In this tutorial, you will learn the methods and production techniques behind writing, engineering and producing a professional remix for club and radio airplay. Here, introduce you to yet another first for music production tutorials by remixing a top-selling commercial music track. Throughout this tutorial, you will see how a top 40 commercial hit is mixed from start to finish – a track our production company was previously requested to remix for promotional purposes and have kindly been given permission to once again access the original multi-track files for the purpose of this tutorial.

You will experience the creation of a professional remix from a blank sequencer to the final arrangement. for your enjoyment it has been edited and split into sessions divulging the vital topics you should consider when remixing. These include aspects such as considering the original direction, what record companies want, the market, what to listen out for, key signatures, transcribing structures, tuning, time-stretching, pitching, the manipulation and re-interpretation of motifs, maintaining feel, drum timbres, bass conception and execution, leads, audio manipulation, vocal editing, processing, effects and remixing arrangement techniques.
