ABSTRACT
The most obvious place to start on any book concerning dance music is with the basics of sequencing and sequencers. Their earlier incarnations were responsible for the typically metronomic sounding beats that are still evident in today’s music, and no dance musician would seriously consider writing a track without the aid of one. Although sequencers have moved on from offering just simple MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) functionality, an understanding of it is imperative to producing a good dance record.
