Hey everyone how are you going?? As some of you may know i'm making my own tutorials covering dance music production if not you can check out some of my videos over here http://www.youtube.com/craigwilliamsmusic recently I thought that it might be good to do some videos of me making a track from start to finish.

The first series of videos I have made is covering me making a bass heavy tech house track. If there is anything I cover that you don't understand or if you would like something explained better feel free to leave a comment on the video.

Enjoy

Craig

p.s if I get some good response I will be making more covering some over styles in dance.

Loving these kinds of tutorials, as well as Tech House, I'll definitively give these a watch.

+1

Looking forward to checking it out later.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you. I hope people pick up some tips and tricks to help with there productions.

Wow! I havent checked these out yet but im just about to start at tech house track so they are gone in the queue for later on!!!

Appreciate your work, experience (see there are lots of releases, yes respect) and ambition. But here is my feedback:
I seriously wish these kinds of tutorials "How to make xxx music style" didn't exist Maybe your intention is completely different, about sharing and to help people being creative and I'm just wrong, but I see this as a pure self promotion, sorry.

Just what I feel like because I see so many people commenting on soundcloud just to get up in the business ("nice track. check out mine"). I'm sick of all this for a while now. But again, I might be wrong and just a bit closed minded the last days. Don't want to attack you but give feedback. And I know this will draw a bad light on me most likely.

I think trying out things by yourself is far more challenging and helps you to find your own style. I'm just about to abandon Tech House for this reason
If you love music and have a close listen you can imagine how any sound can be created, try some time and you get it.

hey there thanks for the nice comments i'm glad you like the series and I hope you get something out of it.

To phazedown I can totally see where you are coming from. I must say for the amount of work and time taken to complete the videos it far out ways any promotion that I gain. I'm not going to lie I have received some more followers but the main reason that i'm doing it is so people starting out can learn something to help them on there music making journey. I have learnt a bunch from youtube so I kind of thought that it would be good for me to pay it forward.

I totally agree with you that you need to take the time to try things out and find your own sound. I do also know that when I started I didn't know where to start. I didn't know where to start when it cam to synthesis or drum programming so I think it's nice that people can see how a track is made for free.

Keep rocking

Craig

hey craig,

really good tutorials you got there! I really appreciate the effort and work you put into this.

Would be pretty cool, if you could cover some deeper genres of house music.
Lookin forward to that

Keep up the good work and greetings from Germany!

Going by the time on your post you haven't watched the videos, so it's more a knee jerk response than feedback.

What's the difference between a youtube video and the harmonielehre of old?

Thank you everyone for the nice comments. I had not really got much of a response other than people wanting the Logic session.

I'm going to start a new series covering the future techno sound (NT89, Burns and Evil Nine)
The track is going to be a acid track (I have been playing around with a couple of patterns) and i'll be hoping to incorporate some of my analog gear.

Keep rocking

Craig

I love these videos too. Thank you for your effort.

Cheers
