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.
