Course work: The course is centered around a final project. The student is required to complete a substantial recording project before the end of winter quarter. Studio exercises and homework assignments will be given and account for 25% of the grade, the remaining 75% will be the recording project.
The final project is due at the final class meetings (dead week), Monday, March 12 and Wednesday, March 14 at 10:30 am. We will meet in the studio and listen to everyone's work. The projects should be about 5 minutes long (1 or 2 songs or equivalent amount of material). They should be edited to eliminate unwanted sounds before and after the selections, either by editing or by using automation on the mixing board. Submissions should be played from the control room computer. Grading will consider the technical aspects of the recording, including the sound of the recording (i.e. noise, pops/clicks, tonal balance, sound of instruments), editing/presentation of the final product (i.e. levels, balance, etc.), and the difficulty and complexity of the project. You should be prepared to describe to the class what you did and how you did it.
