Title: Audio Fundamentals I 实验室

学期批准2020年春季
Five-Year Review Semester: 2025年秋季
学期结束: 2025年秋季

Catalog Description: This course focuses on the study of the fundamentals of sound and how it can be captured, manipulated and reproduced. It functions as an Audio 实验室 for MUSC 3350 Audio Fundamentals I to cover non-computer aspects of sound and 记录. This course is the first of two laboratory courses and aspects of sound, 声学, 心理声学, 记录, 音频处理, mixing and mastering.

的理由: Although the personal computer has revolutionized the study, production and distribution of music, the basic concepts of sound remain unchanged. An understanding of how sound travels through the air and reacts in a room, how a microphone works, and what compression and equalization are remain paramount for anyone who produces music and records audio. This type of course is offered for music majors at four-year institutions in the State of Utah, and is a regular course offering around the country. The Horne School of Music at 雪的大学 is an accredited member of The National Association of Schools of Music, and NASM requires that its member schools prepare students by teaching them the purpose and use of audio technology in various forms as part of undergraduate music training. This course, in conjunction with MUSC 3351 (Audio Fundamentals 实验室 II), fulfills that requirement.

Pedagogy Statement:
Students will attend a one hour lab once per week in a 记录 studio facility that has the capability to record elements with microphones, demonstrate mixing techniques, and play back auditory examples over quality speakers and/or headphones. The instructor will assign reading or video preparation for students to become familiar with topical concepts. Students will then attend labs to experience the concepts covered in the reading/video preparation.
