This class provides instruction in the use of digital recording studio equipment, microphone design and placement techniques, mixing console design, signal flow, monitoring techniques, room acoustics, and signal processing.  There will be written assignments based upon readings in Huber's Modern Recording Techniques , and students will present research on topics related to audio production.  In addition to the in-class activities, students will do at least 50 hours of recording and familiarization work in teams of two people each.  We will record local musicians and produce finished mixes of the sessions.
