Music Production: Basslines, Melodies and Audio Processing

Precio primer año €1,095

Description

This module explores all aspects of production in depth, from musical concepts and creative strategies to technical skills, particularly the handling of the recording studio.

On one hand, it goes deeper into the use of loops and introduces some of the most commonly used audio effects units in production. On the other, it introduces studio microphone recording for capturing vocals, as well as common audio editing techniques.

From a creative and musical standpoint, it covers the analysis and composition of more complex musical ideas such as riffs and bass arpeggios, chord progressions and melodic arpeggios, as well as choosing the most suitable sounds to match a specific sonic aesthetic.

This level has a duration of one term. Successful completion of this course allows you to continue your studies, accessing the third term of our Music Production Certification, which is dedicated to the production, processing, and mixing strategies.
