MUSIC PRODUCTION
 
The main objective of the production course proposed is to provide budding singer/songwriters and producers basic to advanced knowledge of music production methods and techniques. Techniques and skills derived from years of experience as a practitioner of Pop Music production. The course should not be confused with an audio engineering course. Think of it more like a crash course in bringing the songs you write into fruition; making release quality mixes of your written music.

How many times have you been stuck wondering why your recorded material lacks the luster of commercial recordings? Have you ever wondered why your digital arrangement sounds like a bad phone ringtone instead of that big sound you have in your head? Have you ever stuck a mic in front of yourself and a guitar and thought, “I wonder how I am gonna afford to pay a big time studio to transform this demo into a fully produced song”? If you’ve ever had any dreams of recording your own professional CD in the comfort of your home and not spend major money on big studios who are just gonna give you the same sound they give to every other band or singer, this course is for you!
