| 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). |
