To improve ability, users may find free tutorials and lessons online on services such as YouTube, alleviating the need to attend a formal physical or online school. Although there are many free online tutorials on the fundamentals of music production, without a sense of organization between the tutorials, many beginner producers end up lacking knowledge of major topics crucial to advancing to intermediate and advanced levels of production. Knowledge of the fundamentals of recording, producing, mixing, and mastering will give a novice producer enough of a foundation to advance to a higher quality and level of production and the ability to seek out more advanced learning topics.en-USMusic Technology10.7912/C23071
