I am curious to know what the techno song is called from the fairly newer geico commercials. It is always played when the stack of money with plastic eye balls comes on screen. The tune is rather catchy… haha.

My friend got me into techno and now i want to know alot of those songs with lots of bass for my big speakers.

SOAK – Miraflores (Retroid Remix)
Trentemoller – Klodmajor [This is the only track in this list that is actually techno. If you're confused why the rest aren't really techno, e-mail me.]

Far Too Loud – Play It Loud (Broken Robot Mix)
Simon Patterson – Bulldozer
Dima Krasnik – Rise (Natlife Remix)

I recently got into techno and rave music. I like Basshunter (alot) and also Darude and Cascada. I also like techno remixes of popular songs (love story by taylor swift, boom boom pow by the black eyed peas) How can I make my own remixes of songs? Do I need certain equipment? And if so, what do I need and where can I find it?

The least you’ll ever need is either Fruityloops (recommended solely for beginners) or Reason 4. You can buy it at http://www.musiciansfriend.com/ .

I want a program that already has the beats in it. Like premade tracks waiting to be put in a techno song. I already have mixcraft 4. Or can you tell me how to get tracks for Mixcraft?

Hands down Acid Music (version 3.0) is very easy to use and you can download a ton of loops for it using searches for Fruity Loops, Sony ACID Music Studio (Much harder to use than the version 3.0), and a ton on the web. I have used this to make many songs and it is very user friendly. Since this is an old version, you might find it on EBay or Amazon (but most likely nowhere else!).

I am not familiar with Mixcraft but I have tried products from MAGIX and they eat up way to many resources and don’t have the ease of use like ACID Music 3.X.

Good Luck!

I know an alright amount of techno, but I wanna know, what are the different variations of techno, like house, trance, electronica, electro, breakore and all that good stuff and what exactly makes each version what it is. Thanks.

It depends on the synthesizer…

I deeply enjoy beautiful techno and want to try making some of my own. I don’t know where to start and don;t have a large wallet, so I need suggestions!

I’ve torrented and installed Hypersonic 2, but it crashed at startup.
It’s for my laptop which is a HP Pavilion ZV6000 with boosted ram. I was able to run eJay without lag, but it seemed too basic for what I’m looking for..
Which programs would you recommend? Serious answers please!

I just torrent "techno Music Software" on Pirate Bay and it gave me some suggestions.

I’m trying to find a good editor to create some techno/dance/electronica sounding songs just for something to do.
