SIG Music

SIG Music will be a group that discusses all things relating to technology and music.  With electronic music growing so rapidly, it can be hard to keep up with all the innovations within the world of music and finding new sounds that you like.  During meetings we will have the freedom to explore all aspects of music ranging from the basics of working with a DAW, to more advanced production techniques such as sampling and synthesis.  There is no right or wrong way to do anything with music, so if you have no prior experience, don’t feel afraid of joining.  If you have an appreciation for music and are willing to learn, you’re welcome to join.
