INTRODUCTION TO MUSIC PRODUCTION
Music production is the process of creating and shaping a song from an idea to a finished product
that we hear on streaming platforms, radio, or in movies. A well-produced song is not just
about melodies and lyrics but also involves recording, layering instruments, editing, mixing, and
mastering.
