Hip-hop hacks everything, including music production. Audio production tools revolutionize the way we create music, from sound design, Foley and film scoring to MIDI, mics, DJ software and samplers. Attendees will  learn about existing tools and invent new ones. The day will include hands-on workshops at LIU’s production studios.

Come learn about existing tools, and invent new ones, at our first-ever Hip-Hop Hacks: Music Production! Presented by Monthly Music Hackathon and #HipHopHacks at Long Island University’s downtown Brooklyn production studios. RSVP here.
