We will explore the art of music production, creating samples, sample packs, loops, and various unique compositions. Through deep dives into analog synths, vocal production and audio editing; music producers, digital artist and multimedia artists will be able to compose music using modern / vintage techniques (magnetic tape, vinyl record cutting, analog saturation, resampling, etc.).
