| RATIONALE | This course
exists to address a need for instruction in a large segment of the
ever-expanding field of digital technology. Digital audio recording is
of primary importance to musicians and the music, film, and television
industries, as well as to the burgeoning variety of online digital
platforms and services. As such it has become a key component in arts
education, the economics of mass media, and culture. |

| DESCRIPTION |
MUSI/COMM/FINA
110 is an introduction to the processes of digital audio production for
music. It is designed to be a "quick-start" process for those who want
to learn how to record, edit, process, and mix musical materials of all
types (e.g.: acoustic, digital, electronic analog, and
MIDI-controlled). This course will provide the foundation for more
in-depth and comprehensive study of the art of digital audio
production. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ATTENDANCE POLICY |
Attendance is
highly recommended. Much of the course material presented requires
physical familiarity with the equipment. Quizzes missed for whatever
reason may not be made up. The instructor is the sole arbiter of
whether an absence is excused or unexcused; the instructor will make
such a determination in a fair and objective way on an ad hoc basis.
For quizzes missed because of such excused absence, no grade will be
entered. For quizzes missed because of an unexcused absence, the grade
will be a 0 for the missed assignment(s). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ASSESSABLE LEARNING GOALS |
Proficiency with the course content and objectives will be assessed by quizzes in which the student will be given specific tasks to accomplish in a studio setting, and a major digital audio project designed and executed by the student (e.g.: musical piece or short musical soundtrack). Rubrics will be associated with these learning goals. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
