CHECK OUT DIGITAL PRODUCER: KNOW IT ALL TRAINING COURSE

Apr 24, 2007 1:53 PM

Digital Music Doctor announces the release of a new video training course, Digital Producer: Know It All. This course contains four hours of interactive videos, which cover all major aspects of creating music from digital sources: loops, synthesizers and samplers. It encompasses a wide variety of musical genres—everything from making beats to creating orchestral tracks—and presents a number of examples using popular virtual instruments.

The Overview and Concepts sections present a brief history of digital music production and the role of the producer, as well as provide 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 that 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 Garritan Jazz & Big Band, Cakewalk Dimension Pro, Giga Virtual Instrument, Propellerhead Reason Pianos Refill and Kontakt. The Vocals section covers vocal editing and processing using Melodyne Celemony and the Waves Vocal Bundle, as well addresses topics such as vocoders, stutter and vocal extraction.

Digital Producer: Know It All is presented using Adobe Flash and is available in DVD and digital download formats for Windows XP and Mac OS X. Digital Producer: Know It All is available at www.digitalmusicdoctor.com and www.amazon.com, as well as various online publishers and pro audio dealers. The Digital Music Doctor Website also features demos of the course. This course is part of the Know It All series, which provides training for Digidesign Pro Tools, Steinberg Cubase, Cakewalk Sonar, Adobe Audition, Apple GarageBand, Sony Acid Pro and Sony Sound Forge pro audio software.
