Special APEA Course Offering in the School of Music
The School of Music is a part of Carnegie Mellon's College of Fine Arts. Students in the APEA program may elect to take the following course as part of their program of study in APEA.

57-337 Sound Recording (6 or 9 units)
This course centers around the new recording studio in the School of Music: how the studio works and how to record various types of music, including classical music, using the recording studio and the Kresge Recital Hall, which has audio and video links to the recording studio.

The method of instruction is to learn by doing, and the goal, from the very first session, is to achieve professional-sounding results. Equipment includes a complete 24-track Pro-Tools system; professionally designed control room that can accommodate up to 24 people outboard preamps and other gear; an interesting array of microphones. All recording is direct to hard disc.

The lecture portion of the course will cover the basics of sound, wave propagation, human hearing, psychoacoustics, transducers (microphones and speakers), mixing consoles, signal processors, digital and analog recording systems, and signal flow.

There are no specific prerequisites for the course, although reading music and/or playing an insturment would be helpful.
