Advanced Music Production & Recording

In this program, you will dive into the basics of music production! Building from the bottom up, we'll talk about Digital Audio Workstations, MIDI programing and sequencing, audio effects, virtual instruments, audio recording, arrangement, and mixing.

More than ever, 21st century musicians need to know about Music Technology. With the rise of remote work, this program will prepare the musicians of the future to handle digital assets and be able to record and produce at home with the power of computers.

The program will culminate with a project that will require you to produce a song/tune you like and submit a final MP3 to play in class. The project will entail remote recordings and collaboration with your fellow campers!
