Abstract
Electronic music production (EMP) is an increasingly popular avenue for music expression, yet learning this skill has a high barrier to entry. The paper presents research methods investigating the idea that existing musical knowledge aids in the learning of electronic production. It was discovered that while existing musical knowledge is useful for learning, the EMP skill set is quite different and relies heavily on technical skills. The most popular tool for musicians who start to learn EMP, Ableton Live, is expensive and does not currently incorporate education technology (edtech). Research and analysis indicate that the process for musicians to become proficient in EMP is cumbersome, and that simple tools could be developed to improve this process.
