative process" - very funny! *clap* - and the rest is also very useful, even for non ableton users - because it's depending on principles and concepts not on DAWs (it helps for cubase at least)

    Really appreciate these videos. I use Reason 10 and jam live on the Digitone occasionally, and I find these tutorials help me get inspiration for new ideas. So much in this genre is about the timbre and rhythm of the sounds. Melody is typically secondary.
