| what we will do |
This course provides a foundation in the techniques of sound design, recording, production, and editing, for digital audio media. Students will understand the physics of sound, audio and audio editing terminology, and the digital processes used to transform sound. Students will both create and record sound files, and edit and produce a variety of multimedia audio elements using typical digital technology. Applicable uses include musical entertainment products, web site enhancements, games, sound tracks for video/film, multimedia products for promotion and learning, and virtual worlds. Students will understand what makes a professional recording sound good, what to do if it sounds bad, and how to record sound correctly and eliminate distortions and nasty room-effects. Students will also create sounds in software, apply effects such as EQ and compression, mix multi-track recordings, and produce audio products using current digital hardware and software. |
