Point Blank Tutorial: Techno Production Tips with GNTN
GNTN share three essential techniques in their productions in this Masterclass video.
At last year’s ADE, Point Blank joined techno duo GNTN for an exclusive masterclass packed with tips for producing techno. Specifically, the duo demonstrates creative ways you can slice audio to MIDI in Ableton Live and make your own shakers, hi-hats and FX using organic sounds, vocal samples and more.
The German DJ/production outfit has released music on influential underground imprints such as Filth on Acid and Stil vor Talent. They’re championed for their complex melodies, warm basslines and hypnotizing mixes – a combination which has landed them gigs at Egg London and festivals such as Parookaville and SonneMondSterne.
During the video, the pair demonstrate three essential techniques: how to make a simple and effective shaker which you can have complete control over, how to create an interesting hi-hat using organic sounds from nature and lastly, how to produce tension-filled build-ups with vocal samples. The processes demonstrated in the video have limitless possibilities for experimentation and are perfect for creating your own signature sounds.
