Music theory for producer and beats in general for dance production. Something just to keep re-emphasizing everything I am teaching myself so it sticks.. Just good reading in general for someone looking for dance music production and also music theory tips and tricks and 101 type stuff but geared solely toward a producer.

RICK GHASTLY!

 

Here's one for those who use keyboards

I like the tip about recording basslines and melody rhythmically using a single pitch on the keyboard, and then editing the MIDI data vertically later on.

I think this is a non pdf manual.. I was trying to get a pdf version so I can read on my iphone at night.

 

Look a bit harder
