Music Recording and Production Techniques introduces students to the theoretical and practical fundamentals of professional-level music recording in a large studio environment. Techniques of music recording and production differ according to musical intention and aesthetic direction, and as such, students are provided with the opportunity to develop their individual music production skill sets within the course and project parameters. Students are taught a range of perspectives on capturing, routing, processing, editing and mixing music. Additionally, students learn to critically engage in discussions and debates on current issues affecting music and recording.
