Here is what you have to do to pass Music Production class.
The unit consists of two outcomes, both of which you must achieve:
- Analyse production styles.
- Apply production techniques to a piece of music
Outcome 1
The majority of you have now completed outcome 1. This is where you had to write a 750 word report comparing and contrasting the work of two music producers. For the very few of you who have not yet successfully completed outcome 1 you have until Wednesday 7th March as your final deadline. This must be submitted to me by email at colin.dodds@perth.uhi.ac.uk
Outcome 2
To complete this outcome you must apply production techniques to a piece of music. You will choose one of the pieces of music you recorded as part of the session skills classes and write a 500 word report on the production process. In this report you should include:
- A link to the track (I am in the process of putting the tracks online. As soon as I complete this I will make the links available to you here on this blog.)
- What is the genre of the piece of music you produced? Also does it have a distinct production style i.e. lo-fi, hi-fi, vintage, modern? Please give an example of a production that is similar which you could consult for reference.
- What were the aims of the production? And given this task again could you aim higher and achieve a better product? If so how?
- In order to help the production when and how did you use your interpersonal skills in your dealings with the other musicians and engineers?
- What organisation was necessary for the session?
- What have you learned from this process that could help you produce music in the future?
Finished work should be emailed to me at colin.dodds@perth.uhi.ac.uk no later than Wednesday May 9th.
