Learning Outcome

The projects class will help students understand and prepare for real-world applications of the tools and techniques used in music production. A good working knowledge and understanding of MIDI, music compositional techniques, digital workstations(such as Pro Tools, Logic, Digital Performer), Virtual Instrument plug-ins and other production components are required. The class will review some basic principles and teach more advanced uses of these technologies. Class projects will range from realistic drum sequencing, writing and producing jingles, song clones to scoring for video and film.
