Term: Semester
Credits: .5
Prerequisites: Survey of Technology
In Music Technology, students use computers to produce music and design sound, even without prior musical or programming experience. Learners completing all components of study will gain a broad understanding of what is involved in the creation of music and soundboard sample packs for distribution from composition to final release. Students will mix music, produce beats, and synthesize electronic sequences using a digital audio workstation (DAW). Students will learn audio, MIDI, control voltage, and gate signal flow, in addition to song-writing and composition with text-based programming. Students will create a distribution-ready song, soundtrack/soundscape, or sample pack aligned with their interests, with an option to publish.
