Abstract [en]
This thesis investigates the role of recording techniques in immersive music production, aiming to balance practicality and necessity. Through four case studies involving harp, piano, sitar and an original music production inspired by a letter, the research examines how the creative process within music production and recording techniques are influenced by immersive music in mind. Utilizing qualitative observation and quantitative technical experiments, the study documents the process and outcomes, revealing the significance of immersive microphone techniques for maintaining realistic spatialization. Future directions include further exploration of recording techniques and creative applications within immersive music production. By comparing various recording methods, this work contributes a unique perspective to the field, enhancing our understanding of the interplay between technology, creativity, and musical immersion.
