The Electronic Music Production (EMP) course is intended for musicians and DJs who enjoy experimenting as well as people with a distinct interest in electronic music. SAE's EMP is ideal if:
|
|
Audio Engineering Fundamentals
Students learn sound theory, equalisation, studio effects and dynamic processors, analogue and digital mixing consoles. Students will examine various home studio set-ups in relation to project requirements.
Music Production
Music theory fundamentals, composition structure and arrangement techniques are taught in this section of the course. Mastering techniques for several media e.g. CD, vinyl and internet are also covered.
Hard-disk Recording
Through a program of consecutive practical exercises, students learn how to operate industry standard editing systems. Students gain skills in editing sound files effectively, as well as the creative application of editing techniques for vocal and instrument recording.
MIDI and Sequencing
Utilising industry standard sequencing software, students are trained in MIDI recording, sequencing and virtual studio environments. Integration of audio and MIDI for remixing is discussed and solutions are demonstrated. Students are encouraged to experiment with new ideas to achieve unique compositions.
Sampling and Synthesis
Samplers, synthesizers and virtual studio software is explained and various sound shaping techniques are explored. Sampling and beat programming are combined technically and creatively.
Students are introduced to basic sound design.
Theoretical lectures are presented in a classroom environment while most practical studio time is provided to you on an individual basis. During each session a supervisor is available to provide assistance as required.
The EMP is an innovative combination of lecture based training and practical studio tuition.
Lecture based training
Consists of interactive sessions based on comprehensive notes and visual demonstrations of theory and concepts. Guest lecturers are invited to provide industry workshops. Students are assessed on all topics covered at the end of the course.
In-studio training
Lecturers and established industry guests conduct studio demonstrations showcasing studio equipment and best practice production techniques. Students are tested individually on key studio processes before progressing to each stage in the course.
Studio access
Students gain access to SAE's world class audio studios, production suites and computer workstations outside of class times under expert supervision. Students are actively encouraged to take advantage of studio access to maximise their learning.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a stand-alone course.
