About the Course

In this course students learn some of the properties of relevant media genres. We focus on voice recording techniques in different genres, post production basics, DAW skills. We work practically on media projects to gain skills and experience in post-production work.

Traditional and new media, whether pure audio media or sound for picture, represent work opportunities and career paths for those educated in sound and music production. As a Sound- and music production student, it is important to explore career opportunities, not only in individualistic artistic directions, but in aspects of the trade that are particularly sought after in the job marketplace.

The technical training and experience gained while working on these learning activities also contributes to cross-disciplinary technical and soft social skills
