This module is not currently running in 2024 to 2025.
This module covers the essential concepts and techniques necessary for recording, editing and mixing in Pro Tools. It will cover virtual instruments and plugins, working with audio files and writing/editing automation. Students will discover how to work with the digital audio workstation, bounce down to a final master and export their audio. Topics will be approached in the form of a short mini-lecture/demonstration, and will subsequently be explored practically in a workshop format. Thus the module will combine an intellectual understanding of the matters at hand with a hands-on learning-by-doing approach.
