With technology advancing at lighting speed in recent years, it has become possible for music makers to produce high-quality recordings right from the comfort of their own home studios. It is now commonplace for an independent artist to not just be a recording artist, but also the songwriter, the engineer, and the music producer! This course provides practical techniques for music production that can be applied in any Digital Audio Workstation software. You will start with a song idea and then develop it in the pre-production stage. As part of the pre-production stage the course introduces proven concepts in commercial music production to help you take your song idea to the next level. You will then arrange your song by adding audio and MIDI recordings. This is followed by the editing stage, an important step that is easy to overlook if you鈥檙e not careful. The last step is mixing, where you will learn about volume balance, panning, dynamic processors, equalization, and time-based effects.
