Hello, everybody. Welcome to Beat-Boogie.com. Here, we’re going to go through a whole bunch of tutorials, a little at a time. The material here is gleaned from a variety of sources, although never lifted verbatim. The three-fold process we’ll use here should help build skills and techniques, while this site serves as a storage locker of things we’ve learned.

The process:

1. View, read, or hear some tutorial, masterclass, or course snippet.
2. Practice the technique described and duplicate the source techniques as closely as possible.
3. Cover the technique from scratch, using our original source materials, synthesizers, instruments, and effects.

The act of working through new techniques and writing them up after practicing them in this way can help us retain the things we’ve learned. Additionally, the write up can serve as an archive of practiced techniques.

At first, there will simply be screen shots and sounds. Since this blog is built in HTML5, we’ll be using an audio tag plugin. (Thanks, Anton!) That may render the audio unplayable in any browser without support for HTML5 Audio. Most of the snippets will be short, in WAV and MP3 formats.

For the rundown on the software we’ll be playing with, visit the About Page.

We hope you find some of the things posted here useful.
