A detailed introduction to industry-standard sound reinforcement and recording technology. The skills taught will be of use to composers, songwriters, arrangers, and those interested in music production in the context of live sound reinforcement, as well as the professional recording studio environment.
This paper develops high-level skills in digital music production and studio recording. Students work independently to produce recordings in a range of environments, collaborating with performers and fellow production students to work across a variety of musical genres and disciplines. Students develop an understanding of their work as forms of practice-based research, and as such, this paper provides a bridge between lower-level music production courses, and subsequent papers, in which students work independently on projects of their own design.
