The Art of Acoustic Recording
F05, F06
Julie Last, Scott Lehrer
Building on the fundamentals developed in the Beginning Recording Workshop, this class will focus on specific techniques for creating quality recordings of a wide variety of instruments and voices. We will develop an understanding of the sonic and musical properties that make each instrument unique as well as techniques for working with live instrumentalists and vocalists in the studio. Students will be recording and mixing multitrack sessions and will be encouraged to work collaboratively with others on group assignments. We will do critical listening to a variety of types of recorded music and apply our observations to your own projects. You are also expected participate in Music Workshop by sharing work you have developed during the term.
