Sonic Academy proudly welcomes new teacher this week, Soul Techno producer Harvey McKay.


In How To Make Techno 2019, Harvey shows us his creative process in creating a dark, thoughtful and frankly sinister techno track from beginning to end in Ableton.
Starting with layered overloaded and saturated kick, we create tension with a rattling bass line, wired and crunchy hi-hats and snare, before adding the sinister main synth line created in U-he Repro. Once the elements are in place, we build sound episodes in Ableton before recording, as if we were playing live to put together the basic arrangement. Then we will tackle automation and editing from and to, to get to the final mix, when everything can be sent to mastering.
This is a course that proves that you do not need a whole ton of plug-ins and tricks to create a monstrous mix for the dance floor, and only a careful selection of the right sounds with minimal processing will help you with this!
