Audio production is the process of creating, recording, and manipulating sound for various media, including music, film, and podcasts. It involves several stages, such as pre-production, where planning and arrangement take place, and production, where the actual recording occurs. Post-production follows, where audio is edited, mixed, and mastered to achieve the desired quality. Professionals in this field often use software like Pro Tools or Ableton Live to enhance sound and ensure clarity. The final product can be distributed across platforms like Spotify or Apple Music, reaching audiences worldwide.
