METHOD
During the lessons, the following points will be covered:
- Overview of music production programs;
- Explanation of the functions of the instruments and the technology used in the recording studio;
- Analysis of the types of computers suitable for music production;
- Setting up a music software (sound card, frequencies, latency, audio input and output, etc.);
- Creation and finalization of a project (production workflow);
- Voice recording (types of microphones, distance of the singer from the microphone, listening with headphones, producing a voice, by song sections, etc.);
- Use of virtual instruments, templates and presets (general considerations by type of instrument);
- Voice editing (comping, volume, pitch, de-essing, double voice, vocal background, eq, compression, reverb, delay, etc.);
- Basics for Mixing (elements of acoustic physics, critical listening of reference tracks, basic practical explanation, step by step, of the mix of a piece).
In summary, the main technical terms and main equipment of a recording studio will be examined. Particular importance will be dedicated to the knowledge of the various types of microphone and their correct use, both in the studio and live.
