Note the list of classes on the left

<<<<----------------
You don't have to read them all in order, but I do explain basic concepts in the early classes and assume you know them in the later classes.
So you think you know "your stuff"? What?, you are a "Producer", after all?! Oh that's tight! Just go take my little test now, see if you really have your basics down. If you can pass my test you do know the basic concepts behind studio production quite well. Go to the forums and help us out, OK? If you don't then...
Don't worry, be happy. Spend a few days reading the guide and not only you will be able to walk into any studio and talk the talk, you'll be able to build your own.
Assuming you have already read the Newbie section you start right....
