Advanced Audio Techniques

This course will focus on developing and reinforcing technical skills, musical concepts, and critical listening abilities associated with the practice of composition in electronic/computer music studios and software. These studies will be tied to a broad range of aesthetic approaches and discussions of sound processing, synthesis, spatialization, and recording techniques. Through projects and focused study, students will expand their knowledge and craft, and will provide each other with a forum for exploring their creative studio work. Class size is limited. MUSC 1200 is a prerequisite, and preference will be given to students who have also taken other music technology courses.
