Critical Analysis of Music Production Techniques
Improving the quality of your own music production projects necessitates strong listening skills. In much the same way that traveling to another country teaches you about yourself, listening to and analyzing other songs across genres opens you to different techniques and perspectives on how to achieve the best results for conveying the vision or emotional intent of a project and connecting with listeners. This course presents a framework and vocabulary for analyzing music that will support your work in the program, in addition to your professional career. Throughout the course, you will dissect music for its use of various production techniques, including arrangement, instrumentation, performance, and mix considerations. The underlying goal of engaging in such analysis is to strengthen your analytical abilities, increase your versatility as a producer, and enhance the overall quality of your work.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Evaluate musical, emotional, performance, and arrangement techniques in top-charting music, in addition to music in diverse styles
- Analyze key vocal production techniques, such as doubling, layering, distressing, tuning, compression, echo, and reverb
- Perform high-level analysis of production elements used in songs across genres
