Name of Workshop: Intro to 21st Century Recording and Technology

Total Hours: 6

Workshop Description: This workshop melds traditional audio theory into creative and experimental recording techniques using contemporary technology - the IPad and the Mac Laptop. Students will engage in hands-on-training in the art of capturing sound with a portable recording device preparing them for both contemporary and future recording scenarios. Students will also focus on the roles and the dynamics of personnel in the recording environment to prepare themselves to adapt and contribute in the modern audio recording marketplace.

Workshop Learning Outcomes

Success completion on this workshop will enable the student to:

• Construct a modern approach to audio recording based on both historical and 21st century techniques and philosophies.
• Explain the roles and functions, as well as the relationships of personnel involved in the audio recording process.
• Demonstrate the differences in the sonic properties and recording options for common instruments (the voice, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, percussion and electronic keyboards).
• Practice both acoustic (microphones) and direct (D.I. and USB/digital signals) recording techniques.
• Complete common audio recording chain signal paths.
• Employ sound and sonic manipulations.
• Operate a digital audio workstation.

Name of Workshop: Emotional Music Theory

Total Hours: 6

Workshop Description: This introductory workshop illustrates a modern approach to music theory and how it is applied to the modern audio market place. The students will learn to create energy, emotion and mood through their own compositions in the recording process. This workshop will also provide the students with hands-on-training on a musical instrument within an IPad and/or Mac Laptop computer. The students will focus on the key fundamental elements in music such as rhythm, harmony, melody, form and texture. The students will learn the basics in ear training and how it is applied to audio engineering.

Workshop Learning Outcomes:

Successful completion of this workshop will enable the student to:

• Understand energy, emotion and mood in music and sound.
• Explain and illustrate the fundamental elements in music theory.
• Demonstrate music composition in audio engineering.
• Employ rhythm, harmony, melody, form and texture in recording music.

Name of Workshop: The Mixing Technique

Total Hours: 6

Workshop Description: This workshop explores and develops the art and science of mixing a multi-track recording into a stereo file ready for mastering. An examination of the history of decades of tools and techniques developed from mixing in the analogue domain will reveal and develop the background knowledge necessary to move into the present methods of mixing entirely “in the box” (in the computer). This will be followed by learning newer tools and techniques previously impossible in the analogue domain. Upon completion of this course, students will have the technical and artistic knowledge necessary to develop compelling mixes in a Mac based Digital Audio Workstation.

Workshop Learning Outcomes:

Success completion on this workshop will enable the student to:

• Construct a current approach to mixing an audio recording built from an understanding of the past approaches in analog mixing and culminating into 21st century tools, techniques and philosophies.
• Incorporate the understanding and ability to utilize the signal flow adopted from an analogue mixing console and outboard equipment now employed in a Digital Audio Workstation environment.
• Demonstrate knowledge of the various signal processing tools utilized in mixing a multi-track recording and how these tools have migrated from the analogue domain into the digital realm.
• Utilize the latest digital hardware and software tools (ipad controllers, control surfaces, plugins, various DAW formats).
• Practice mixing techniques that have developed in various genres of music.
• Deliver a compelling stereo mix from a multi-track recording using a digital audio workstation and control surface.
• Present and promote final mix work to an online audience.

Name of Workshop: Electro Acoustic Audio Creation

Total Hours: 6

Workshop Description: This workshop will provide a brief history of the basic themes and elements in electroacoustic music from both the classic school (e.g., Cage, Eno, Schaeffer) and the modern school (e.g., Deadmau5, Teebs, Daft Punk). The students will work within apps to compose

Name of Workshop: Electro Acoustic Audio Creation

Total Hours: 6

Workshop Description: This workshop will provide a brief history of the basic themes and elements in electroacoustic music from both the classic school (e.g., Cage, Eno, Schaeffer) and the modern school (e.g., Deadmau5, Teebs, Daft Punk). The students will work within apps to compose and manipulate soundscapes with techniques such as sampling, electronic composition, IOS recording and found-sound organization among others. In addition, students will build their own personal sonic brand by studying, analyzing and emulating a broad array of styles within the electroacoustic realm (e.g., hip hop, dance, ambient). Students will also focus on the newly-evolving role of the sonic producer of electroacoustic music to prepare them to adapt and contribute in the modern audio marketplace.

Workshop Learning Outcomes

Success completion on this workshop will enable the student to:

• Construct both classic and modern school electroacoustic sonic productions with the IPad and apps.
• Explain the function and role of electronic based music, and demonstrate an understanding of the electroacoustic styles.
• Explain acoustic and digital sound properties and characteristics.
• Manipulate electroacoustic compositions through the digital audio recording chain
