Screencast: The Greatest Dancer Remix

[Rayza]

I made a screencast of my mix session for another site/competition and posted it to youtube if anyone is interested. Nothing too heavy, just a brief look at some of the techniques I use..

This is amazing. I really learned something from this.

[Rayza]

Good to hear man.. I tried to keep it concise but still took almost 20 minutes heh.. Glad to hear you're still into making music too :)

I think the most useful thing in this screencast is simply the assignment of names and methods to the things that you hear in the track. As you mentioned in the video, anyone's who's been making dance music for a couple years is probably familiar with what sidechaining and filters are, but for people new to the genre who don't know what the terms are, it's a great way to learn. I also enjoyed how, although you outlined the track in Cubase, the video wasn't loaded down with technical details on how to use Cubase.

Good work, it's something I would easily recommend to people who are curious about learning more about dance music's creation.

Oh Man, I am stoked to watch these Rayza. I can't stream worth anything now so I'll check them later for sure, thanks for posting these. You really nail your tracks so I'm betting there'll be some good info here.

Lots of cool tricks explained fairly well. Thanks for sharing. It was very educational.

And please let us know if you or some of your associates also post tutorials (like how at the end you mentioned how you'd like to see see others post some too).

I listened to the winning entries, and I liked 2nd place the most, 3rd and 4th were good, but the first place entry was SO ANNOYING! haha! I don't know how it was even on the list! Yours could have been up there IMO, Hayden.
