=======================================Cage Nic Melodic Techno Production Notes: 2/3/2021 9:06:11 AM======================================= - Save a template with the core elements you need for Melodic Techno: 1. Low end2. Main Lead3. Front melody4. Back melody5. Low Pads6. High Pads7. Clap/Snare - combine with reverse/ sweeping clap on the 4th clap (deadmau5 style)8. Hats9. Ride10. Perc / Perc Loop (these sound good with delays) 11. Shaker loop (EQ out lows, delay, sidechain compression) - Usually will have two kicks. One lower end that comes in after 16 bars and one higher one. Can also just automate to HP the low-end with EQ. - For the Lead, try having one with delay that is wider and one without. Use sidechain compression, EQ, and some filtering to make sounds more interesting - Atmospheric Pads - Atmospheric Vox for the feels - Risers, Sweeps, Impacts - use Gain utility to make sure the sub and Kick are in mono - Synth Swell (common in this genre at the end of a segment). OTT, Camelphat / Sausage Fattener, EQ, Reverb, then Delay to make it sound Epic. ===============================================================- Start with Kick, usually want one that's very punchy.- Next add Pads. Add sub-oscilattor to make it sound deeper / more aggressive, and then add chorus and Plate Reverb to build the ambience. - Note: when adding in chorus, since it makes the stereo image wider, you may be at risk for phasing issues later on, so add in some Mid-Side EQ to cut some lower end for the sides, and then boost some mids for the middle- For the high pads, use a different sound that contrasts from the sound of the low pads. Can also give the high-pads more attack so it comes in abit smoother. Can also add some movement with an LFO
