Introduction to Digital Music Production - Creating Tomorrow's Hit Songs
In the Intro lecture, Erik explains how the course is going to work: the students will work on a real-world production, with audio tracks provided as a downloadable archive by the end of the lecture.
This course is not about WATCHING music production techniques, but actually DOING them hands-on in real time with the course content.
Getting Organized
We import the downloaded audio files and save the new project. We create a consistent pattern for naming and saving the project. Lastly, we organize the Arrange and the Mixer pages with a color scheme to stay on top of things even when working on very large projects.

Learn how to use Automation on Volume levels and Pans.
Automating The Mix- Levels, Sends and Effects
Mix Down!
We look at the different mixdown options and run out a first "bounce" of our Mix. Then we listen on different devices in real-world situations and decide what details in the Mix need to be improved. These improvements will be implemented in v.2 of our Mixdown. Repeat until all details are satisfying.
