Future Music FM199 – Ian Carey Masterclass

Howdy, every now and again I go through my old Future Music or Computer Music magazines and watch the masterclasses for a bit of inspiration or gain a little more knowledge. Now the majority of videos that they’ve brought out focus on the “house” music genre but there is still plenty of stuff you can learn from them. Besides that i’ve also found I’ve picked up new bits of information that i’ve missed in the past. Anyways, check out the videos and let me know what you think. I think Ian is a very talented producer and conveys what he is trying to teach very well. The videos are quite varied in that he goes over drums, arranging and remixing for radio etc.
