subject: How To Make Techno – The Best Software To Produce Dance Music [print this page] For all those who are looking for information on how to make techno and dance music, I have found the ultimate program that anyone can use - whether you're a complete novice or a professional recording engineer.
All the biggest international DJ's use a very simple sequencing software, just like the one I am using now. (Just so we are clear I'm not talking about professional button pushers, I mean those who actually create and produce their own music)
Sure, they probably pay for the use of a full studio when they are recording vocals for artists on major labels, but the majority of the work can be done on a simple laptop computer with the correct program.
It wasn't too long ago now when I was first starting out and I was tired of playing other peoples music and I wanted to produce my own tracks. I knew nothing about how to make techno, though a DJ friend of mine told me about this software he had been using for a while, so I started messing around with it. It took no time at all to learn and I started banging out some wicked tracks.
Next thing you know, I was mixing them into my own DJ set with tracks from other international DJ's and people were going off! The first time this happened was an awesome feeling. Now, I've got tracks available for download and I'm actually getting paid for it.
This program has all the fundamentals to make techno:
4 Octave sampling Keyboard: all controlled by your computer's keyboard, there is no need for a midi controller
Advanced Sequencer 16 tracks of stereo sound with keyboard shortcuts and the ability to export to 44.1 release quality .wav files.
Drum machine panel with keyboard trigger with stacks of different sounds, all with stereo imaging
As detailed above, there is no need for any additional hardware, just load the software and get banging out those tracks. Don't wonder anymore, start making your own techno track and get people moving!
The whole program is so user friendly, I just wanna tell everyone about it. Don't spend stupid amounts of money on programs that are too complicated to even use.
