# An Intro to Digital Music Production

[TOC]

***A short foreword:***

>Welcome! My hopes for these documents are that they would give you the fundamentals, skills, and tools to be able to go out on your own and experiment by yourself as an artist.
>
>As you go through these activities, please share your thoughts with each other through the "Reflections" forums. Your realizations, observations, and reflections may be valuable to others who might have missed something along the way or may not have thought about things as you have... and vice versa; you might get something out of reading others' posts, as well. As artists, you will probably want to collaborate with others in the future; think of this as a way for you to start doing so early. With that having been said, go for it! Good luck.
