How To Make House Music | Ableton Live Music Production Tutorial, with Justin Lewis Beck 

Been producing music for 3 years, DJing for 5 and obsessed with house music since the age of 5 listening to defected, toolroom and all things jackin.. Think you just taught me more in 13 minutes than most videos have in hours! This is epic and straight down to it!

I was a hip hop type of producer (just for fun), then i played Sonic CD and good lord, the house and New Jack Swing are wild, now i'm here learning how to make house music

Immediately sent this to my son. Im from chicago . He makes music and we need a great cut right now. That bass dropping 🔥 is EXACTLY what house is.

A well constructed and straight forward approach to house music creation. I will take some pointers from this especially bass matching on chords, nice one

Just recently learnt about the Groove pool option in Ableton.. Game changer for drums so much more realistic sounding but so much simpler to achieve

I’ve watched countless videos on techniques for house music that spanned hours long and really in detail explanation and yet this has been the simplest and most useful straight forward video I saw! Thank you!

I have been wanting to try something new to show my love of this genre for a while but never really understood it until this beautifully simple breakdown showed me where to start. thank you so much!

This tutorial is legit. Thanks mate.

been djing old skool rave house euro italian house for the last 20 odd years now its time to make my first track,,, watched loads of vidoes and you just give me what i was looking for

Best video I've watched in my entire life on House!

JUSTIN YOU ARE AMAZING, GOD BLESS YOU

seriously, the best video for those starting out and even for someone like me who has been dabbling in house music production for over 10 years, this has been super helpful...Thank you sir!

This is GOLD! Thank you.

I loved how u explained everything well done

Great content, well explained, thanks for sharing

9:30 hit different man, what a simple but banging technique

Tonight I just finished playing with a track which I do often lol. I have all the sounds and everything as I want it just I couldn't get a good formation that kept me intrested. This makes so much sense and I think when I go back to my track this template might just make it complete. I've been watching countless videos and this is by far the most simple and thought out explanation. Thank you.

This guys a really good teacher

Nice. Simple. Direct. No fuss. Just House!

Sweet thanks for the tutorial and tips!

I have been making music for 8 years now and consider myself an intermediate but still learned a lot from this video, especially the tip on including the snare in the hats midi file to make it more coherent was bomb

Hi all, Lewis Beck is starting his weekly show on how to make music today, 1pm EDT, on our channel! we also have $10K in daily giveaways from our partners!

nailed that minimal vibe, ty dude

The tip to only use one oscillator is pretty good - I don't think that's a 'hard and fast' rule but it's good because it will force you to keep it simple. The phase cancellation he talks about only happens when two oscillators aren't in tune (detuning will result in a 'fatter' sound but will have some phase cancellation). Remember, house music isn't necessarily using the most high tech instruments and super high quality sounds, it's about the groove and the feeling. So play around with the groove of the hi hats and the chords and bass, and if it doesn't feel right don't be afraid to move stuff around. Another tip he doesn't mention is that in general, you want to avoid putting bass notes on the quarter notes of the measure (when the kick drum hits). Again, this is not a hard and fast rule, but if you focus on the 16th notes AROUND the kick and snare, with swing, it'll feel much more syncopated and groovy.

It's literally what I needed! Thanks mate!

Beautiful explanation many thanks.

Great job thank you my man, so simple yet so informative

You brought me out of the depths of my Andy Dwyer meme life because at this point I've been too afraid to ask. Thanks dude. Hell yes.

Excellent Knowledge and Teaching

Very helpful, thank you!. Great video great teacher

Great tutorial, TY!

Ahoy, good Day, thanks for this Video Tutorial, i have fun and learn by you, many thanks. :)

today I start my producer career :D and I search and I find u content, awesome mate, Many thanks!

Great video guys. Love Todd Terry. He a real house gangsta!!! Much love

The highhats were eluding me for the longest time. I didn't realize there was a mid hh in there giving it that feel. Awesome vid.

That was extremely helpful. Thank you

Thanks a lot Justin

Hi, thanks for the crystal clear example. I am from the UK and the 90s house music era was so great. Now I bought an interface (initially for vocals) I am taking advantage of the free ableton software. Thus to say, I was searching RU-vid how to make music and it seems ii got lucky! As some other people have sat through hours of turorials and seem to be happy with your straight and to the point video as do I. As I am a TOTAL Novice, I have a question for anyone reading this post? Are the tracks you use, are they Audio tracks to start with or midi tracks? OR how many of each do you use? ANY advise would be appreciated, as I woudl liek to know how to set it up correctly.. ie so that i can do a tidy job. Ok well even if noone writes back, thanks for the knowledge.. ;)

Perfect, 🙏 merci

Thank you so much this is amazing

Nice video Justin. Thanks

Just got the Arturia, thanks

man that's crazy, thanks

Hi there, love this video! really good tutorial:) I was wondering if you have a tutorial to get to this point where you have what you produced, all the layers! So the steps before you got to this! Thankyouuuu!

Great lecture

Hi... Thank you for sharing the tips..... Can u show us how to arrange the all 3 hihats in 16 beat midi please?

Video is great, helped a ton with my bassline on a WIP track!

I love the 909 kit! It hits screams the 90s! I love that sound!

Your a great Dude, thx for the video :)

Thanks for the info bro!!

Great Man

You are so nice teacher!! :)tkss

very informative! good job

Enjoyed your video! Thank you

where do I find justin's music? he said he released on todd terry's label?

So, micro chords are chords? So you have a fast A and a medium D, your S is way low and your R is at one third.I loved many a banging tune that sounds like this one.

Helpful!

for Fl users how much do we add to get similar swing?

holy hell i wanna make house music, have loved it since finding harder better faster stronger when i was 7. but i look at the program and it all seems so overwhelming and a lot to learn

thank *YOU*

HOLA EN EL MINUTO 10.42 HABLA SOBRE EL RACK DEL PERCUSIONES , NO ENTENDI BIEN PERO DICE QUE USA UN PRESET DE GROOVE PARA TODAS LAS PERCUSIONES? O ENTENDI MAL? SI ALGUIEN SABE POR FAVOR ME EXPLICA, GRACIAS

what bassline did you use there? sounds too good

Is there a link or somewhere I can find this track finished?

That's Awesome...Hey, I'm getting stuck in my making, is There a pattern as in regular music with house? I mean I'm from Chicago and been there With Farley, and all of the Chicago house DJ's. I used to dj a bit, but now I'm making it, but I really never listened to a whole album Haaaahaaa so I'm stuck, any ideas. Hahaha

how did you set the delay on the keys?

BEST VIDEO EVER. ThanksThanksThanksThanksThanks

Nice tutorial my man...good job

I fucking love this video! just straight to the point THANKSS

Great video ! Was this track ever finished/ released ??

how do you get everything in the same key ?

i wish there was an advanced version of this video. I really like your way of explaining things

🔥🔥🔥

the best

So for the bass line do you just play the root notes of your chords?

Man he makes it look so fucking simple jajajaja ! Awesome video.

Well done brother! House music is the best for creating your own sound on a DAW

This helped me a lot!💯 Though I'm working with FLStudio, your explanation of the layout of a house track really gave me a push in the right direction!🥳

tnx bro

How did u add the hats and snares bc I’m having trouble with that

Where can I find the samples used in this?

Can someone please tell me how to create the pattern he used please

where do I get the packs and basselines and stuff

Awesome tutorial! Subscribe!

Where can I find the MaxV Roland909 kit?

Nice and simply laid out

What's the difference between putting effects on a return compared to just putting them on the audio track itself?

I think I'm being stupid or just don't have the correct plug-ins, but I can't seem to get the same features at the bottom for copying the hi-hats. The Roland kit doesn't come up and when I add the 909 kit to a MIDI clip, it doesn't feature the same layout or varied hi-hat options. Any help out there? Thanks!

Is there a video where you show how to make this but from scratch?

Blocking the delay spoke with the camera a bit but other than that great info !

where can I get the same kick?

is that vocal sample also in Fishers - You Little Beauty

how did you get that 909 kit ? was it free

❤❤❤❤

What is this plugin called?
