So what do you want to learn?
Audio Recording, Digital Audio, MIDI production, Audio for
Video??? We've got it all, and what's more, when you graduate from
the program, you will too. The Recording Arts program covers all
these and other classes such as Lighting Technology, Live Sound
Reinforcement, Desktop Music Publishing, and more! Above all else
though, your time will be spent learning hands on. That means more
than just knowing "How" to use any given piece of
equipment, but how to be creative, to problem solve, and to use
the resources at hand to create amazing music.
Starting your first semester,
you will have the opportunity to put your hands on the gear, and
your ears in front of the monitors as you record, mix, and master
projects of your own from first tracking, to finished CD. As you
progress through the next four semesters, your projects grow to
use Digital Audio Workstations (DAW'S), plug-ins, effects
processors, video editors and more! With each new class you will
learn more about microphone placement, mixing techniques, looping,
triggering, music, and video synchronization, and a whole host of
other things that will contribute to your final Thesis project
where you will record, mix and master a complete packaged CD from
start to finish.
Along the way you will have
built a portfolio of all of the recordings, songs, sequences,
music videos, and other projects that you can take to potential
employers to help you get a job in this fast paced and exciting
industry. And did we mention the required internship with a
recording facility or live sound company that you will get to take
part in? While we may work hard, we have a great time doing it.
Follow the Audio Tech link to the left under the
Four-Semester-Plan for your recommended semester-by-semester
enrollment.
