The Meaning in "the Mix": Using Ethnography to Inform the Design of Intelligent Tools in the Context of Music Production (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McGarry, G., Chamberlain, A., Crabtree, A., & Greenhalgh, C. (2021, September). The Meaning in "the Mix": Using Ethnography to Inform the Design of Intelligent Tools in the Context of Music Production. Presented at Audio Mostly 2021, Trento University, Italy

In this paper we report on two ethnographic studies of professional music producers at work in their respective studio settings, to underpin the design of intelligent tools and platforms in this domain. The studies are part of a body of work that exp... Read More about The Meaning in "the Mix": Using Ethnography to Inform the Design of Intelligent Tools in the Context of Music Production.
