    MIDI, the acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is one of the newest and most exciting areas of the modern recording industry. MIDI is the electronic marriage of music and computer technology and is a revolutionary event in the history of music composition, recording and arranging. MIDI, specifically, uses three components: a computer (Mac), software (Performer, Mark of the Unicorn), and a controller (keyboard). The students will learn to record music using this equipment in two ways: step recording (entering each note individually) and real time playing. Multitimbre tones (sequencing) may be used and up to sixteen track recording is available. Lecture ( 45.00)

    This course is a continuation of MIDI and the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) I, expanding upon and adding to the skills learned in the previous semester in the areas of MIDI and digital audio recording. Digital Audio Workstations prepares the students for the real world use of Logic in the music production industries. Students apply previous knowledge of MIDI/DAW I, mixing, tracking, and go fully digital and non-linear with Logic. All aspects of digital editing, clocking, tracking, mixing, mastering, surround / DTS encoding, and MIDI production are explained in detail, and students have their own studio for hands-on training during their labs. Lecture ( 30.00) Laboratory ( 30.00) Prerequisites: MUS-135 Corequisites: MUS-134
