MUS 12 Intro to Music Technology

This Introduction to Music Technology course provides a hands-on exploration of digital audio production, sound design, and recording techniques. Students will develop foundational skills in Ableton Live, learning to manipulate audio and MIDI, apply effects, and craft original compositions. Through practical exercises, they will gain an understanding of the physics of sound, synthesis, microphone techniques, and signal processing, while also experimenting with live performance tools and interactive media. Critical listening and analysis will sharpen their ear for production quality, and collaborative projects will encourage creative expression. By the end of the course, students will be equipped with the technical and artistic skills to confidently create, record, and manipulate sound in a digital environment.
