MUS 1940 Introduction to Audio Engineering
This course will introduce the student to the fundamentals of audio engineering. The course begins with the basics of how sound propagates and how we perceive it, and moves on to examine the devices that are used to capture (microphones), route (consoles), store (analog and digital recording), manipulate (EQ, compression, reverb, etc.) and listen back (speakers) to recordings. The course requires no previous experience with audio engineering and is open to students from any major at the university. The instructor's assessment of each student's performance in this course will determine which students will be allowed to proceed to upper-level courses in audio engineering.
