As students conceive and create their own audio projects, the course emphasizes core concepts and skills that equip students to work across media, whether radio, film or video, multimedia, or CD production. Recording, editing, mixing, microphone techniques, and writing skills provide production context for projects and prepare students for advanced work in audio and inter-media applications. Working with analog and digital recording technologies and digital audio workstations (Macintosh computers and ProTools software), each student produces three projects. While each project is aimed at building proficiency in specific production skills, students also gain experience in developing content and form. In-class listening, analysis and critique, and assigned readings provide support and context for production work. Prerequisite: Integrated Media Production or permission of the instructor.
