In this course we will undertake a comprehensive survey of sound, audio and the related technology. While covering sound recording from an historical perspective, we'll touch on related material in physics, music, psychology and acoustics. In lab exercises and assignments, students will have the opportunity to learn in a hands-on environment as practical applications of the lecture material are explored. Assignments will include critical listening, in addition to basic recording, editing and mixing of audio. The course will culminate in a comprehensive final project.

The best aspects of the course included the interesting material and the hands-on approach to learning sound recording. Students appreciated the valuable lessons on sound editing and production, the enjoyable assignments, and the visit to the Peabody studios. Many students found the lectures to be dense, overly technical, and not very engaging. Suggestions for improvement included having more lab sessions and hands-on opportunities, abbreviating the sections on history, and making lectures more interactive. Prospective students should know that this class is interesting and technical.
