The tutorials differ in size depending on the subject being discussed. They typically range from 60 minutes to over 16 hours.

A course is only available through subscription while a tutorial can be purchased and downloaded without the need for a subscription. Both course and tutorial contain the same video content but a course employs a progress system so you can keep track of your own progress, and may also include Q&A challenges to further aid in cementing the information being presented.

No, but by subscribing for one month you have immediate access to all our videos.

Yes. You can still purchase our tutorials as normal through the shop, although some of the regular monthly content will not be released for purchase.

Yes, provided you have an internet connection the courses and video will stream to any device. To view on a desktop or laptop PC (or Mac) you will require Flash Player to be installed. Our website is device aware so if streaming to handheld devices it is streamed via HTML5 so will work on any mobile device or tablet. This includes iOS devices.

We use Logic Pro in many tutorials, but this should not be a concern. We do not use any DAW specific plug-ins in our tutorials so that you can achieve the same results regardless of the DAW.

Beatpoints are a points system that can be collected and exchanged for limited-edition samples and offers. You are awarded points for performing various actions such as watching a tutorial. You can also earn achievements for performing further actions. For example, watching a tutorial and gaining 100% on the quiz afterward will earn you an achievement. Achievements come with bonus beatpoints. All your achievements can be viewed in your account.

Credit/Debit cards, PayPal and Bitcoin. If you already have a PayPal account, payments are immediate in a couple of clicks. If not, we can accept most major credit and debit cards. We employ the industry standard 256-bit GeoTrust Rapid SSL encryption that is dedicated to our site (it is not a shared certificate) so any online purchases are completely secure.

The Dance Music Academy is a structured training course. You can read more about it here

By subscribing you will receive access to over 200+ hours of tutorial on the production of electronic dance music. These courses include topics on processing, effects, plug-ins, and genres ranging from Deep House through to Techno and Uplifting Trance with more added every month. These are not "rushed" 20-minute video tutorials, and many subjects run anywhere from 2 to 16 hours, so you receive a complete education on the subject.

Once enrolled in the course of your choice, you'll be presented with videos and a progress bar that fills as you watch the videos and complete the challenges. At the end of the course, you'll receive a certificate of completion (that you can download and print) and your overall score throughout. Courses that you've enrolled in and/or completed will be shown in the course list so its easy to keep track of where you are. And if you really don't want to take part in a course and just watch the video - you can skip the questions and just work through the videos.

The subscription area contains every DMP tutorial released to date but is also updated with new content every month.

The subscription is £19.95 per month with a minimum 3-month term. Yearly subscription is £199.95

DVD tutorials have been discontinued. Many computers no longer feature DVD drives, and there was no longer sufficient demand to cover the costs to provide our tutorials on DVD. Tutorials can be purchased for immediate download or you can subscribe to watch them. Note that subscribers receive a discount if you wish to purchase the videos to store on your HD.

If you choose to subscribe, you'll receive access the moment you complete checkout. If you purchase a tutorial for electronic delivery, you'll receive an email within minutes with a link to the download, or you can go to your account and download it there.

Your purchase covers the initial download bandwidth, and you have a limited window to download your purchase. Due to the size of the tutorials we do not offer "continual access". If you loose your tutorial through no fault of DMP (i.e. you accidentally delete them, lose them through a HD crash etc), you can request replacements. In order to qualify for a replacement you will need to provide evidence of your order. Additionally, you will be required to pay a small free to cover the bandwidth/admin costs we incur to re-issue your tutorials.

No, they are both independent of one another. You can read the book without the video courses and you can watch the courses without having read the book. However, having both so you can see how the theory and practice can relate to one another will no doubt be beneficial.

No, the Dance Music Manual is a completely different product to the tutorials. The Manual is written to introduce the reader to the production of dance music, discussing the theory behind topics such as compression, delay, synthesis, programming, sequencing, mixing and mastering. The tutorials show the practical applications of that theory.

The first and second edition resources are on the CD supplied with the book. The resource pack for all further editions are available to download here
