Students examine the art and craft of contemporary music composition and production, sound design and signal processing, mixing, signal flow, advanced audio and MIDI editing operations, digital audio theory and fundamentals, synthesis and sampling, and much more.
Students are also exposed to fundamental legal and workplace requirements including copyright, publishing, legislation, contracts and invoicing.
