Summary

Drum 'n' bass, techno, house, garage and ambient hip-hop are all introduced within the context of Cubase's powerful commands and features. But you don't necessarily need Cubase to learn from this amazing book: many of the sequencing tips here can be used with any sequencer. The free CD is packed with MIDI files, audio samples for drum 'n' bass, groove templates, mixer maps and demos of leading music software. Dance Music Programming Secrets is organised so you can simply dip into those areas of dance music you're most interested in. But because of the stylistic links between the genres, this book will lead you to explore all the possibilities and help you evolve your own original flavour.
