The Super Triangle

I know a lot of people when they think of producing trance the first thing that comes to there mind is firing up a supersaw waveform in there synth or programming a supersaw to play the melody of your lead synth. Yes its very common to think of only the saw and square when thinking of trance and techno. One waveform a lot of people are overlooking is the triangle wave form.

The Triangle

So do yourself a favor and go into your daw or your synth and change the waveform on some of your tracks to triangle and see what it sounds like. Youd be surprised as how it sounds just as good as a saw. While your at it try to use a sine waveform too. Sines sound great for dark or somber trance.

Examples

I went ahead and made some examples for you to hear what im talking about below.

In the next few days I will give you different examples ,from some of my other tracks to show you what you can achieve by using a triangle waveform instead of using a saw for everything.

If you been producing for a while you will know this already but,remember this is for newbies. So listen to my examples below and share your examples too in the comments section.

The first example is just a short riff say maybe 25 bars or so of a 8 bar loop I looped a few times so you could hear the character and feel of the triangle.

So think outside the box and use some other waveforms beside the saw for trance and youll be surprised as to what you can actually achieve.

I will be looking for your video and audio responses.

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.
