H79.2266 Lecture 4 Credits
Instructor(s): Palkowski
This course is aimed towards providing the student with a basic knowledge of principles and practices of digital audio from a creative perspective. Each class has both an ‘analog’ and a digital component, the former providing the student with an understanding of audio fundamentals (mics, mixers, recording devices, etc.) and the latter focusing on several popular software audio tools and peripherals (Ableton Live, Audacity, Soundhack, etc.). The curriculum is flexible, based on the experience level and needs of the participants. This is a dynamic field, and ITP students bring many disciplines to the table. Through demonstrations, class discussions and assignments, the goal is to ensure that students are capable of bringing professional quality audio into their projects, and to introduce them to the underlying concepts that are found in digital production tools, regardless of brand. The final project is a short audio work which successfully employs the tools and concepts learned.
