Course Code
Academic Year
In this course, students develop advanced techniques in sound editing and sound mixing. Industry standard practices in the use of audio hardware and software allow students to explore the creative and technical aspects of sound in film, video, video games, radio, and emerging media. Consideration is given to technical elements including wave theory, software signal path and editing tools, audio processing techniques and sound sweetening plug-ins. The creative factors investigated include: layering and mixing sounds; synchronizing music to picture; foley and creative sound recording techniques; methods of spotting picture for sound design. Students use audio post-production facilities to prepare, design, record, edit and mix a variety of sound projects, and to study sound wave theory as it relates to recording and post-production processes.
