Perhaps I used the wrong word in my description. Substitute the word essential for basic and you may understand better what I intended to say.

I have nothing but good things to say about Introduction To Music Production. Hands down it is one of the best classes I've ever been involved with. I suggest it to others as much as I can. I strongly believe everyone interested in music production, regardless of skill level, will learn something from the course.

Introduction to Music Production concentrates on the technical side of music production (how sound is transformed into the digital realm, daws, synthisis, etc.). Play With Your Music concentrates on the more artistic side of music production by focusing on things like listening, song structure and arrangement and mixing. Both are essential to music production.

Back in the "good ol' days" I never recognized two guitar players working out who is going to solo while the other plays fills as arrangement. Never thought argueing over volume levels as mixing. I just knew when we sounded good.

I've always had an appreciation for music production to the point of sometimes getting lost in the sound more so than the song. Introduction to Music Production and Play With Your Music have helped my understanding and raised my proficency.

BiaB and RealBand are the tools I use to learn. I am not a good musician and really no longer have the desire to be better since PG Music provides me better musical tracks on many more instruments in more styles than I ever could record myself.

What a wonderful product that is so diverse that it can be used in so many ways by so many people.
