The Secrets Of Dance Music Production
Revealed
Trance Composition and Arrangement
From song conception and composition to instrumentation
and arrangement, down to the ins and outs of breakdowns, fill-ins
and mix-outs, you’ll walk through each step, up close and
personal.
Mixing and Production In The Box
You’ll discover the finer points of mixing and production
“in the box.” From the basics like instrument and
vocal levels and on through to the mastering process, every phase
of the process is described in deep detail, so you don’t
miss a thing.
Signal Processing Techniques
Since The Trance Experience is an OpenMix™
interactive course, that means you get all of Torsten’s
original session files. You’ll see each and every one of
the effect settings used to create the tracks. Tweak them gently,
take them to extremes or use them “as is” on your own
productions!
Adventures in Sound Design
Want to know how to create a kick drum from a sine wave? Curious
about FM synthesis? Or why this string part goes with that guitar
pattern? You’ll get the information you need in a way that
makes perfect sense to beginners as well as seasoned
veterans.
Get Into the Loop
Get the lowdown on loops: Slicing, dicing, or mangling
–find out how and then experiment in actual musical
settings.
Sessions in Three Styles: Vocal Trance, Remix, and
Chillout
Since electronic music has so many different categories
and sub-genres, you’ll get an expansive overview of all the
leading Trance styles---not to mention practical hands-on
experience using three popular genres: Vocal Trance, Remix, and
Chillout.
