Dean Krippaehne's music production books—"Demystifying the Cue," "Demystifying the Genre," and "Write Submit Forget Repeat,”— stand as an indispensable resource for anyone navigating the competitive world of music licensing and songwriting.
Demystifying the Cue
Dave first devoured this book in the summer of 2017. “Demystifying the Cue” serves as a foundational primer, introducing readers to the nuances of creating compelling cues.
The complete DIY guide to creating music for Film, TV and all new media. Dean Krippaehne’s book “Demystifying The Cue” contains tips and strategies for learning to write, record and produce quality music quickly in your home studio. Learn how the pros break through writers block, create production templates, record, pan and mix their real and virtual instruments. Gain knowledge on networking and learn how to avoid the most common music biz pitfalls. Within these pages you will discover how to optimize your talents, minimize your frustration and maximize your chances for success.
Demystifying the Genre
Dave grabbed the follow up to “Demystifying the Cue” in early 2018.
“Demystifying the Genre” is a step-by-step walk through of writing and producing ten of the most commonly used music genres in Film and TV. You'll discover how to reverse engineer any genre of music and apply musical production techniques used by the pros to your creations. Each genre examined in this book comes with audio cue examples (download or streaming) designed to teach your ear what it takes to be successful in the production music business. (Please note that this book is not a study of EQs, reverbs and compression settings but rather an examination of writing, arranging and a “how to” capture mood, vibe and flow in any music genre.) The twenty-two companion audio music examples are available free for streaming and download at: deankrippaehne.net

The very next day, Dave grabbed “Write Submit Forget Repeat” and loved it so much that he literally bought the T-Shirt!
