Learn about the music production process—including recording, editing, arranging, and mixing on industry standard DAWs LOGIC PRO X and PROTOOLS, the tools available to you to create contemporary music on your computer. AVID’s Protools 100 level certification is an embedded gem of this course. It prepares students for any professional environment in the audio industry. With the recent introduction of high-quality-low-cost software and hardware, the tools of music production are now available to the masses. Each lesson of this course will demonstrate a different set of music production tools.

The contemporary editing tool is the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), a software that stores and organizes all the assets of a musical project. Logic Pro X and Pro Tools are the DAWs that we would be using as our DAWs in this course.

The course would focus on the editing tools that are essential in contemporary music production. After editing, sounds must be combined or mixed together, so we look to the mixing board. We will dive into both hardware and software mixing boards, including volume, pan, mute, solo, busses, inserts, sends, and submixes.

After accumulating knowledge the students would create and submit a finished, fully produced song. As you move ahead, you will work on your own or with other musicians to develop a song and vision for the finished product. Students will then plan and execute its production, including recording, editing, mixing, and posting the finished product. All along the way, you will receive feedback from the peer review process.
