Advanced Learning and FaderPro.com, producers of pioneering video
training products, announce Remix It Like A Record, an interactive
remixing course taught by multi-platinum remixer and producer Vincent
DiPasquale, together with world-renowned DJ, producer and remixer
Steven Lee, and created in collaboration with pioneering educator and
Grammy-winning mixer Charles Dye.
Remix It Like A
Record is a comprehensive remixing course, where DiPasquale (Madonna,
Nelly Furtado, Mariah Carey, Timbaland) and Lee (Lee-Cabrera, Ministry
of Sound, Pacha, Strictly Rhythm) teach the art and craft of creating a
cutting-edge, modern remix. Developed in partnership with Dye (Shakira,
Lauryn Hill, Ricky Maritn, Jon Bon Jovi), whose critically acclaimed
Mix It Like A Record course established an entirely new level of
advanced training videos.
"Three years ago, Charles Dye achieved what many thought was
impossible, to teach people how to get record quality mixes in their
project studios with his Mix It Like A Record video course," says
DiPasquale. "Building upon his incredible success, Steven and I are
very excited to team up with him to tackle the art of the remix in
Remix It Like A Record."
In this new course the user will learn how to create solid grooves,
build attention grabbing vocal edits, and develop trademark sonic
treatments that really make a remix stand out. And all of these lessons
are demonstrated using DiPasquale and Lee's latest remix for Nadia Ali,
the unforgettable voice of the group "iiO" and one of the most
recognizable artists in dance music today.
"Over the years, I've been fortunate enough to learn by working with
some of the most talented producers on the planet," continues
DiPasquale. "And people are constantly asking me if they can sit in and
watch during a remix. Now they can, as we remix a song together for an
actual project."
The course covers every aspect of remixing, including dissecting the
original song, explaining the importance of tempo, time-stretching
vocals, exploring the foundation of every remix the beat and bass,
creating feature and accent keyboard parts, understanding song and
vocal arrangement, mix buss processing, all the way through to the
finished mix.
"What sets Remix It Like A Record apart is that by following each step
you'll produce the exact same remix we did in the studio on your
system," says Lee. "We start you off exactly where we did, with only
the vocals, and from there we build the remix up, one track at a time,
from a blank project to a full blown professional remix. Vince teaches
you every single step of the process, and by following along with the
provided sessions, you'll be able to recreate the exact same result we
delivered to the record label."
Remix It Like A Record is intended to essentially provide the user with
the "cheat sheet" to learning music production. It is DiPasquale, Lee
and Dye's goal to reveal the secrets of how full-time music pros make
records. And their intent that once a user follows each step of the
course, they'll have the confidence to apply those same steps in their
future productions.
"What I love most about this course is Vince's teaching style," says
Dye. "He really does an impressive job of explaining exactly how and
why he made each decision along the way to creating this absolutely
amazing remix. And Steven's dance floor perspective gives incredible
insight into the essential elements of a potent remix that will move
people on the dance floor and make DJ's want to play again and again. I
learned a lot from Vincent and Steven, and I'm already applying their
techniques on my latest projects."
Remix It Like A Record is designed for new or experienced remixers,
producers, engineers, or musicians who want to learn the inside secrets
to getting big sounding remixes on any digital audio workstation.
Currently in production with an early 2009 release date, Remix It Like
A Record can be pre-ordered for a limited time at a 20% discount.
