Extended Diploma In Music

Module 1 - Music Sequencing And Production

DESCRIPTION

Computers are paramount in the production of contemporary music. The invention of the sequencer has enabled us to create and record music through a piece of software. The sequencer is used in numerous applications from recording in a studio, sequencing a dance track or audio production for the visual image. It is important not only for producers but also musicians to gain an understanding of how sequencing works. Through the skills provided by this unit, individuals will be able to use the key concepts within the area of sequencing and apply them to their own practice.
