Overview
You will begin by developing your identity, vision, and intention as an artist and producer. Next, you will learn the technical aspects of music production, including how sound is translated into audio signals, recording techniques, and effects such as reverb, delay, and compression.
By taking the Music Production Specialization offered by Coursera in partnership with Berklee, you will also learn how to use the industry standard Digital Audio Workstation, Pro Tools, to create professional recordings. Finally, you will apply the knowledge and tools you gained in a culminating 4-week Capstone where you will complete a project beginning at the pre-production stage through the recording, mixing, and mastering stages.
What you will learn:
- Identify and use reference tracks to establish a vision for your production
- Use the Production Check-List to run an efficient and well-organized recording session
- Edit your tracks while using your reference tracks and emotional and dynamic timelines to realize your vision for your production
- Evaluate your mix by crtically listening to it on different sound systems (ear buds, in the car, sound system, computer, etc.)
