Essential Skills

Today’s creative musician must be proficient in several areas of expertise. As well as being equally at home writing melodies, harmonies and counterpoint for all orchestral and other instruments, he has to use a computer, notation software, a digital audio workstation, software synthesizers, sample libraries and plugins. Equally essential is the ability to mix and master audio tracks and stems so that his music sounds idiomatic, polished and professionally produced.
