An advanced project-oriented course focused on the mastery of an integrated electronic production environment using a wide variety of hardware and software. Emphasis is placed on advanced techniques in MIDI sequencing with audio production. These techniques are applied in a series of projects including orchestral emulation, music and sound design for animation, and remixes of existing vocal tracks. Supporting topics include advanced real-time control of synthesis parameters, manipulation of musical time and tempo, and effectively working with various rhythmic feels. Special attention will be paid to integrating hardware instruments and controllers in a software-based DAW production environment.
