In this article we will explore the top approach to learning melodic techno production. Let’s get started!
Melodic Techno has recently taken the electronic music scene by storm. Despite the minimalist style of production, the genre’s appeal lies in the driving beats, atmospheric textures and haunting melodies. Anjunadeep, Afterlife Records and Stil Vor Talent have become some of the top labels in the world - just like Anyma, Tale of Us, Solomun or Stephan Bodzin are some of the most streamed artists on Beatport.
Aspiring music producers who want to learn how to make tracks in this style, need to face plenty of challenges. Melodic Techno tracks are often complex compositions, with intricately layered sounds and textures. Without proper guidance, learning to produce the genre by ear is next to impossible. Where do you start looking for resources to learn production in this style?
You might try following various different YouTube tutorials. These are often a great source of production tips, but it’s also easy to get lost in the maze of tutorials. Such videos usually discuss only specific subjects, leaving you without knowledge about the rest of the production process.
Another approach could be to enrol in a melodic techno course. Some of these, especially start to finish courses, are incredibly helpful for music producers. However, even these usually focus on one specific track or style, and might not go in depth into areas such as mixing and mastering, ear candy, or promoting tracks online. Even if some courses provide you with samples to follow along, you usually also need to purchase samples and presets to fully get started with your own production - which is an additional cost to bear in mind.
At Production Music Live, we saw that the journey towards Melodic Techno mastery is overly complicated. That’s why we made the Melodic Techno Academy - to give producers all the necessary education and resources in one place, enabling them to get professional results.
