SECRETS OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC PRODUCTION REVEALED IN
THE TRANCE EXPERIENCE, A NEW BOOK & INTERACTIVE COURSE— Includes CDs with complete session files in popular computer recording formats for a step-by-step guide to producing Vocal Trance, Club Remix and Chillout Remix musical styles—
119th AES CONVENTION, NEW YORK, NY, October 7, 2005 — Sound.org, the independent publishing company created by the founders of Waves, the world's leading supplier of professional audio software plug-ins, has announced the release of The Trance Experience by German DJ/Producer Torsten Fassbender, the first book and interactive course to provide readers with a step-by-step guide to producing Trance music.
The Trance Experience is the latest addition to Sound.org’s OpenMix™ book series, each of which includes CDs containing the complete multi-track session files in Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, Nuendo and Sonar recording formats, as well as demonstration versions of Waves plug-ins. OpenMix is a hands-on approach that allows readers to follow instructional text while working on the actual mix created by the author, with complete freedom to remix or alter any aspect of the recordings.
In The Trance Experience, Fassbender provides a complete guide to production methods used in today’s progressive electronic music styles. Beginning with song conception and composition, he takes readers through loop manipulation, instrumentation, arrangement, breakdowns, fill-ins and mix-outs, all the way to completing the final mix. Fassbender also covers signal processing theory and techniques, sound design, and general mixing and mastering practices. Also included is a selection of original, copyright-cleared, royalty-free sounds and samples readers can use to create their own compositions.
Fassbender offers tips that will be valuable to both beginners and veterans, such as how to create a kick drum from a sine wave; how to judge whether one sample or pattern will combine well with another; and how to get the most from FM synthesis.
In addition, Fassbender offers a rare insider’s view of the electronic music world based on more than a decade of experience in the European club scene. Here he provides an expansive overview of the leading styles and describes the many genres and sub-genres of Trance music.
Fassbender, an acclaimed DJ and electronic music producer based in Germany, began his career in the 1980s composing game music before gaining a reputation in Trance and House music. He has released records on several European labels and is best known for remixes of Blank & Jones and PPK, as well as his own Wellenrausch project. His productions and remixes have appeared on numerous compilations and can be found on the playlists of top club DJs worldwide.
The Trance Experience is available online at www.sound.org and at book and music retailers.
