Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1. To gain a critical understanding of, and hands-on experience with the equipment and practices of sound recording and editing techniques and design.
2. To develop practical and creative approaches to recording, creating, editing and manipulating audio.
3. To discuss the recent aesthetic and social contexts of expressing aural information and designing sound.

Course Content

This subject requires all students to have regular access to a software of digital audio workstation (DAW). The recommended DAW for Mac and Windows users is Ableton Live Intro, version 8 or better. Any other DAWs may also be used, though only limited support and instruction will be provided. You must consult with the instructor before using any other software.
All students are expected to have regular access to a computer (regardless of the type of the operating system) with an internet connection, be able to listen to sounds on this computer (with or without headphones), and regularly check their personal e-mail account and the course website/blog. Course announcements and comments on submitted work will always be distributed directly via e-mail.
There are no lecture notes that contain any related course information and classes will be held aurally, encouraing student participation to in-class discussions.
