Summer Course DXARTS: Fundamentals of Digital Sound

Hi, DXARTS is offering the Fundamentals of Digital Sound this summer to all non-DXARTS undergraduates and graduates – no add code is required.   This course does not presume knowledge of computer programing of entering students.

Students will learn:

•       Digital sound for digital art applications
•       Project-based course focused on creating experimental sound compositions
•       Overview of the history of electronic music and analysis of important works from its cannon
•       Acoustics
•       Psychoacoustics
•       Digital sound theory
•       Digital signal processing
•       Recording techniques
•       24-hour access to DXARTS sound computer labs and equipment
•       Multi-tracking, recording, editing, mixing and mastering using Digital Audio
Workstations (DAW)

In DXARTS 460 you will create your own experimental sound compositions, while learning basic techniques of sound editing, such as time-segmentation, pitch shifting, time stretching, filtering, etc.
