Should I just post it now?

Please PM it to me and I'll put it in the bible with due credits

I was pretty sure there's at least one relevant thread in which somebody (was it you Wub?) put quite some effort covering the basics so if the original poster is reading this and can find it back...

Sounds good to me


Browsing a bit made me realize we also need a magazines/books/online resources/... section, adding this to the list.

And btw thanks a lot to everybody who replied on the board and PMed so far. Your help is highly appreciated.

Keep it coming!!

yeah i did see Wub's one, and i'm going to cover some of the stuff he's covered in his post.

it was just a bit confusing and could have been laid out better (ie with better graphics)

and @ the magazine idea, i agree totally

i've been reading Computer Music (www.computermusic.co.uk) a lot recently, and it has some great tips. For example this month it has a big in-depth explanation of LFOs and Envelopes that helped me a lot..

It also has videos from top Electronic producers, and they let us in on their production secrets.

Well worth looking in to in my opinion.

What about the comprehensive bass? How would it be different from the basslines section?

i guess it might not be different, i just meant to include all things bass in it. info on sub, things to consider during mixing, processing, how to monitor, theres just so many things to consider when it comes to bass and sub, and it is the defining factor of the genre... i think a lot of time should be spent on this section. a lot of the stuff would possibly crossover into other areas

i can work on a digital audio and MIDI section... and help supplement the other topics people start to put together.

I've come up with a small list of music production magazines....

big up you lot, wish i had some time to help out with this shit.. but i struggle enough to find time to produce in the first place!

if i get some time i'll deffos give yas a hand compiling

i have a PDF of FL Studio Bible i could post for direct download if that will be useful to fruity users.

^^^^

Is that FL Studio Bible pdf legal? My guess is that it isn't, but if it is, we should include it...

Maybe you'd be interested in finding some FL links/threads/articles etc?

Failing that, we can include it in our list of useful books

Thanks!

Wouldn't posting each topic into a different thread be more productive?

Perhaps... Some should be stickied if there are threads for different topics....

I'm rooting for an ultimate thread of badassness production techniques

What do people reackon???

Johnny Beat wrote:Wouldn't posting each topic into a different thread be more productive?

Yep let's do that!

good news guys - i've more or less finished my first draft of the text for the music theory section

i'm just downloading photoshop cs3 so i can create some graphics to support the text, so hold tight and keep checking for the new thread in about an hour..

cheers.

also, just had another idea

what about another section in the Production Bible that has good information about music distribution - with good contacts and links?

in this day and age it seems that being a musician is only 10% about writing music, the rest is about distributing it..

maybe some good links to getting cheap plate cutting, as well as a link to TuneCore to get your album on iTunes for cheap.

cheers.

Added to the list

just so you know, the music theory draft is up as a new thread.

any ideas or criticisms just let me know..

ez, bruno.

I suggest everybody edit their topics and put a [Production Bible 2] tag infront of their topics, just for the sake of moderation.

+1

Plus one for .klimaxx + 1

In the process of uploading a few sample packs ive made and just random sounds ive found what wasn't in a pack at the moment, should I PM links or start a thread for people to dump links and i'll edit it every time theres a new link and put it to the first post?

Thanks

I think PM them to Daft tnuc so he can add them to the existing Production Bible samples section.
