Make more sophisticated and exciting music with this indispensible guide!
The "Overview" and "Concepts" sections present a brief history of digital music production and the role of the producer, as well as providing a foundation of basic audio and MIDI concepts used throughout the course. There are two general sections, "Synths & Samplers" and "Time & Pitch," which illustrate the techniques of digital music production. These sections use examples primarily from Native Instruments Absynth and Kontakt, as well as Sony Acid Pro and Pro Tools Beat Detective.
There are four sections which address creating music for specific instrument groups: the "Drums" section uses examples from FXpansion BFD and GURU, as well as Ableton Live Impulse and FL Studio. The "Guitar & Bass" section focuses on Steinberg Virtual Guitarist, MusicLab RealGuitar, Spectrasonics Trilogy, and Bornemark Broomstick Bass. The "Jazz & Orchestra" section includes examples from the Garritan Jazz & Big Band, Cakewalk Dimension Pro, Giga Virtual Instrument, Propellerheads Reason Piano Refill, and Kontakt. The "Vocals" section covers vocal editing and processing using Melodyne Celemony and the Waves Vocal Bundle, as well as addressing such topics as Vocoders, stutter, and vocal extraction.
The Digital Producer tutorials are 4 hours and 6 minutes of Adobe Flash interactive videos in data DVD format.
