As part of the Graduate School degree plan, one semester of Music Technology is required. Course content is project driven. This is a non-required but very useful and informative resource. Basic familiarity with the use of computers is assumed.
Some software is used only to facilitate conversions for web-ready objects.
For example, Finale manuscript pages can be exported as EPS files, placed in Adobe PageMaker, and exported as Acrobat PDF files for viewing and printing on the internet. That is the extent of the use of PageMaker for this class. Record both MIDI data and digital audio into Vision, listen to all data simultaneously, and edit it using many flexible editing procedures. Import a scene from a movie, TV commercial, even home video, and sweeten, add music tracks, and add sound fx completely synced to your video. Sequence an original background music track to the MDK QuickTime Movie trailer using any of the 18 QS6 synthesizers in the Music Computer Center.
