## Description

The Secrets of Dance Music Production: The World's Leading Electronic Music Production Magazine Delivers the Definitive Guide to Making Cutting-Edge Dance Music : David Felton, Greg Scarth, Marc Adamo, Chris Barker, David Felton: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Pretty concise and not afraid to bust myths - First things first. This isn't an A to Z route map to making a tune. If you want that I'd suggest one of the many video based tutorials various places do. This is a repository of information and you read cover to cover or dip in and out as you feel. For most elements of EDM this really is as deep as you can go. The only bit I felt maybe needed some expansion was the theory section but it constantly references real tunes so you can hear exactly what they mean as well. The problem is theory is a deep subject and coming from piano and guitar I felt it was maybe a bit lacking but I guess it's a bottomless pit if deep dive with theory. It's fine for beginners though. What I did like was the fact it was willing to say, yeah this is how you program a kick, here's the compression settings and types but sod it, if you want to use sample and loops then do so, if it sounds good, it sounds good.
Review: Great framework for dance music creativity - Good level of useful detail supporting the creation and production of dance music. Would suit someone at an early stage of development, but also useful for someone like me to use as a refresher or for extra clarity on things. Written in a very clear way with supporting examples that can be used very practically. The book can be used as a complete guide from cover to cover, studied as individual chapters, or for picking out small elements for quick implementation. Excellent way of translating technical actions and details into musical outcomes. Consistent standard throughout.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The book that will change your life if you are a good learner
*by A***R on 4 August 2018*

This book is so deep with information that it leaves no question unturned. You can read it page by page and go on a musical journey as it explains everything concisely or you can pick it up and jump into the bass section and follow a quick. In my eyes this book should be taught as a course but I suppose it’s better this way because it means you can get all the knowledge of a dance producer at your fingertips which to me is like one of the greatest books that I have ever read! If you follow the whole book step by step you will become a master in my eyes with the knowledge that used to be hidden from us mortals.
