What goes on in a recording studio can seem mysterious. This course serves to dissolve that mystery by providing students with hands-on experience in CCRMA's recording studio, covering both traditional and state of the art approaches to music production and building towards a focus in immersive audio. Aspiring producers, composers, songwriters, and sound designers will explore modern music production techniques including multitrack recording, use of microphones, acoustical and digital effects processing, and spatial mixing. They will also gain understanding for the components and signal flow of a recording studio and how it operates. Through a series of individual and collaborative projects, participants will learn to record and process audio in physical and virtual environments, develop production and compositional techniques, and build proficiency in a digital audio workstation (DAW). Additionally, the course introduces students to immersive audio and guides them through mixing in Dolby Atmos and recording in augmented environments using CCRMA's unique virtual acoustics system (CAVIAR). Students will have the opportunity to experiment with creating 3D "immersive" soundscapes, design custom virtual instruments, and create their own acoustical environments from impulse responses. The course culminates in a final project where students integrate their skills to produce an immersive song, composition, or soundscape. By the end, students will leave with a portfolio showcasing their growth and abilities in immersive music production.

This course, designed for musicians and non-musicians alike, introduces students to music-making as a tool for mental health and well-being. Partnering with a mental health-focused community organization, the course offers students additional support and insight into creative practices that foster emotional wellness. Through soundwalks, active listening, and mindfulness exercises, students learn to be present and connected to their surroundings, with guidance from the organization enhancing these experiences. Students will develop basic skills in electronic soundscape composition and, alongside our community partner, co-create a final soundscape project to share as a wellness tool. Beginning week 3, the class schedule will include group trips to our partner organization, during which students will collaborate with youth members to co-create new soundscape compositions. By course end, students will gain composition skills to aid wellbeing.
