Production Tutorial: Making a glitchy D&B song from scratch (Part 1)

In this video we show our entire process of creating a track from beginning to end. Part 1 focuses on generating random sounds, and Part 2 (which will be released next week) looks at arranging those sounds into a finished song.

00:00:00 - Starting ideas with simple drums, bass and melody
00:14:27 - Glitching melody and processing with Rift
00:35:00 - Processing drums
00:43:42 - Creating pads
00:50:15 - Intro idea
00:57:00 - Amen breaks and arp drums
01:03:45 - Lost In Thought drums
01:12:06 - Glitching and processing drums
01:28:45 - Creating reese bass
01:36:09 - Processing reese & glitchy drums together with gates
01:53:57 - Trying new elements together in an intro
02:02:43 - Making 16th note melodic parts with Tension

For that 'bug' with the device randomizer not mapping to gain and feedback I would just make a rack first, randomize the macros and then start mapping parameters to them, that way it does work fine.

PLEASE do more stuff like this. Tracks from scratch.

Hi Max, try downloading/installing this pack. It should be included - https://www.ableton.com/en/packs/max-live-essentials/

Hey guys, first of all thanks for everything! Quick question: when I download the max for live device randomizer, it does not look at all like the one you use in this video, and doesn't seem to work at all. Any tips on what I might be missing? It is the only one I can find online. Thanks in advance!

I have noticed that device randomizer doesn't automatically map any macros named "Gain" "Feedback" etc. I think they made it so on purpose so as to not make anyone deaf. If you rename the macro to anything else the issue goes away. Awesome tutorial BTW!

Amazing !

I made some stuff with M4L in University and from my experience there isnt anything in particular that causes these bugs. M4L just likes to misbehave whenever it feels like it......
