Advanced Music Production - MUS300
Building on MUS203, this unit examines advanced techniques for music production. Moving beyond desktop software-based music production tools, students work with live musicians and bands in recording studio environments utilising professional studio hardware and production tools. It addresses areas including: digital audio theory; microphone techniques and placement; fundamentals of audio engineering; mixing and mastering concepts; and professional networked audio production workflows.
Key aspects of this unit are the establishment of critical listening skills, research of specific musical genres, and the development of an understanding of audio production concepts in professional recording studio environments. Students obtain a knowledge base which may be applied to many areas of music production in current industry contexts, and create recordings that incorporate a practical and theoretical understanding of professional music production. On successful completion of the unit, students may elect to take AVID Pro Tools user certification.
