Interactivity and DSP: Laptop Music

This course is a project-based exploration of digital sound, from capture (microphone techniques), through processing (Digital Audio Workstations and mixing/signal processing techniques), to reproduction (speakers/headphones). Listening and ear training for sound production will be a central theme, with the aim of improving our ability to connect control parameters with perceptual experience. Broader questions about the relationships between production tools and the creative process will also be considered. Approach will be genre-agnostic, and principles and practices should be relevant regardless of aesthetic. For Midterm and Final Projects, students will bring a set of raw stems through the mixing and final mastering process. This class builds on the concepts covered in Music 1313, which is a recommended (but not required) pre-requisite. Enrollment by permission of instructor.
