MUSI363

This course is an in-depth approach to audio recording in a variety of professional settings with a focus on production, mixing and mastering. Additional topics include complex microphone setups, analog recording to tape, signal processors and use of plug-ins (reverb, compression, delays, etc.). Production and engineering techniques will be explored through musical examples and class projects. Essential studio techniques and foundational information will be reinforced, building on material developed in Recording Arts I. Each week, hands-on making will be paired with short readings and historical examples that will provide a context for sound of all kinds in contemporary recorded music.
