Advanced Song Production Seminar

SW-362

This course is designed to reinforce and explore tools and techniques for the songwriter/artist who has self-produced many songs but still is reaching to make their tracks sound like the records we all love. Through the full production of two original songs during the semester we will explore every aspect of your current process and examine the methods of the modern producer. The class will learn to find what is working and what is not in your songs and then set you on a path to fixing it. Students will be responsible to propose and defend the songs and all the production choices at many steps in the process. Using home studios and the Songwriting studio, students will have access to a 16-input room with mics, piano, amps, and drums.
