This 7-week course offers a hands-on exploration of the challenges faced by today’s audio professionals as they prepare media for record labels, streaming platforms, and television studios. The audio producer’s role is to translate the abstract aesthetic goals of artists from many disciplines into real-world solutions. Each week, we’ll tackle a specific problem in sound recording and mixing and build a library of solutions students can use going forward. Through a blend of technical instruction and artistic discussion, students will learn to navigate the complexities of modern audio production.
