Making Dark Techno part 2



Hello people today i will be showing you how to make a dark techno riff. If you have not seen part 1 of how to make dark techno then go here I know its been 6 years since i made that dark trance tutorial but the same things apply in this techno tutorial but,what we will be doing different is using f-minor for that dark and erie sound.


 Lets make the sound 

You can use this sound sound for your main riff,a intro,a breakdown whatever so here goes.Like i said earlier this sound will focus on f minor.So the notes we will be using are F,G,A -flat,B flat,C and Dflat Without any hesitation watch the video below on my youtube.



 If you would rather not watch the video then read my instructions: Create a 303 arp Use only triads make sure the I chord is f-minor Then make sure you go in downward motion I hope you enjoyed my tutorial .

Dark Techno and House was one of my earlier influences before i got into trance


Dark Techno music besides trance is one of my favorites to produce. And has been one of my influences growing up in the 80s.

 Do not forget to leave me some comments on some of your techno productions id love to hear them.
