Advances in the field of digital sound have placed the art of soundtrack production directly into the hands of the artist. Current technology now enables us to collect, combine, control and manipulate audio materials digitally, allowing us the artistic freedom to experiment with sound to a hitherto unprecedented degree. In this course, students learn the skills needed to create and produce a digital soundtrack. Topics include digital editing and sampling, mixing and MIDI. Through lab assignments, lectures, discussion, listening and observation, students learn basic and advanced concepts in audio production. The goal of the course is to enable students to produce soundtracks of both artistic interest and professional sound quality for their own media projects.
