What does it really take to build a career in music production?

In this interview, Lacey Harris, Director of Industry Programs and Faculty at Musicians Institute, explains why today’s producers should be comfortable working across multiple digital audio workstations (DAWs) and how versatility can open doors throughout the music industry.

At Musicians Institute, students gain hands-on experience with industry-standard digital audio workstations, including Avid Pro Tools, Apple Logic Pro, and Ableton Live, while developing skills in recording, editing, mixing, MIDI programming, sound design, synthesis, arrangement, and professional production workflows. Students also have access to DAW labs featuring Reason as part of MI’s production facilities.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to level up your production skills, this conversation offers valuable insight into how professional producers prepare for today’s music industry.
