Producing hands-up

[Nightcore4eva]

Hi guys,

I've decided to start producing hands-up techno and need some advice. Watched heaps of tutorials but it seems like I'm going nowhere :P I was wondering if anyone could give me some basic advice? I.e how often should the main hook be repeated, etc. Thanks!

Fl studio is I think best to start with. Its hard to find a real tutorial. most of them are showing how they creating a melody.But its nice way to get little idea. Best way to create melody is use chords. I learned most chords from playing piano.

I have FL Studio 12- if you don't have it, you should get it, it's great! I've come up with some melodies which are pretty ok, it's just the effects which are hindering me :P Do you have any hands up I can listen to? :)

Dude that is awesome! Did you use Nexus or Sylenth?

[toptrancemaster]

Yes I use nexus and sylenth
sylenth is my favorite.
also use some radom synths like zta+3

Z3ta is brilliant- making your own sounds and so on. How long have you been producing for, and which program do you use?
