Introduction to Digital Music · Music
A quick intro to a lot of music software like Audacity, Max, Ableton, VCV Rack. Some hardware and just physical sound stuff.
work at your own pace, do your own thing. midterm project and final project.
Final project (anything goes). Don't take the class if you don't want to schlep up to 125th.
I literally learned so much about all sorts of facets in music production techniques. I came into the course very unexperienced and now feel comfortable navigating multiple music production software's using compression, modulators, and other various sound creating and manipulation tools.
I learned how to use different softwares and about different instruments. I learned a lot of musical techniques too
I took the class with James and Brad, but I think James is the one who'll be teaching the classes in the future...He's the man. He knows anything and everything about computer music, and he'll show you how to do weird-ass things that you never thought were possible. And he will only get better in the future. He made the pain-in-the-ass walk to 125th St. (the class is in Prentis) well worth it. TAKE THIS CLASS. It should be required.
Terry Pender proves that there is life after majoring in music! He has a huge understanding of recorded music and the recording process, and you'll learn alot of the history behind recording, as well as MIDI production.
I learned so much in this class that it is a bit difficult to list. Broadly speaking I learned the Audacity program, and Ableton. We also covered compression wavetable, VST, Modular Synths, and how to use compression, reverb, and gate.
I learned SO MUCH in this class. Not only about myself as an artist, but how to use Ableton, Max, and Audacity. I have a whole new tool kit to make the music I want to.
Learned the basics to digital music production. Specifically, learned how to use Ableton. Also learned a little bit of digital synthesis.
