This unit is intended to give you a broad understanding of sound production processes. You
will examine the terminology and requirements for staging a live performance before going
on to study the requirements for studio recording and post production. The unit is intended
for learners who have limited knowledge of sound production processes and intend to work
in the music industry, especially as an artist manager, promoter, or a musician who carries
out these roles on their own behalf. Throughout this unit, you will learn how to use common
terminology which will enable you to communicate effectively in live, studio, and mastering
environments
