This class is for those with some prior knowledge of digital music production, either from our beginners digital musikproduktion course or elsewhere. The class will be held in English, though the teacher has Swedish as a second language. You will also need good computer experience.
Goals
The goals with this class are to build on your previous experiences and knowledge. We will continue to create remixes, beats, and songs with a DAW (digital audio workstation) using more advanced techniques. We will also further our understanding of music theory and how it can be used as a creative tool. There will also be a larger focus on genre breakdowns with a specific focus on the working practices of individual digital music producers. At the end of the course you will have gained a deeper understanding of digital music production and be able to confidently create music within your chosen DAW.
