Course Outline
Practical Component
A series of exercises and practical submissions are required throughout the course covering areas such as editing, sampling, arrangement, production techniques, synthesis and performance. You will have many opportunities to experiment with creating your own music productions, and to develop your skills in live-set performance - compiling a small portfolio of work. You will be trained in MIDI recording and sequencing within a virtual studio environment. The combination of audio and MIDI for production and remixing is examined and you will have the opportunity to experiment with fresh ideas to achieve your own unique compositions. Industry-standard Digital Audio Workstations will be examined in depth. The application of different creative editing techniques will be explored to enhance your productions and remixes.
Over the six-month course you are introduced to a range of samplers, synthesizers and different studio software. Various sound design and sound shaping techniques are examined, and you will learn different creative and technical aspects of sampling and beat programming.
Theoretical Component
Sound theory, studio theory, MIDI theory and music theory are at the core of this course. You will learn the essentials of audio engineering through sound theory, EQ, FX, dynamics, and signal flow. You will be introduced to a professional studio, and analyse various home studio set-ups. Songwriting and composition structure is supported through music theory and arrangement techniques in electronic music production.
