Music Production: Discover the Secrets of a Great Song

“We reached the end of the course. I hope you enjoyed and that it has inspired you to enter the world of music. In addition to the tips that I gave you in the video, I want us to review the phases of the production process to serve as a guide for your final project. The song Our raw material is the songs. The first thing you will have to do is choose which song you are going to produce, be it a song that you have composed or the song of a friend. Demo The next step is to demo the song. That is, before the final recording, work and develop the song to make the most of it. Review and define the structure, melody, lyrics ... Recording and arrangements Next, you will have to record both the instrumental base and the vocals (if the song has a vocalist). Ideally this is done in a professional recording studio, but today there are tools available to be able to do it even in your own home. Think and decide which arrangements best suit your song, dress it up with musical ornaments that make it grow and improve. Mixing and mastering Finally, mix the different elements that you have recorded to give the final touch to your song with the edit. It is sure to be the first song of many more that you will produce in the future! Now share your final project with all of us by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both your finished song and the various phases of the production process. It would be great if you also share a brief explanation about what you have done in each of the steps; why did you choose a certain instrumentation, why did you make certain decisions in the mix, etc. Also, I encourage you to actively participate in the forum. Sure we can learn a lot from each other and that the opinions and advice we give each other will make our songs grow even more. And who knows, maybe we have some new Beatles taking their first steps on the forum. Do not stop the Music!”
