r/techhouseproduction

I really want to get into mixing songs or creating stuff mainly in the field of electronic music, techno, dubstep, etc… but i have literally no knowledge in music theory.

I really love sounds and ambiences that Apex twin makes, also like skrillex, prodigy, 90s techno and been found of pinkpantress lately. Also have an interest in touchdeigner (im a graphic designer) and like the connection of visuality and music.

Where should I start? Ive been looking in the internet for learning material but there are so many and idk can you recommend some great youtube channels or basically anything that can be a good starting point?

Sry for the grammar mistakes english is not my first language

Hi everyone,

I’ve been producing on and off for several years, but have recently been more serious about creating lots of demos under a separate artist identity and releasing them. I currently have 0 music out under my new artist identity, but lots of demos in the pipeline.

I make tech house and progressive house (my inspirations are Chris Lake, John Summit, BUNT, Fisher etc).

I would love to get to know a few tech house producers here; share techniques, exchange demos and just help each other grow. Thought this would be the best subreddit to post this on.

DM or comment if interested!

Hola gente estos días he estado buscando algunos sample packs para hacer este tech house que esta sonando mucho ahora al estilo de FEFO o lo ultimo que subio Over Tones.

Si tienen alguna recomendación o sabes de alguno que pueda comprar seria de mucha ayuda

Does anyone have any budget friendly headphones for deep tech … was looking into Audio technica ATH-M20x

Hey guys! I am a music producer and I recently got into the tech house genre, I can produce tech house but the main thing my songs lack are “fullness”. I don’t want to fix fullness by adding numerous layers etc, are there any good mastering, mixing courses which is highly recommended for my situation, and can fix this issue? Thank you guys!

Hello. I am a tech house producer who currently uses Sennheiser HD280 Pro. Been struggling with the low end, particularly the sub frequencies. I was wondering if you guys have any recommendations for mixing headphones below around $350. My main goal is to get accurate sub response (as accurate as you can get on cans). I can also apply corrective EQ if needed (Oratory1990 settings). I’m thinking of open back since my current ones are already closed back. I will be mixing at home only.

Hi all! here is my issue described in detail.

Current Workflow:
Track A (Uncompressed Wav File, 1411.2kbps) - House Base Track
Track B (320kbps mp3 file) - Hindi/English Track - Vocal Track

• Source high-quality files
• Run through audiostrip.uk to separate stems - Export both files as uncompressed Wav even though track B is an mp3 file
• Import into Ableton with track A instrumentals and Track B Vocals in differnet channels
• Build the mashup (arrange vocal/instrumental combinations)

At this point without touching the channel volume or the channel utility gain the mashup is redlining heavy on the master channel.

• Add a Utility plugin on each channel, reduce gain by -2 to -3dB
• Reduce individual channel volumes further, to around -4 to -5dB, for headroom
• add a Low Cut Filter/High Pass Filter at 50Hz on the vocal channel
• Add a compressor on vocal channel (ableton default plugin) - on Peak Setting ->Lower Threshold with a quick attack, 2:1 ratio, and Auto Release till reducing -1 to -2db to catch peaks. increasing Output by 1db.
• Add Reverb, Delay or any other effects as needed by the mashup.
• On the master channel, add Ozone 12 - Auto Mastering Option - Custom Settings -All Purpose - Intensity Balanced - Loudness - 9db - Maximizer on - True Peak On - Output Level -1db
• Save file and export as Wav/AIFF file.

This is my entire generalized mashup making process. When I import my mashup into serato, the waveform looks smaller than the original track. (As shown in the image. left is my track, Right is original Track A). As you can see in the image the Serato's Auto Gain Adjust also increase my track's gain slightly compared to the original track. Furthermore, when I listen to my track in my care compared to the original, I need to play it at a slightly higher volume. Why is this happening? Someone told me that the reason my mashups dont sound as loud as regular tracks is because I am destroying the dynamics by double compressing the music files Cause the original tracks are already mastered.

Would appreciate any insight yall can provide. thank you!
