The purpose of this course is to expose the student to the equipment used in various recording situations and its operation, as well as discussing the artistic use of this equipment. Although predominately a techniques course, areas which affect the creative aspects of the final recording will be discussed (such as microphone placement, tasteful vs. inappropriate editing, etc.). In addition to the recording aspects, other electronic instruments used in performances will be surveyed, including synthesizers of various types (both keyboard and non-keyboard) and traditional electronic instruments (guitars, electronic organs, electronic pianos, and various sound modification devices).
