    If you want to make a replica of a classic TB-303 acid bass line (without spending thousands of dollars!) this is how you can get something sounding close using just simple stock plugins.
    In this step-by-step techno production tutorial, I ONLY use the stock plugins that come with Ableton Live 10, and you can download it for free and play ’til your little heart’s content - breaking apart my methods and using them yourself.
    (Grab the free Ableton Live project file here: bit.ly/2TsyHjJ)
    If you’ve ever wondered how to make music like Charlotte de Witte, Amelie Lens, Adam Beyer or other techno artists (like those on labels such as Drumcode), this will give you an insight into how to achieve similar results.
    This isn’t only a tutorial on how to make techno in Ableton Live, though…you can use the same methods in FL Studio or Logic X, to produce your own techno in the style of Charlotte de Witte, Amelie Lens or Adam Beyer.

I just absolutely love all the synths used in this song. I'm trying to learn synths at the moment but I can't find anything close to the sounds. I would really appreciate any advice on how to emulate similar sounds to this track. Thanks again for creating awesome content 👍🏼

Length of intro, verse, build, chorus/drop, outro. It would be EXTREMELY helpful in understanding how to finish an ENTIRE song from START to FINISH on your "how to make..." videos.

      The Roland TB-3 sounds way better than the sound he created in this tutorial. You may replace the TB-3 with a TD-3, to save some bucks, if you want hardware.
      If you want a really good 303 emulation VST under $100, go with ABL3. You won't ever get as close with sound design

    THE 303 CAN'T BE REPLICATED WITH SOUND DESIGN!
    First I want to pint out two lesser issues I noticed:
    1. You are talking about a TB-303, while showing a picture of the RE-303.
    2. The kick is clipping like crazy and the master is redlining.
    Now, about the 303 content:
    Tutorials claiming to replicate the TB-303 sound with sound design are misleading. They cause aspiring producers to create bad sounding Acid lines. This is why:
    The TB-303 can only be accurately replicated using VSTs or hardware clones specifically designed for this task. This is because the TB-303 is not comparable to any regular synth. The following links are going more into detail.
    Anton Savov, developer of Venom VB-303, points out on his website, that the 303 can not be replicated by the sum of its parts: antonsavov.net/cms/projects/venom-vb-303.html And here are the original waveforms of the 303
    It is also interesting how the waveforms of the original TB-303 actually look like:
    www.tinyloops.com/tb303/sound_vco.html
    Here is a list of synths I recommend to create the 303 sound.

      ​@@keithlane4705 I did not use the AcidBox VST. I watched an example video on CZcams and did not like the sound of it. Roland's cloud VST and ABL3 are the best sounding TB-303 VSTs, followed by Phoscyon. ABL3 is the best option, when you just want to buy an amazing sounding 303 VST for a fixed price blow $100. Roland's cloud TB-303 is $150 one time purchase (you can get the Behringer TD-3 analog hardware clone for less than that) or a $30/month "Ultimate" cloud subscription, which includes access to the rest of the cloud offers. Phoscyon is very affordable. It's also often on sale. It's old and I don't like its non-resizable UI, which is not well organized and hard to read on my Laptop screen. The built-in distortion sounds really good. Though, I think that Phoscyon's plain 303 sound can't match the other two. It's not bad, but the other ones sound better to me. Then there are the two free options I mentioned, which are not easy to install or operate.
