Rock Music Production

Rock!

The brief for this lesson was to find out how rock music is produced and what products such as amps/instruments define the genre. We were tasked to research into Gibson, Fender, Vox, Marshall and Line 6. We were particularly looking at amplifiers and how different amps create different sounds.

I have mixed a rock track in Logic and looked at Guitar Amp Pro. This tool allows th user to create different sounding amp effects onto guitar tracks. I chose to use a preset called '70's stack'. The tone was bright, clean and loud and fit with the rest of the song. On the solo guitar track I increased the gain and presence to make the sound louder and more striking within the song.
