| Course Objectives | An elective course in Music and Computers is ideal for students who intend to work with music, media, and technology. Music and Computer Science are getting more closely linked each day. Live music performances and modern media applications involve computer technology, from recording studios, synthesizers, and samplers to 3-dimensional controllers for manipulating sounds of all kind. Especially, computers and related software are widely used in producing music recordings: music for film, advertisements, and for video games. Both acoustic and sampled instruments and synthesized sound sources are used to produce some of these music pieces. Therefore, we will focus on these issues in this course. |
| Learning Outcomes |
The students who succeeded in this course;
|
| Course Description | Introduction to acoustics. Fundamentals of sound, and the signal flow that sound takes through a typical recording system. Sound characteristics such as amplitude and frequency. Sound analysis techniques and visualizing sounds. Recording techniques: essential components used in the music production process. Sound synthesis and computer music: digital signal processing and sound generation techniques. Sound editing techniques: components of sound editing. Stages of sound to microphone, from microphone to computer, and then back to speakers. Analog to digital converters (ADC) and digital to analog converters (DAC). Mixing board and mixing process. |
