Digital Music Doctor announces the release of a new video training course, Digital Producer - Know It All! This course contains over 5 hours of interactive videos which cover all major aspects of creating music from digital sources: loops, synthesizers, and samplers. It encompasses a wide variety of musical genres, everything from making beats to creating orchestral tracks, and presents a number of examples using popular virtual instruments.

This course is a complete guide to making music using digital sources - loops, synthesizers, and samplers. The Overview and Concepts sections present a brief history of digital music production and the role of the producer as well as providing a foundation of basic audio and MIDI concepts used throughout the course. There are two general sections, Synths & Samplers and Time & Pitch which illustrate the techniques of digital music production. These sections use examples primarily from Native Instruments Absynth and Kontakt as well as Pro Tools Elastic Audio, FL Studio, and Spectrasonics Stylus RMX.

There are four sections which address creating music for specific instrument groups: The Drums section uses examples from FXpansion BFD and GURU as well as Ableton Live Impulse and FL Studio.

Digital Music Doctor was formed in 2003 with the release of our Sonar 2 course for Cakewalk Sonar. This course represented the first video tutorial to be created for a major music production software product. In 2005 we pioneered digital downloads of complete video courses which now represent approximately half of our sales. Thousands of musicians from all over the world have now enjoyed the benefits of these courses. As of 2010 we have customers in 45 countries from Australia to Zimbabwe.

Digital Music Doctor was founded by Clark Murray who has produced four albums over the past decade and is a voting member of The Recording Academy (Grammy). The first two, Coeur du Soleil and Yosemite Journey featured New Age stylings. He then turned to the Swing era and created Big Band Swing arrangements of traditional melodies for Swing Out America and Swing Out Santa.
