About this title

Synopsis

In music, digital technology is used in every facet of production from preparation of scores to recording, editing, mixing and mastering. While many books do an excellent job of explaining technological concepts such as sequencing and synthesis, few provide insights into how to actually use new technology to create music. This book teaches students, hobbyists, multimedia specialists and professionals both the technical and musical aspects of computer-based music production. Concepts such as sequencing, synthesis, and digital editing are presented in a holistic, approachable way that is applicable to products from a wide range of vendors. Musical concepts such as compisition, arranging and orchestration are explained in a way that can be easily assimilated and applied to a wide variety of projects ranging from traditional acoustic ensembles to synthetic orchestrations.
