For someone who works at a pace that rivals Stephen King, Dan the Automator strikes me as a rather relaxed guy. Not stoned-downtempo relaxed, but, rather, the I’m-at-peace-in-my-own-skin type of relaxed. Those are the kind of people I usually hate—especially when they talk fast, which, while usually indicating egotism rooted in a person’s deep sense of insecurity, is not the case with Dan the Automator. Dan’s a funny, fast-talking nice guy, as in, impossible to hate. And that I hate, too. |

Every time you DJ, you may be surrounded by a sea of club kids cheering and dancing like freaks. But now that you’re a master of the decks, maybe it’s time to take the next step and make your own music. But how does one approach the do-it-yourself ethic of modern production? Building a home studio can be affordable for anyone with a paycheck, but it’s still a lot more expensive than other hobbies, like, say, basketball. And there will be a learning curve while you read manuals and figure out new gear. Also, there are seemingly 289 million different combinations of equipment that will work together. It’s hard to know where to start, but if producing music is your mission—read on. |
