I forget who did, but thank you for sharing this GEM. I am learning more than I could imagine. I even have tracks up/posted/selling, etc......

lol, rick snoman. Wasn't he the guy that plagiarised umpteen SoundOnSound articles for Future Music and got royally sued, and then was promptly drop-kicked from his FM placement.

lol

Was me,so it was 8)

Ais, I did see the book. Can you give us a brief run-down of the contents and the areas of major bumph? What sort of level (beginner, med, pro) is it aimed at?

thnx m8

aimed at a begginer+ med.......I found some useful eq/programming stuff since I am realy more of a physical player than a programmer. I can create rich electronic and groovey musical/vibe/space........But I'm still rather "white" when it come to mixing/mastering........

Frankly, it's fun to read a fucking book every once in a while!

Re: i wanted to say thank you........
 

Yes it was you you! you lovely purpule thing you......
Seriously, thanks!

BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

:lol:

Never heard that one before!

and there is plenty more........ such as "fruit cake, Jerkey, lil guy (refering to one's tiny winy package), powder puff, sweet cheeks"........ good old americian sarcasm!

Excuse me, some of us are British!

Enjoy your book, but accept there are trained musicians on here who think dance music is just the first step in electronic music.

Back in 82 when I got my first synths, what came out on the way to a songs production, was basically simplistic dance music.

For good training, take a classic song, and produce an electronic version, which does the song justice and keeps it's soul.

Then do the dance music and you'll amaze yourself.

Well i'm an English guy who speaks German....What am i then??
A twat?? :lol:

I WANT THAT BOOK
I WANT THAT BOOK
I WANT THAT BOOK
I WANT THAT BOOK
I WANT THAT BOOK

Hey great advice......
I have a funny background, I was a "trained" guitar player/musician for 15 years before I discovered "DANCE MUSIC".........

No, your "excluded" (Kazul also) from that comment as your music speaks louder than your need to shoot shit out of your ass.....
and you reccomended the book! :wink: 8)

I agree, having been an exlucisive Reason/Digital performer (http://www.motu.com)/Powercore user for over 4 years, I am adding Live 5 to my sequencer/s list.

And you can always play back anytime as a reference...Or just play the videos over and over again and again untill you get the drift of things.

I wish live (version 3+) was around when I got into computer music 9 years ago..... I'd still have some fucking hair on my head! :wink:
