I can't stop thinking they are actually sitting in front of two 15" laptop screens and that they are just two very tiny men

[gnuttz]

I never realised how that writing dance music tracks is more than the rhythms and the music but equally about sonics, eq, compression, reverb, synth programming, ADSR, LFO's, filters, side chaining, levels, mixing, audio, midi etc etc A producer has to be incredibly knowledgeable in all these areas whilst still maintaining musical knowledge, ability and rhythmic creativity. Its hard to appreciate all these aspects when hearing dance music in a club as it often sounds fairly simple which it isn't.

[Kmusic]

Is that the fucking Starship Enterprise they are producing with??

[RockstahRolln]

This vid was terrific because they are sculpting frequencies and volume to fill up frequency ranges to make the track sound fuller. Great job!! Lots to learn here!

[geraldgoodiii]

These guys really understand structure and writing for the dance floor. Clearly talented. I just wish more original sound design went into it. Just a humble opinion. Not hating one bit.

[AlexisK-Octo]

I would love to have a tuto on how to make those stabs or a link to the preset they used.

[AstronoizeOfficial]

Got some good ideas from this. Great job Gaist! And, thank you Computer Music for sharing!!

[aaronhedgesmusic]

Computer music, why is it mixed so their talking is so loud that you can’t really hear any of the music they are talking about? Makes the video kind of useless

[EskildTrulsen]

Nice! And - love the monitors/displays you have there <3

[JohannesOfficial]

I really enjoyed watching - thank you for this! =) (Please keep with more Techno)

[RichardMorrissey]

Wait, you don't tweak your stock ableton compressor settings? You throw everything at it 2:1 ratio, 2ms attack and 50ms release?

[justinheat]

Classic current techno production, good stuff.

[letsgogiuseppe]

anyone else recognize the kick for capriatis remix of fugitives ???

[ShaneFontane]

is that a SPL meter by the right monitor? dig it

[felipsfroughly]

What is the thing with those alarm clock numbers flashing on the right hand side?

[justinheat]

The link doesn't work for part 2..psh!

[thomasmatthews]

Really good, though why do they have the same haircut?

[stromkraftnet]

Sorry Gaist but the recurring mic glitch sounds took me out of it. Someone could fix that in a few minutes.

[NikoBased]

Nice, two 60 inch TV's an arms reach away. These guys must have bad eyes.

[benjoe]

Bigger the monitor - smaller the brain ratio
