This course serves as an introduction to the basics of audio hardware and signal paths in tandem with the use of Digital Audio Workstations. The course will focus on the production of music, radio spots, programing of MIDI melodies and song creation and recreation. In doing this the students will develop and gain engineering and music production skills in recording, mixing, editing, arranging, and composition. This will be accomplished via a fundamental understanding and a historical perspective of the architecture of music concepts such as scales, keys, chords, melody, rhythm, meter, song form, music notation, and musical textures, re-mixing loops and tempo maps, which will be covered in this class.
