Students will be introduced to various audio techniques, covering the basics for writing, producing, and engineering productions for radio. Besides traditional analog recording techniques, students will also gain an overview of the basic elements of digital audio recording. Attendance is required. Two absences, or an absence on a day when projects are due, will result in a full letter grade drop for the course.
Projects are due when scheduled.
Project completion requires the use and familiarity of Audio Labs 1 and 3. In addition to the classroom-based lectures on Monday and Wednesday, students are required to spend one hour per week in the Audio Lab. Due to limited availability students must sign up for lab hours. It is the student's responsibility to coordinate their use of the audio lab in order to deliver their projects on time. Required readings provide the necessary background for project completion.
