Producing a Melodic Techno Track

After having taken this class, you'll have seen a complete production process first hand, starting from nothing and working through all the different important stages of the production process, from start to finish. The track is inspired by artists like Ame, Boris Brechja and of course, Francois Rengere.

What's required?

  • Basic understanding of using Ableton (like loading files, creating MIDI clips, etc - check our other mini Ableton refresher in Part 6 for the basics)
  • Ableton Live 10 Suite (or higher)
  • VST: SERUM
  • Optional, but not necessary VST: NI Massive (1.5xx or higher) - we are providing presets and explanations for SERUM Vst
  • no other 3rd party plugins needed

We have updated this course with additional videos and a project file version only using Ableton Live Suite + SERUM VST. So the VST plugin NI Massive is not absolutely necessary anymore. You can also run the course and use the files when you have Ableton Live 10 Suite (or higher versions) and SERUM installed on your system.


This course and project file runs on Apple Silicon (M1, M1,..) chips as well.

What song is being produced in the course?

The course will take you through:

  • Idea generation (first in Session View, later we switch to Arrangement View)
  • Writing powerful chords and advanced MIDI writing techniques
  • Writing fat and powerful drums
  • Writing melodies

  • Making vocal chops and effects
  • Creating pitch effects, LFO shapes and noise techniques
  • Filtering, EQing, Vibrato, Envelope shaping
  • Layering and sound stacking
  • Creating deep house arpeggios and melodies
  • Creative arrangement (taking your 8 Bar loops and turning them into a full song)
  • Mixing: We are completely mixing the track using techniques like "frequency masking", mid-side mixing, and many more
  • Mastering: in the end we are fully mastering the track with a custom Ableton effect rack chain.
