Description:

The Audio and Recording Production Certificate makes use of SSU’s Walford Recording Studio, a state of the art Pro Tools HD facility located in Ives Hall. Students will use the recording studio as a lab to produce music as part of a formalized curriculum. Registered students are allotted personal studio time to work directly with Walford Studio hardware and software.

A faculty coordinator from the Department of Music will determine the eligibility of prospective students through a screening and application process. Basic orientation with computers and some fundamental music/audio experience is expected. Ability to read music notation is helpful. Applicants will be notified of their status by August 1 and are encouraged to attend an information session at the beginning of the academic semester.

A certificate will be awarded to students who successfully complete the two courses:

Audio & Recording Production I (Fall) – a fundamentals course to orient the student with the basic technologies and techniques of modern recording and production.

Topics:

The Recording/Production Process
Sound, Hearing, Studio Design, and Acoustics
Microphone Design, Applications, and Techniques
Analog and Digital Audio Technologies
MIDI and Electronic Music Technology
Audio & Recording Production II (Spring) – an advanced course focusing on the critical and creative aspects of production culminating in a capstone project bringing together the recording and mixing techniques acquired during the year.
