Summary: The perfect start into the music business
Review: I was very impressed with data becker`s Music Center and bought Dance Factory out of curiosity. Although both are music production programs, they're completely diffenten. While Music Center is aimed at a professional (or wannabe professional) musician, Dance Factory is perfect for the absolute dummy in making music. It's track based which means that you have up to 16 Stereo-Tracks where you can put bass-, drums-, vocal-samples (the program comes with over 3000 preproduced) and mix them. It's fairly easy to understand and work with.The fun part are the additional programs, that can be used in Dance Factory: A remix tool that takes all the samples that you currently use in your song and randomly mixes them together with impresseive results, a wave-editor and a vocal-recording studio. If you want to produce your own music and don't want to rely on the 3000 soundsamples there are tools like BDM 2 (can someone explain to me why it's No. 2 ? ) that lets you create new drum, bass and melodic samples from the scratch - again very easy to use with very impressive results - and a "Melody Maker" where you can play on your computer keybord and record that. A great feature is the DB 303, which is an analogue syntheziser that produces very unique soundpatterns. Again, it's not for the professionals and I doubt that you will get a record contract with what you've produced on DF, but it opens the field of music making to everyone with fast and impressive results.
