The audio engineering course, is aimed at the students who want to learn how to record, edit, mix and master their tracks professionally.
About the Course
Students will first learn about the different types of microphones, how a typical studio is put together and how everything is connected, as well as getting familiar with the studio hardware used in the CSS recording studios.
Through the combination of theory and practice, students will learn and experiment on the various microphone recording techniques.
Then the learning will progress by teaching the use of equalization, dynamics and effects, before embarking into exploring mixing and mastering techniques.
Finally, students will combine the knowledge that was gained from the course to record, edit, mix and master their final project, to successfully complete the course.
Resources
The lessons will take place in the classroom, mixing / recording studios and the main recording studio as required. Students will have to their disposal the latest software, as well as a wide variety of hardware, including: wide choice of microphones, a variety of studio hardware, electric guitar / bass guitar amplifiers and instruments.
Support
Due to the fact that the classes are small in size, students will benefit from having more time to experiment with the equipment and also receive better individual support by the teacher.
