EP#36: Hearing #allthefeels: Crafting Emotion in your Music
Music production isn't just about expensive gear and nerding out on the latest plug-in. It’s as much, if not more, about your ability to translate emotion through sound. But this process is often difficult to pin down or articulate and rarely gets talked about on your average music tech course or YouTube video. So inside this week’s episode, Isobel is diving into the intangible process of translating emotion into sound. You’ll also learn three emotion driven production techniques that will help your music stop listeners in their tracks and speak to their soul.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS{00:00} Intro{04:43} What we’re defining as emotion{06:00} What we’re defining as sound{06:51} How are they connected?{10:02} Why this connection is the key to great music and professionally produced music{15:15} 3 emotion driven production techniques to try in your own music{23:26} Episode summaryDiscover your Female Producer Spirit Guide.
