Derived from the well-known, best-selling series The AudioPro Home Recording Course Volumes One-Three, this is the fourth out of a series of six books and specifically covers producing music with audio samples, loops, and MIDI. Up-to-date and comprehensive, the book details the how, why, and what of these and other modern methods of music composition and recording, from building a track using loops, to how to design a MIDI system, to sequencing.
Part of the S.M.A.R.T. Guide series, The S.M.A.R.T. Guide to Producing with Samples, Loops, and MIDI is written in a style that is direct and accessible to those with no previous experience, but to more experience professionals as well. The complete series is designed to provide a comprehensive, up-to-date education on classic and modern techniques for professional audio production.
Providing a logical progression of knowledge, if the entire series is followed from the first through the sixth title, you will gain a very well-rounded and clear understanding of audio recording.
You also have the option of focusing on one title to learn one aspect of the audio recording process—in this case modern methods of music composition. This combination of easy-to-understand explanations of concepts and a DVD that aurally and visually illustrates the concepts contained in the text makes this a unique and valuable learning experience for anyone in this field
