    Credits:2 credits Prerequisites:MP-340 and written approval of course chair Course Chair:R. Jaczko Required of:None Electable by:MPED majors Offered:Spring, Summer, Fall Description Monitored and evaluated professional work experience in an environment related to the music production and engineering major. Placement is limited to situations available from or approved by the Office of Experiential Learning and the Music Production and Engineering Department chair or designee. To apply for an internship, students must see the internship coordinator in the Office of Experiential Learning prior to registering. Note: Equivalent credit for prior experience is not available due to the requirement of concurrent contract between the employer/supervisor and the college. nternational students in F-1 status must obtain authorization on their Form I-20 from the Counseling and Advising Center prior to beginning an internship.

    Credits:2 credits Prerequisites:MTEC-111 and either LMSC-208 or LMSC-209 Course Chair:K. Biederwolf Required of:MSYN majors Electable by:MPED and MSYN majors Offered:Spring, Summer, Fall Description A study of the generators and processors that comprise modern analog, virtual, and hybrid modular music synthesis systems including MSP, Nord Modular, Oberheim Xpander, and others. Topics include geometric waveforms, aperiodic functions, filters, two- and four-quadrant modulation, envelopes, and rudimentary sequencing using analog-modeled, multistep sequencers. Analysis of signal characteristics including amplitude, frequency, phase, polarity, waveshape, and spectrum, and the aural results of alteration of these characteristics when a signal is used to modulate them. Signal analysis using hardware and/or software-based oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer. Rudimentary sound design studies based on familiar instrumental and electronic models. This course will be acceptable in lieu of MTEC-222 for MPED majors as a technology core requirement.

    Credits:2 credits Prerequisites:None Course Chair:K. Biederwolf Required of:None Electable by:All Offered:Spring, Fall Description A survey of electronic musical instruments, computer technology, and other electronic techniques used to create film scores, illustrated with film clips and recordings, from the coming of sound (circa 1927) through the modern era. Practical demonstrations of contemporary techniques (sampling, DSP, filtering, vocoding, etc.) will be presented in class, both live and using film clips. Techniques for editing and integration of music, Foley, and FX will be discussed. Orientation revolves around the evolution of specific electronic musical instruments and/or techniques, rather than traditional film genres such as drama, science fiction, comedy, thriller, action, and documentary.

    Credits:2 credits Prerequisites:MS-220, MS-223, and either MS-225 or MTEC-221 Course Chair:K. Biederwolf Required of:MSYN majors Electable by:MSYN majors Offered:Spring, Summer, Fall Description Based on theory and skills learned in Studio Technologies, this course places a primary emphasis on the improvement of student productions through effective mixing techniques. Mixing, processing, equalization, dynamics, working in stereo and surround, and other techniques will be explored and applied to a series of projects. Genre-specific techniques will be discussed, in addition to mix-for-picture and sound design scenarios.
