Saytek

Saytek (aka Joseph Keevill) has gathered some serious momentum over the last few years, becoming one of the electronic music scene’s most in-demand live acts. With global recognition for his live modular shows and releases on Carl Cox and Christopher Coe’s Awesome Soundwave label.

Spektre

After beginning life as an experimental side-project for members Paul Maddox and Rich Wakley, Spektre find themselves over a decade later as established and respected features of the Techno landscape.

As a production outfit, they have recently released on such imprints as Drumcode, Elevate, Filth on Acid and Unrilis (as well as their own Respekt Recordings) to the acclaim of their peers, with the likes of Adam Beyer, Carl Cox and Alan Fitzpatrick among their plaudits.

About This Course

Ever wanted to see three top techno producers thrown in a (virtual) room together to make a track from scratch and see what happens?

Saytek is known for his impressive live sets featuring analogue gear that creates unique sonic results. In this special collaboration, he teams up with techno powerhouse Spektre, who gather a cool 500,000 Spotify plays a month, to create a song from start to finish.

From beginning with a simple drum pattern, to advanced sound design techniques, this lesson has something to offer for all aspiring house & techno producers. Tips on arrangement and workflow offer the chance for beginner and experienced producers alike to improve their productivity during composition.

No external plugins used. Project created on Ableton Live.

You will learn:

• How to create clips within Ableton Live’s session view to use as building blocks to a track
• How to program drums using samples and MIDI
• How to write a bassline
• How to write chords
• Ensuring that elements are all playing in the same key
• How to warp and chop vocals
• How to process elements with plugins: Compressor, Auto filter, Echo and more
• How to synthesise a riser using Analog
• Adding movement with LFOs and automation
• Methods of arrangement and composition
• How to resample a MIDI track into an audio sample
• How to create a compelling build-up
• Critical listening and making improvements
• Sharing projects and collaboration

Lessons: 

1. Creating a Drum Pattern

Saytek demonstrates how to create a drum pattern using Ableton Live stock plugins.

• Introduction
• Making a pumping kick
• Using toms to make a bassline
• Adding a hi-hat
• Adding a clap
• Adding a ride
• Filling out drums with a percussive loop
• Making a pumping kick 2

2. Making a bassline

In this next chapter, Saytek builds a bassline as a solid basis for the track. He uses analog, a synth available within Ableton Live.

• Preparing a piano roll for efficient composition
• Making a bass sound
• Shaping a sound by changing its envelope

3. Adding chords

How chords can be used to add character to a track.

• Writing chords in the piano roll
• Transforming the sound

4. Adding vocals

• Choosing a sample
• Track organisation & project sharing

5. Sound Design

Spektre are given the project and they begin by focusing on sound design. They demonstrate how to evolve a synth, add movement and edit drum transients.

• Customizing drum transients
• Creating a melody
• Processing a synth
• Evolving a sound
• Ensuring drums are in phase
• Using automation instead of an LFO

6. Arranging a track

Once elements have been built, Spektre begin to form an arrangement, blending the elements together using automation.

• Preparation
• Blending in elements
• Evolving a sound 2
• Filling in the gaps

7. Creative vocal processing

Saytek utilises sound design techniques to transform a vocal sample, making a perfect transition sound.

• Intro and recap
• Adding and chopping a vocal sample
• Compressing vocals
• Adding a delay using send & return

8. Creative percussion processing

How to use percussion to enhance a buildup.

• Using a clap during a buildup
• Layering a clap and using a filter delay

9. Creating a riser in Ableton Live’s ‘Analog’

Saytek shows how to create a riser from scratch, within Ableton Live’s ‘Analog’ synth

10. Resampling a MIDI track

How to quickly bounce a MIDI loop to audio for further processing. Saytek then warps the sample to make an atmospheric sweep.

• How to bounce MIDI roll to audio
• Creating a loop
• Combining filters
• Using Echo and warping sample
• Adding vinyl distortion
• Organising the project

11. Making an intro

Spektre create space at the beginning of the track to make an intro using the elements created so far.

• Creating space within the arrangement
• Creating minimalistic drums
• Resampling within Ableton
• Fading in chords
• Building upon minimal drums
• Adding a breakdown
• Adding melodic elements

12. Building on the track

With the arrangement in place, Spektre begin to focus on improving the track with variation and subtle changes.

• Removing rumble from riser
• Critical listening
• Building on the break
• Building percussion
• Extending the project with a second verse and outro
• Listening to the final track

13. Live Q&A Part 1

Saytek and Spektre answer questions on collaborating remotely, tuning samples and recommendations for equipment in this Q&A.

• Discussion on file sharing during collaborations.
• Spektre discuss ideas to progress the track
• Good headphones for production?
• What’s the difference between having a loop linked or unlinked when automating.
• What is the reason for putting a delay on a channel, instead of a send.
• Would you generally use sidechaining at the production stage or the mixdown stage?
• What is the process of renting out a studio or booking studio time?
• Do you check the root note of the kick to tune it to other instruments?

14. Live Q&A Part 2

Saytek and Spektre answer questions on automation, third party synths and improving as a producer.

• On a breakdown section, could you use volume automation to create a build up?
• Would you recommend any third-party synths?

• Frequently Asked Questions:

  1. Innovative Business Model:
     • Embrace the reality of a genuine business! Our approach involves forming a group buy, where we collectively share the costs among members. Using these funds, we purchase sought-after courses from sale pages and make them accessible to individuals facing financial constraints.

     • The legality of our operations falls into a gray area. While we lack explicit approval from the course authors for resale, there’s a technicality at play.
