Underdog Hypnotic Industrial Techno Start-to-Finish TUTORiAL

Let's make industrial techno from scratch
This is not a typical tutorial.

At the start of this adventure, nothing is pre-produced, we begin with nothing but a vision. Together, we'll go from a vision, into a plan, into the experimentation, execution, polishing and finalisation of an entire song.

This tutorial is for producers who want to see the messy creative flow, who want to see behind the scenes, who want an authentic production experience.

Let's leave the clean, safe tutorials on YouTube where they belong, and let's get our hands dirty.

Here is the final product, after three days of production.

Day 0: Vision & Planning
We'll discuss the global vision for the track, our influences, what elements we do and don't want, and set out a structure for our work.

Day 1: Creating the Beat
We'll make atmospheric elements, kicks, rumbles, percussion, and everything that is part of a powerful techno beat, including a lead synth and transition FX. This lays the foundation for our work in day 2.

Day 2: Arrangement and Identity
On day two we'll be refining the mixdown, and start creating the song's signature moments: the climax. Once those are strong enough, we move on to doing a full arrangement of the track, and deliver a first draft "complete" track.

Day 3: Mix polish and finalisation
On day three we implement feedback from the first listeners, and address all remaining bugs. With fresh ears and a clear mind, we are ready to finalise the track.
