MUSI 4770 - Music & Recording Technology V

Credit Hours: 3

Music & Recording Technology V is the capstone course in the music department’s music technology course offerings. Throughout the semester, students will complete a comprehensive recording portfolio that consists of detailed written reports which outline all technical and artistic decisions, processes that were utilized to create five recording projects (four guided, one self-guided). While the completion of the portfolio is generally self-guided, each student’s work will be reviewed and critiqued by the professor of record three times throughout the semester (week 5, week 10, week 15). Once completed, the portfolio can be used as a tool for internship applications, future employment applications, and the like. All class lectures in MUS 4770 will consist of discussions centered around the following topics: advanced editing and production skills used in Pro Tools software, figureheads in the fields of audio engineering and music production, proper engineering etiquette, communicating well with clients, understanding the role technology serves in helping to achieve artistic goals.
