Hot on the heels of our best selling Fundamental 1, Fundamental 2 continues to discuss groove - this time concentrating on bass. Over 4 hours of video tutorials focus on the theory and practice behind the programming, production and engineering of professional bass lines and rhythms for dance records.

The DVD begins with an introductory course on some music theory, introducing the viewer to the theory behind scales and modes - showing how notes are derived in any scale.

The sessions then move on to cover the principles behind composition, and how to use the notes, accidentals, strong and weak - all together to produce a bass line that is in tune and works with the record. Further sessions then delve deeper into the production of bass lines discussing techniques such as compression, trip sampling, frequency splitting, side-chaining, modulation, tuning, keying and synthesizing techniques for different bass timbres.

All this and all in the same, complete, focused and in-depth style you’ve come to expect from the Dance Music Productions DVD series.
