[00:00] Hello my fellow party people. I hope you are all doing good. It's been a while again, I got sick and was in holidays. Today we are going to talk about German techno producer Oliver Hunterman. Holy fuck is this voice! Ha ha ha, I'm literally laughing my ass off right now. Let's get back to that old fart robotic voice.
[00:19] Before the video starts, a little disclaimer. And I choose a serious voice for that. In the next time, there will come some more different genres and styles. I felt kind of bored and exhausted by only doing afterlife stuff.
[00:31] Don't get me wrong. In the beginning, it felt like super new and cool to me. But their style has changed to something that feels like on the assembly line. Band, if you have any requests, shout them out. Play that same song.
[00:44] All right, same song. Here we go. Band, if you have any requests, shout them out. Play that same song. All right, same song. Here we go.
[00:57] And if you have any requests, shout them out. Play that same song. All right, same song. Here we go. It doesn't matter which artist I tried to create.
[01:11] It just felt like the same over and over again. So in the next time I will do some more Boris Bretscher. No mana. Some excitrancy just doing some different stuff. I hope you don't get me wrong and I'm still happy about coming videos.
[01:24] Love you all. Yo here I am back on that normal voice. Today we are going to talk about Oliver Huntermann. Oliver Huntermann born June 19th 1968 in Hanover is a German electronic music producer and internationally touring DJ. Oliver
[01:39] Huntermann's concrete roots can be traced back to early techno. Like so many of his colleagues, his route to techno took a tour through electro and rave. He could tell the usual veteran tales when it comes to influences, his first record
[01:51] purchases or on the subject of the good old days. Since 2014, Hunterman has been running the Ideal of Fame for label, a new chapter after more than five years Ideal Audio plus a host of sub and sister labels. His most famous
[02:04] tracks on Spotify and it took me a really long time to find them because every remix ever made in the history of remixes on his Spotify profile are known as PNOPOL and ROTLIST.
[02:19] So, what are the key elements to create an Oliver Hunterman track? Keep it minimal.
[02:31] Dark kick and bass groove. So, let's get into our DAW. Starting off with a punchy deep kick. I also EQ out some of the higher frequencies because I wanted to put a top kick sound on top of it to get the tricky transient kick
[03:10] Then I made the super easy but deep sub bass and side chained it to the kick.
[03:40] Thank you.
[04:10] sound and made that simple rhythm.
[04:40] Thanks for watching Thank you
[05:17] As you can see really deep dark flow and super nice, then I made these simple off beat hats.
[05:29] I duplicated the main hat two times and panned one of each to the opposite side, then I put some gentle reverb and delay on it to make it really wide.
[06:03] so so
[06:33] Super simple clap snare combination.
[06:56] Reverse the 1 every 4th hit so you get that little extra groove.
[07:26] That's it for the drums.
[07:39] Let's continue with that little pad sound that I connected both of these at the cutoff so we get this little groove in the background.
[07:56] After that I created that little 16th sense sound.
[08:26] As you can see I automated the pitch bend and cut off to keep the sound interesting. It is techno, and techno evolves over time.
[08:49] Then I made some breakdown pads. Oliver Hunteman made these kind of breaks more in his older tracks. and I choose to put this little dark vocal on top, which you can hear in a lot of old dark techno tracks.
[09:25] Thank you
[10:08] Thank you.
[10:38] The human being is a unique creature.
[10:52] All his actions are motivated and united. His character is like the pain. So much so that he also tries to overcome the pain.
[11:08] The desire to suppress. So little can he free himself from the eternal weakness of his feelings.
[11:21] For as long as the stony life is dead, he can not find peace.
[11:36] I'm alive.
[11:54] I'm dead. Last but not least, I took this shot sound and put a vocal on top.
[12:06] Thank you.
[12:36] Thank you.
[13:06] Also like always add some white noise, sweep ups, or candy. Let's listen to the end result.
[13:36] Thank you.
[14:06] Thank you Thank you
[15:00] The human is a unique creature.
[15:28] All his hands are motivated from everything. His character is the pain of life. So much so that he also tries to suppress the pain.
[15:44] The desire to suppress. So little can he free himself from the eternal bondage of his feet.
[16:04] For as long as the snow is dead, he can find no peace.
[16:20] I am alive. I am dead.
[16:50] Thank you.
[17:20] I'm going to go ahead and get started.
[17:50] Thank you.
[18:20] Thank you.
[18:50] Thank you.
[19:20] you
