What about exploring different genres, like dnb, since making “natural” drum loops is very difficult to get right. For beginners getting the drums right is difficult, for example the track poor Leno has a strangely organic hihat loop. Edit: Specifically drum loop theory, and the different types of drum loops, the difference between a Felipe Gordon type drum loop and something like a poor Leno type organic-but-still-sampled type loop.

I'll continue saying it until everyone listens: hands down the best music production channel on this or any other platform. Doesn't matter if you make techno, house, hip hop, ambient, noise, dub, whatever your thing is - you WILL learn a LOT by watching this guy. Another fantastic, easy to understand lesson for newbies or seasoned pros. 22 minutes you will both enjoy and learn from. Love it. edit: remember when writing melodies, the silence between notes is as important as the notes themselves. EDIT2: please tell me you're releasing the preset at 17:40 or giving a sound design tutorial for that one specific sound. please.

As a classic piano player for over 20 years and only now beginning to learn the ropes of how digital music production comes together, can I just say how much I'm enjoying your content? It's such a welcome refresher and you bring it across with such dedication and passion, making musical theory seem like complete novelty. :D Thank you, Alice!
Hearing you break all this down, it is apparent just how pivotal Depeche Mode were from 1981 onwards. It became more dance orientated but boy did they kickstart a whole range of sounds that are still around today.
I can tell you put a lot of effort in making these videos. Top notch quality in every aspect. Thanks.

I appreciate that! It indeed takes quite a bit of time preparing, recording and editing these videos lately. But makes me happy to see that people enjoying them 😊
"Don't worry about scale because THIS IS TECHNO" 😂😂😂😂 Amazing video I was able to learn so much more about melodies👏👏 best teacher💣
Absolutely love "We don't care about the scale because this is techno." 💖 Coming from a classical music background, this is so freeing and fun to hear.
I've only just found this channel and my music making has improved tenfold ! Easy to understand , fast and efficient within the DAW and so creative ! Kudos to you Yalcin !! Awesome !
its stupid how good these videos are .literally the best quality you can find on YT. some people should stop paying for expensive music schools and just buy tons of popcorn to watch all your videos 😄
Man, I enjoy reading the comment section dude😂 you deserve all this positivity 🙌
alice, I love your videos, they are so easy to watch and the animations are soo smooth! never stop doing what you doing. even tho i dont consider myself in the same genre as you, i always find things to learn and handy tipps! thank you!
Just realized I’ve just spent solid 3+ hours on your channel. Thank you for your effort and spreading your knowledge to the world. Cheers from California!
Thank you! Definitely my favorite channel about music production.
Been into music for a very long time and am working with people who are learning and I feel your material will really help accelerate their learning.. Sharing to goodness..
Congratulations, every day you improve. Right now, I consider you the best youtuber for producers. I've been watching music production videos for years, and for me your videos are the best, clear, short, well made and very well worked. Keep it up, good job. Thanks for the effort.
The most well spent 20 minutes of my life. I love your passion and your didactics
Your videos are simply the best. The quality of the production and the quality of the content are 11/10.
this is one of the videos that helped me the most and got me to that "aha" moment ! I have played piano for a long time and mostly classical music so to make techno well it's different let's say :D Also I love how the editing of your videos is always getting better and better thank you so much for the work you put into every video, I am forever thankful ! ❤️
Your videos are just getting better and better even though they were excellent to start with, thank you and great job!
Hands down the best EDM Educational Channel on KZread. Absolutely Brilliant.
I cannot describe the love I have for you enough. You are an absolute genius and consistently provide us all with some of the most informative music production videos. So much of my musical growth came from learning from you!

I like the advice of Mouse on Mars. You start with a loop, than play it. A lot. Play it in the background while doing dishes, taking a shower. Live inside the loop. Eventually you will hum or imagine melodies and notice all kinds of subtleties in your loop. Patience really helps. Sometimes I throw a bunch of notes into a sequencer then start removing notes. A melody of some sort will emerge. Have fun and remember there are no wrong notes in electronic music. Only varying degrees of popularity. 😁
