Prerequisite: AT101
This course emphasizes the role of the computer in audio engineering, including advanced instruction in digital audio workstations, sequencing, MIDI theory, and the operation of analog vs. digital consoles. An introduction to intermediate signal flow will be covered on both analog and digital consoles, and students will begin to work collectively in the recording studio environment. Session procedures will be emphasized and common documentation practices reviewed. An introduction to Pro Tools will also be implemented as intermediate signal flow concepts within the DAW environment are explored.
