Course Modules
Module 4: Engineering and Interdisciplinary Audio
Production
An introduction to the technical and practical operations of a modern recording
studio, along with the theoretical bases for these practices; emphasis on
microphone design and application in complex multi-tracking projects; broad
overview of analog and digital audio processing technology and their practical
applications. Understanding the mixing and mastering process in respect to the
production process of collaborative interdisciplinary artistic project work from
various fields.
Objectives:
To understand the functioning of a project recording studio and professional
recording studio.
To understand underpinnings of audio engineering.
To improve the necessary software knowledge, programming and design skills
for audio production.
To hear minute gradients of sound in the context of the capabilities of the
recording studio environment.
To gain experience recording and mixing in the context of production for
specific audio applications.
To develop composition techniques relevant to sound engineering and
production in the recording studio.
