How to make a progressesive house track

The Makings of a progressive beat

Hello people im back with another post you know. Sometimes life gets in the way and you can't post as much as you would like.Anyhow this simple tutorial will show you the methods you need to create a simple 4 to the floor progressive trance or progressive house track.

You all heard those tracks before where they swept you off your feet and you are left wondering how did they make them

The Methods

What you need. You need samples obviously. You can get cheap samples and templates for Ableton here. If you not a fan of Ableton you can get some great templates for Fl studio here. You not a fan of Fl Studio i hear you you can get some templates and sounds for Cubase here. Then again you could make your own samples with a synth if need be.You could also just use samples you have and make something unique. That is the beauty of progressive trance and techno you could use any sound that is percussive.
Basically what you want to do is build your drum loops very extensive,and sexy. Layer them like crazy all while sounding real thoguh do not over do it.
Then add a new element every 4 bars on top of what you already added. By no means should any space be crowded. Then when everything is added create some rhthmn within.
Then have a drop and start the process all over again. add some vocals whatever.

Im my example tutorial i just included a pad sound to vibe with that was not really a progressive house sound . I just needed a sound for the tutorial. so i used it.
In the next video i will show you how to make a progressive house lead sound and how to make the melody and chord progression.

Using Phrygian mode to make Techno beats

You should be using Phrygian mode to make your techno beats. Hey people i have been seeing lots of newbies online make track after track in the same key. Same scale, same chord progression. You have to get out off that same old rut of doing things the same things all the time. After a while your music will be boring and pretty much lifeless. So i made this video of me making a techno beat in phrygian mode to show you what you can do when you think outside the box. When you get away from the normal natural minor and natural major scales and reach outside the box you just may actually learn something, and most of all breathe new life into your music. So watch the video below. Just keep in mind this riff i made for your viewing pleasure is only a 2 bar loop. i will be making a full on 32 bar loop to show you just what you can accomplish when you think outside the box. I know i sound like a robot, but when you think outside the box with your music you're music really comes alive

How to speed up your hip hop beatmaking workflow when you have no time to make beats

We all been there, we have a idea in our head of some beat we want to cook up, then the unthinkable happens. We run into our ex at the bank, the supermarket or Wendys drive thru then the two of you start talking for hours. Or better yet, your kid gets sick at school the nurse sends him home, your dog has an appointment at the vet. You need to help your son study for a math test...As soon as you walk into the studio your girl calls you up, and silly you answers the phone. You then are sitting in your own studio, instead of making beats you are talking on the phone. Before you know it you start falling asleep and no beats are made! You get the picture. This happens to all of us at one point or another in time. Some of us it happens on a more consistent basis. So that is why i made this video for you to help give you some insight as to what to do, when life sometimes gets in your way, and you are unable to make any beats. So follow my suggestions in the video and i hope you
