Music Production & Engineering
BECOME AN INDUSTRY LEADER
Equal parts musician, technician, and dealmaker, audio recording engineers and producers are flocking to collegiate programs to boost their skills and marketability.
These professionals are the people who set up the mics and design them too. They sit at the mixing board to manipulate raw performance into transcendent musical experiences. Sometimes, they are performers and composers themselves who wish to maintain creative control over all aspects of their work.
Engineers are inspired by acoustics - the properties of sound moving in a space. They combine this knowledge with a technical understanding of amplification and sound recording equipment and concepts to capture sounds at their highest fidelity or in the most interesting way.
With the guidance of our consultants and their list of best-fit music performance schools in hand, an IMS student has a greatly increased chance of getting into the school that is right for them.
