Possible point of view: audio production is the art of transforming and assembling discrete elements
so that they form a meaningful new object.

This broad definition leads to several consequences. Firstly, production includes a modern equivalent of orchestration. Indeed, adding timbres to make new ones is orchestration. Secondly, as surprising as it may seem, it also includes a modern equivalent of harmony. In sutdio-based, harmony is poor because it's simply not the point of this music. In the studio, the abundance of colors formerly brought by classical harmony is replaced by timbral colors.

Production can take place in different contexts, at different degrees. Commercial non-musical audio projects have to be sonically produced. Particul live shows also have to be sonically produced. In this page, we'll talk about production anytime machines are used to transform and assemble discrete elements to make a new one.
