PsyTech (or Psychedelic Techno) is a music style that ranges between 125 and 135 bpm, featuring different elements borrowed from the PsyTrance and Techno world.
The main ingredients of Psytech are round and powerful hypnotic basslines, heavy kicks, and syncopated grooves combined with layers of minimalistic and mesmerizing sounds.
The goal of this webinar is to give you an insight into creating un-parallel grooves and remarkable melodies which will be useful during the creation of a Psy-Tech production.
Specifically, we'll begin with the blank screen of Ableton Live 10, and progress to a complete and structured track using the different techniques described below.
Therefore, we will methodically show the various decisions that are made both in creating and selecting the right sounds from the start and in adapting them to the arrangement using creative chains of audio FX to create powerful drops and build-up.
Each step will be explained thoroughly, both in the more technical aspect, related to the functions of the DAW, and in the more artistic aspect, related to the various musical and aesthetic choices.
This webinar will introduce you as well to many new sound design techniques and knowledge that you can use to produce a track of this type independently as well as gain a greater insight into approaching other musical genres. During this course, you will also definitely learn how to produce music in a more effective, simple, and fun way!
