This course provides terminology and skills for sound design, analyzing and writing basic music scores, and spotting cues for film/video/game music. Create unique sound scores using industry standard software for various media through practical, hands-on activities, including sound recording, editing and mixing, audio manipulation and electronic synthesis. There is no textbook for this course. However, an external hard drive will be required to store projects; 250 GB would be a good minimum size since audio and video files are generally quite large. This is a college-level course. Although assignments, tests, and quizzes are optional for Community Education students, you will be expected to fully participate. This is a non-credit Community Education class. You will not receive college credit.
