Hard techno production

[DjFeelgood]

I'm a begginer in hard techno production and I have few question that need to be answered:
1. Where can i find good hard techno (1999-2005 era) style loops?
2. Where can I find lessons and tutorial how produce this kind of style? - dont say youtube beacuse there are only few of them and most tutorial are minimal techno.
3. Which vsti are most popular for this kind of techno?

Do you actually mean Techno?
Or Tekno?
In either case, apply yourself mate. All those questions can be answered by yourself if you put a little energy in finding out.
Listen to the kind of music that you want to make, try to dissect every instrument, take it from there.
EDM is usually heavy set on the drums. Mostly kick vs hat or clap.

Did you read what I wrote and did you click on the link?

 

[DjFeelgood]

Those links are for schranz techno (175bpm) that is not hard techno

I doubt the production techniques between these two will be wildly different.

 

[DjFeelgood]

This. It's not fundamentally that different, even if it's by some definition a different genre. The techniques are more or less the same.

you mean 303's and that distorted kick?

 

[nuttyt]

If you break the song down it is pretty simple.
Just listen to the individual sounds
For instance:
Kicks - K---K---K---K---K---K---K---K
Then you have your hats on the offbeat with a delay and slight reverb, then you have a few percussive hits, then add another with 3 hits slightly quicker hits then you have rides kicking in with a slight delay. Also try panning said instruments slightly.
Bass sounds like its sidechained.

A good thing with hard techno / schranz its all about the drive and percussion try breaking every little instrument down and it should help you

I don't hear any out of the ordinary production techniques. It's all the usual tools.
