3.00 Credits
Course provides students with an advanced creative practice in audio art using digital audio workstations, a basic tool in the field of sound and music production. Through lectures, demonstrations, and production assignments, students gain valuable knowledge of the theory and practices of audio art as a recognized form of artistic expression using advanced techniques of audio manipulation on digital audio workstations. In addition to classroom activities, students complete assigned work in the Digital Audio Production Laboratory. 3 CREDITS CONCURRENT: 43-2215 AUDIO PRODUCTION II
-
3.00 Credits
This class provides the necessary basis for understanding the cognitive processes involved in our auditory perception of both speech and music. It will examine the basic cognitive theories of memory and attention, the underlying concepts of information processing, and how humans process auditory information to create meaningful events and elicit emotion. The course is multidisciplinary, with contributions from music, biology, physics, psychology, philosophy, and computer science. Numerous demonstrations are used to reinforce the theoretical material presented in the lectures. 3 CREDITS

4.00 Credits
Hands-on studio. This course builds upon the concepts introduced in Recording 1. Classes continue to focus on recording and mixing with the students taking a more active role in session operations. Course material will cover finer points of recording and mixing, such as microphone and signal processing techniques applied to specific instrument groups, detailed work with both natural and artificial reverberation, and use of automation and advanced processing techniques for mixing. Students will work in teams to complete recording projects in the department studios. 4 CREDITS CONCURRENT: 43-2210 RECORDING I
-
4.00 Credits
Course gives an overview of current studio recording techniques, covering such topics as microphone usage, signal routing, and synchronization, as well as session set-up and psychology. Course is taught by leading Chicago recording engineers and is geared toward advanced students who desire a career in music engineering. 4 CREDITS CONCURRENT: 43-3210 RECORDING II
-
3.00 Credits
Course introduces students to advanced concepts of musical design using tools of random access audio on a digital workstation. Each week, a component of musical design (for postproduction, editing, processing, and mixing) is introduced and illustrated by the instructor, who supervises the creation of a class project. This project serves as a model for techniques and aesthetics of DAW production. Students bring the weeks' instruction to their own team projects, which they complete in a time frame that parallels the class project. 3 CREDITS CONCURRENT: 43-3210 RECORDING II
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces students to advanced concepts and techniques of acoustic live sound recording and the relationship of acoustic recording with critical listening and high-definition playback systems. These techniques will help students gain essential knowledge of recording without the use of processing, such as equalization and compression, and to further understand how to properly assess such recordings through the assembly of high quality playback systems. 3 CREDITS CONCURRENT: 43-2220 LIVE SOUND RECORDING, 43-3210 RECORDING II
-
3.00 Credits
In this course, the focus is on the craft of studio recording as it developed in the first era of the audio industry, prior to the advantages afforded us by digital technologies. This lecture/ lab course is designed to teach the technologies, theories and creative processes engineers embraced in that era, such as live-to-stereo recording, linear-analog recording and editing, producing reverb using the analog plate and natural reverb chambers, analog delay techniques, and hybrid processing (daisy-chains) using discrete signal processors. 3 CREDITS CONCURRENT: 43-3220 MASTER CLASS IN STUDIO RECORDING
-
1.00 Credits
This course is designed specifically for the intermediate and advanced student to help bridge the skills taught in the classroom with those demonstrated in the marketplace. Typical internships are 10 to 20 hours per week, with a ratio of one credit for every five hours spent onsite. Internships are offered in each of the concentrations in Audio Arts and Acoustics. 1-6 CREDITS CONCURRENT: 43-1110 INTRODUCTION TO AUDIO, 43-1115 AUDIO PRODUCTION I, 43-2110 BASIC AUDIO SYSTEMS, 43-2215 CAREERS IN AUDIO
-
3.00 Credits
This course explores the aesthetics and techniques of sound design as art. A major component of the course will be in the ongoing analysis and critique of the student's work in progress. In addition to lecture, discussion, and analytical listening, students will have the opportunity to work one on one with the instructor. Students will be expected to work independently using the facilities of the AA&A Department on a project developed with the consent of the instructor. 3 CREDITS

3.00 Credits
The Independent Project in the Audio Arts & Acoustics Department is designed for the advanced student who wishes to do advanced study in an area covered in the curriculum or basic study in an area not covered by the curriculum. The Independent Project is a student-lead initiative with a faculty advisor alongside to help. The Independent Project must be approved by the coodinator of the most closely related concentration or by the chair of the department.
