Course overview

Sound engineering involves the artistic and technical control of sound in the field of music. This course will develop advanced theoretical and practical understanding of sound engineering and its associated principles: recording, mixing, production and mastering. This will be achieved by theoretical and practical engagement with sound engineering through lectures, tutorials and workshops. In particular, students will actively engage with learning, developing and analysing the practice of sound engineering, as it applies to a range of musical genres, through topics such as: session management and planning, studio use, signal flow, microphone and recording techniques, mixing, production and mastering; complete readings and critical listening that reinforce concepts, provide new insights and techniques; and perform practical exercises that promote investigative learning and research.

Course learning outcomes

  • Identify, describe and explain advanced sound engineering concepts associated with signal flow, microphones, recording, mixing, production and mastering.
  • Employ and apply sound engineering technologies and techniques in a manner that displays advanced practical and creative understanding and fluency.
  • Demonstrate independent, imaginative and creative approaches to problem solving in the field of sound engineering.
  • Develop research skills and a critical understanding of sound engineering and its associated areas.
