The music producer is ultimately responsible for the complex process behind recording an album. Both artistic and technical decisions fall to them. For this reason, it's essential that they have a thorough knowledge of the particulars of the music world and of the technological aspects related to their work. In this master's program, Microfusa promises to cover a range of content to train a new generation of professionals capable of managing the different aspects of music production.
The aim of the Master's in Production is to develop all the professional skills producers will need to put into practice in their work, mainly those related to musical, technical, distribution and psychological knowledge, rights management, and promotion and marketing tools.
MicroFusa's Master's in Music Production has, according to the school, a multidisciplinary faculty including both academic and professional instructors, and a panel of guest speakers featuring well-known professionals and leading producers in the industry such as Carlos Córdoba (aka Charly Chicago), Xasqui Ten, Roger Rodes, Raúl Fernández (aka Refree), Santos & Fluren and Josep Coll, among others. Today we're seeing a radical change in the way music consumption, distribution and recording are understood, changing the landscape and the very essence of music production.
The prevailing model is self-production, where the initiative for carrying out a music project shifts from record labels to the artists themselves. Artists have to take care of the recording, distribution and promotion of the project, as well as managing the whole process.
Given artists' general lack of knowledge and experience in this field, it's the music producer trained in self-production who provides this comprehensive service, covering the artists' understandable gaps in these areas. The fundamental aspects of self-production are defining the project's artistic profile, optimizing technical and human resources in recording, mixing and mastering, managing rights and registration, distributing online in an optimal and strategic way, and creating and monitoring communication content for publicity and promotion.
