Welcome to Dragor Productions
A place not only to showcase my works, but also a growing resource of information for the music producer
News
2/8 For those who are wondering, my schedule for this year has been taken up. I'm dedicating this year to finishing off the audio engineering course as well as learning about orchestration, sound design, soundtracks, music theory, as well as fully revising my guides. This means that there will be no trance productions from me this year.
//
19/7 "Always There" has been released. Listen to it here. This track aims to be a slow, expressive orchestral track. Guides are still under heavy revision and may take a few months to complete.
12/7 "Rise of the Pharaoh" has been released. Listen to it here. This track aims to be a tense and climatic orchestral track.
5/7 Serene has been released. Listen to it here. This track aims to be a calming, sorrowful orchestral track.
29/6 All guides, except for "Tips" are going be to heavily revised and reuploaded soon.
28/6 New tracks! Its not trance, but these are cinematic soundtracks, as I've taken up an interest in this style of music. You could say I'm taking a break from trance. I'll be releasing one each week on soundcloud and acidplanet.
First one is “Now is the time”. Get it on Soundcloud or Acidplanet
8/5 Some of you may be wondering why I haven't released or uploaded anything for several months now. Short answer is that this is my final year studying audio engineering, and I'll be very busy until the end of the year.
5/5 His whole newgrounds account is removed. Thanks newgrounds! But he still has a very, very thick head. Jeeeeeez. Stop wasting my time you dim-witted douchebag.
4/5 - It's removed. Thanks to youtube and newgrounds for such a quick response and taking them down so fast. Just for the records, I've documented this incident as well.
3/5 - I'm getting sick and tired of this. This time it's a 16 year old named Tom Davies. Thanks to a friend who kindly pointed it out! There is now another section dedicated to these copyright incidents. To anyone who finds any of my songs ripped, please come and tell me. I would appreciate it very much!
Newgrounds: A Winter's Tale, Horizon, Altra, Breeze, Epic Dreams, Break Away (Broken Away)
Youtube: A Winter's Tale
Links: Facebook, Twitter, Site, Deviant Art, Bebo, Newgrounds
27/4 - It's been removed now, but forever will it be known that this incident did happen. As a result, I will not be making any more freely available FL Studio projects or FL tutorials from this point on. Horizon will be the last.
26/4 - Journal has now been removed as a result of this incident. In order to aquire any of my FL projects, you will now have to download them off The Flipside Forum or the FL Studio Forums.
24/4 - Another N3cROm4NCeR like situation! Oh great. This time a 14 year old kid named René Brals aka "Black Diamond" or "BD" is claiming the rights to a song I did back in 2006, and seems proud of it. Here's the proof.
Newgrounds - Black Diamond - Epic Dreams posted on 7/3/2008
Acidplanet - Dragor - Epic Dreams posted on 9/12/2006
The Flipside Forum - Dragor - Epic Dreams posted on 9/4/2006
I wouldn't be surprised if all the other songs posted there are infringed too. Hopefully that song will be removed shortly and hopefully I won't find anymore... What amazes me is that he started infringing at least at the age of 12 and is still going strong as I've recently received an email about his recent "claims" (and that's how I found out). Recently now his been "collaberating" with another kid called "Green!"
To anyone else who is thinking of ripping or claiming my projects, DON'T. I will eventually catch you, even if it takes years. I have been around for quiet a while now, and I will not tolerate being ripped off. It wastes my precious time as much as yours. I will go out of my way to name and shame anyone who does. René Brals, your the second one now.
30/3 - A part of the Music Production Guide has been split into the Sound Design Guide.

2009
31/12 - I can't believe the year is up already!
25/12 - Merry Christmas to all who are reading this. I know I haven't been active for a while, but rest assure, I am slowly working on new trance tracks that continue the "different approach to trance" legacy in 2010.
12/11 - Added several new points in the mixing guide: "Reference Track", "Give your ears a rest", and "Don't mix to loud/soft!"
11/10 - Happy 5th anniversary to me. 5 years of trance production since the very first (official) song (Strike) was released to the public. To celebrate, Horizon (3xOsc Mix) (both FLP and mp3) has been released to several sites and forums (Soundcloud, Acidplanet), as well as the FLP to Strike. The mixing and production guides have been updated and edited with slightly more topics. Horizon will now serve as a practical reference for these guides.

18/8 - Dragor - Dreams was played on Innertrance XLII
10/8 - Steven Force - Across the Sky (Dragor Remix) has been released. It's a very dark, experimental, atmospheric, take on the original.
3/8 - Please note if you are using IE (or a low resolution) you may get the scroll bar in the top window along with grey adjustable borders around the site. This is because the site uses frames for ease of updates. However this is not meant to happen as these borders should be invisible as correctly shown in firefox/chrome, so this is a heads up for IE users. Don't worry though, there isn't anything that you'll be missing out on.
24/7 - New site look, along with a numerous number of small revisions. Hope everything works fine. If any parts of the site looks weird, try to clear your cache and reload the site.

11/2 - Well, these songs have been successfully removed. This is in fact the second time someone has tried to steal my work. If your reading this N3cROm4NCeR, don't ever do it again. It's just shameful, and low. I know I run the risks of people stealing my works, but they are there for a reason. It's for people to learn from and enjoy (like most people do), not for people to steal.
10/2 - This bastard N3cROm4NCeR seems to think ripping off other people's songs is ok. Here are the two songs so far he has ripped off me:
Dragor - Hard way posted on 4/12/07 on Sifon --- Ripped off version: "There's is another way" FL Studio 8 Trance music posted on 6/10/08
