Techno Rumble Mastery
This is the techno rumble tutorial to end all techno rumble tutorials. It condenses the principles that you find in all other rumble tutorials online into 3 logical levels: the basic, the intermediate, and the mastery level.
- The basic level: making a rumble in parrallel by smearing, low-passing and ducking the kick.
- The intermediate level: adding saturation, EQ and limiting on the rumble and the group.
- The mastery level: creating a sound sculpture by adding texture, percussion and atmosphere.

Thanks for this amigo!!
Very cool that you post a 1click dl links for the sheet´s without any consideration. I think this channel will grow very quickly. Maybe we´ll see you on twitch?
I saw that Fuse shirt in your techno rumble vid and i knew i had another belgian on hands xD i lived in brussels for 8 years but recently moved to ghent , really miss the grit :( ... Love the channel ! If u ever need personal cello samples or collab im your man ;)
Thanks for the tips and for the graphics.
Hi man, loved the video, learned heaps! I wanna grab this poster but the links seem to be broken :( any chance of a reupload?
Never stop making techno tutorials. You're hands down my favourite music production teacher on KZhead, your teaching style is perfect.
Agree
this! :)
For real
Didn't know Johnny Sins was also a avid music producer.
Xd
All jobs bro, all jobs
Also has a successful line of cleaning products 😂
Honestly, this is the best explanation of kick and rumble production out there. You’re an amazing teacher. Thank you!!
This dude is a genius. I can imaging what attending his masterclass will make of a difference.
This is just too good to be free on youtube, you're an amazing teacher! Thanks a lot !!!
😁 cheers
Dude it really feels like you've got a runescape inventory filled up on your right side.
😁 made me google what that actually looks like
Oh my god
Lmaaooo my guy fishing shrimps
@@rafaelkhan_ Azaaaazza
Holy shit it totally is! hahahah
I'm a musician, amateur producer and 'educational scientist' (Basically I learned a whole lot about designing educational/training content and how people learn). You're my new fucking idol man you are amazing.
Goddamn that's some big praise. Thank you :o
by far the best techno tutorials on youtube
🥰
The high praise in the comments is well deserved. Excellent tutorial.
Cheers kp 😊✌
I am amazed by how techno is basically 70% processed kick, 20% oscillators and 10% other percussion. Great video man!
great info even two years later, thanks.
I tried to recreate 1990s hardtrance reverb-sub-kick, and got stuck on a 'basic" level, lol. I didn't even know that this thing is called "techno-rumble" Until the Skies have sent me this video )) Now I'm on "intermediate" level, which for the sound of 1990s means "like a boss" )) Thanks a lot, very useful!
What I love about this turorial is, that it is structured so well that I can easily follow along even without having looked at ableton once. Using FL and it was really realty helpful. Thank you.
Legit, my new favorite KZhead channel for techno related content.
Yeehaw!
Slamming! As soon as you had all the parts mixed in, and bounced around with the kicks…. Whew!!!!
the best techno channel
Amazing stuff, Oscar! I've never seen anyone lay it out so completely yet clearly.
This is one of the BEST to tutorials I've come across! Great job. Quickly becoming my favourite channel for tip and tricks. Thankyou!!!
Agree to every word, one of my favs channels.
ALL beef, NO fat. This is what I like, no esoteric bullshit, keep it simple and straightforward, damn thanks!!
Been waiting a long time for this. Thank you!
This is so tight! I could literally listen to that kick all day.
Awesome, thanks man, this is brilliant.
the intro to this video is SICK
the whole damn video is SICK
Wooot, can't wait to try this! Thanks Oscar congratz on the 5k subs too. Well deserved 👏
yo, that's awesome! i have been trying to get a grip in techno for a long time, this is gonna help a lot! you're the real OG, subbed.
I haven't produced Techno or House in years and now that I'm curious about it again, this channel is exactly what I need and is not only extremely helpful but also very inspiring! Well done, new sub here.
This channel is an incredible resource, thank you!
thank you! love this
I've been struggling with rumbles and grooves, but this is INCREDIBLY helpful! Thank you so much for a great tutorial!
I feel like I've stumbled onto a magic KZhead channel, this is phenomenal, thank you. +1 sub from me.
yes such quality!
Yeas
This guy is so pleasant to listen..
Yep - same here - awesome stuff
I %100 agree
I love your videos man. You're an amazing teacher, so glad I found your channel!
Such a great video! Love the level buildup!
The best techno tutorials actually 👌👌
Wow, this was awesome 👌 I don't usually go for this sound but have to admit this was really inspiring and had me hooked till the end, loved the switching between different master level versions! This channel is a rare gem, thank you.
Thank you for sharing! This is so helpful...
This is so good! Thank you very much!
It's kind of funny you just posted this now. I was exhausting myself through KZhead videos to find rumble techniques and was going to message you asking for insight or if you had plans to make a video. I wish it were easier for NA producers to get on the classes you offer. Appreciate everything you do and always look forward to your videos. :)
Exactly what i was searching for. What are all the ways to make rumble. All in one video. Great!
Thank you! Tutorials very great!
Detroit-style techno rumbles. +1 approved.
The first best tutorial for rumble techno, thank you !!!!!!
Wow this really is the most accurate YT channel for techno production. Every video ist spot on! I would really appreciate a video on hypnotic/groovy techno (mostly without rumble) like: Oscar Mulero, Eric Fetcher, Jeroen Search... Thank you and keep up the good work! :)
absolutely amazing video, thank you so much
Seriously good stuff! Thx for all your efforts, Oscar....
Best rumble tutorial I've seen.
agree!
Finally! A very talented person showing us amateurs how to create the perfect (and that final version IS perfect) rumble for techno bods. Like him, I've watched pretty much every single YT video on this subject and this is far and away the only one I needed. Seriously great work my friend, I am incredibly thankful. this whole video is like watching a Michelin starred chef explain how to create layers of flavour. Love it.
Thank you for the lesson Oscar! You are awesome!
You're a real master. This is a video to check multiple times. So inspiring
God damn it, now you're about to have me planning out a whole palette case just to be able to do this in modular!
I wasn't hearing any rumble on my phone, for a moment I was worried about my hearing. 🙉 Then I put in my headphones 🎧 because I forgot I was listening to this on my crappy phone speaker 😂
Consistently brilliant, thank you!
oh man... this is brilliant!! thanks so much!!
Dude this is just class mate. Class. You definitely nailed this video. Very clear explanations with a great voice and the sounds are spot on. Deserves more attention. No brainer like and sub.
Master level tutorial. So clear and easy to understand. Also, digging those nails.
Wow this is gold! Thank u 👍
just discover this channel and ....thank god for that!!! very cool videos and very well explained, thanks!
Your tutorials are incredible, thank you for putting them online. You're a great teacher.
Thank you 😊
As someone who used to work on electronic music way back in 2000 as a highschool student, with zero music theory, or background in music - its amazing seeing how you're supposed to actually engineer these sounds. I used to kinda "fake" what I heard and tried to recreate it in Reason and such. Usually layering multiple drum kicks, and delay and reverb.
I'm just trying to do this in Reason. I think I'm somewhere there where you already have been :D
This was brilliant, thanks Oscar!
Outstanding. Absolutely outstanding.
Amazing stuff, Thank you for a very Informative Tutorial. Please do a Tutorial on Techno Pads, Thanks.
Wow just wow, you are an amazing teacher hands down the best one Ive seen ever since I got interested in Techno. You're very precise and your work is very detailed. I appreciate people like you, the ones who are willing to share their knowledge for the love of what they do and for the greater good. Never stop inspiring ❤
I'm without words... THANK YOU!
Thank you so much! I live the mastery 2 sound!
That 2nd Mastery example at around 15:00 fits PERFECTLY with the hats and synth. It just instantly hit me with inspiration :) Fantastic channel, keep up the great work!
agree 100%
Blessed to have come across this. Been trying to create fusion trap/edm and it's been really challenging. A lot of hybrid genre, experimental stuff is sonically, not quite there yet- and work like yours is gonna help us super young artists, try some crazy new stuff and push the barriers of music. Thanks for this, definitely subbed.
Love this tutorial, got me into the studio and trying out some techno! Having a blast with it
Woah! Thank you much! This is so incredibly valuable 😎
Would love to hear Underdogs take on the zip, zap, zoops of some of Blawan's latest stuff! Absolutely awesome tutorial as always Oscar, thank you!
It's all that wild modular synth stuff 😁 so hard to do a tutorial on that... But definitely am trying to figure it out!
@@OscarUnderdog also check 'red raw' from cj bolland
I have been a synth enthusiast for 4 years, really went for a deep dive. Loved the sound, really love techno. But drums where never my thing. Until I found this channel, it’s a life changer
Big words 🙏❤ big love
Then get grown and make some real music, techno is for kids and dummies and isn't a music actually.
@@yajrobot thx for your opinion!
@@yajrobot well then i'm glad that techno 'isn't a music actually', because music is for babies.
Oscar you are truly amazing! I really appreciate you
Man. You're amazing. I've been looking for this forever!
Thanks for sharing all your hard work. I really do appreciate it. I woke up two years ago paralysed from the chest down and i have been in hospital for those two years. Watching your posts has been fantastic for my head. I have to wait now to get back into the studio once its been adapted for me. Thank you once again and i hope 2022 brings you good fortune.
All the best mate, that's quite a tale 😌🙏 good luck!
This is a very good tutorial. I don't produce techno but the buss processing and routing you went over also applies to all genres. Great quality tutorials, keep it up!
Cheers Miko!
Just perfect. Thank you for sharing this knowledge!
From Mexico, you are amazing!
I just wanted to say, thank you so much for your videos. They are clear, straight to the point and carry tons of useful information. It's hard to find production tutorials for intermediate and advanced producers who want to learn new skills and refresh their knowledge. Keep them coming!
❤️
I really love your nails! 😍🥰 Thanks for such a legit tutorial, I can't wait to go try this out and see if I can master the Mastery Rumble.
Haha cheers, glad you like 'em :D
Amazing tutorial! Thank you so much for your content ✨
Excellent tutorial. Thank you!
Just recently discovered your channel, I really appreciate your straight to the point approach. Would love to see a turorial/ guide on how to achieve tonal balance. just as you mentioned i've experienced very often that my music much bass heavier then the reference tracks i use, while at the same time, when hearing it on a louder system it complete lacks beef
The answer to this is partially getting a good monitoring system (subwoofer & sonarworks), partially using reference tracks (see the video on RMS and Peak volume), and then focusing on getting the mids to sound banging without relying on the sub frequencies.
Beat channel ever so professional
Brilliantly explained thank you
Love You man, thanks for everything!
Very cool techniques. I'm trying to apply to an all hardware setup. Different challenges but I think your approach is helpful. Thanks. Also love the section about tonal balance! My nemesis.
How are you trying to apply it to a hardware set up? Routing individual outs?
Resampling ?
I’ve been trying something similar with all hardware (in fact, almost all analogue): the trick is that the reverb tail from percussion is pretty much just filtered noise, especially if you’ve sidechained out all of the early reflections. So, some white noise through a band pass filter can give you a pretty good rumble without even needing reverb, and you can shape it in all sorts of creative ways.
You are so good in explaning things man , u should do video on audio effects, that will be huge for us.
Any effects in particular giving you trouble?
@@OscarUnderdog yes compressor
Really enjoyed this process thank you
I LOVE how you explain your FX chains in these flow charts. Best tutorial format I've seen yet. Thank you!
Good techno rumble gives me those industrial psytrance vibes. GIMME THE TRIPLETS
Thanks for sharing your experience, my only problem is that I have to convert all your awesome tutorials to Logic Pro, but your explanation is so clear and well structured that I always succeed, really good thanks!
That's so good to hear :D
Really in-depth tutorial!! Thank you
fantastic as always, Oscar !
Now I am really curious how techniques like this translate to music outside of Techno. Textures created from obliterating a duplicate channel that maybe isn't using a kick as source material or not using a 4x4 beat. Makes me really want to learn more about how the music is made from artists like Roly Porter and Emptyset.
This channel is fucking unreal, you’ll be blowing up soon
Hope so! Spread the word 😁
really great tutorial! thank You very much!
Wow that mastery version 3 sounds incredible, such a groove!!
Underdog ma man, this shit sounds good!
Ow yyyeeeeaaa, cheers b2k
Very interesting video! Thank you! Do you make techno on modular? I see you have some system on your table. Would love to see your takes on how to do the same in modular, cause there you can't create that much layers, and every piece of effects is taking up precious HP.
So far my approach tends to be to record the modular into Ableton and use it as a layer - not to try to do an entire composition on modular just yet. I don't have enough units or rack space or money to make that happen yet :D maybe someday though. Got myself an Elektron Rytm as well to do the heavy lifting for the drum programming, which then can be complemented with the modular I think! Am exploring it still, not super confident sharing it on the channel yet :D
@@OscarUnderdog Thanks for reply! I'm trying to create modular system for playing techno live, it's a lot of fun! (I don't like doing music on computer) I think you can use VCV Rack to explore modular without buying all these modules, might want to look into that!
Very good tutorial, well explained and rumbles sound good! Well done!
