Damn, you explained my frustration 5 years ago. I was making tracks, but most of them sounded like trance from 2004. And now I realize, that this because of my music theory experience. I used to keep myself in harmony. But actually sometimes you just need some random things. =)

In case you don't know of them I can recommend Yan cook's channel and also the channel SINEE (it's in german but still pretty easy to follow), both of these share some secrets/techniques. But yes AYNIL is the main one and the only one I know with a lot of content. EDIT: Saw now you wrote more like deep techno, check out Hypnus Records channel. Ntogn has some walkthroughs there. But other than that I don't know anyone else really.

Thanks for many good tips. Especially How to start. I tested your workflow with 16 "startnotes" , then created them longer and pitched them to other notes in the scale and that was a much easier way to create a melody. The last tips works for me too when I work with OP-Z and use the LFO, punch-in or tape-effects. Once again Thanks!

Like how to process the percussions, bass & so on to make them sound like he did. (Dirty with alot of "weight") Never heard anyone make better drums then him. For example "The Fade (Oliver Lieb Remix)" and "Peace (Oliver Lieb Remix)". Thanks again! :)
