Inhalte | The course will cover the fundamental elements of acoustics as it relates to hearing in the natural world, and how it is implemented to create a sense of presence in recorded audio. There will be short historical survey starting with the Victor/electrical-era and the Edisonian technological divergence in the 1930, where the standard form of recording presence was introduced. The course will also cover classic recording audio formats (Mono, Stereo and Multi-Channel) and how each format has intrinsic properties and artefacts that effect the sense of presence in the output diversely. Another point of examination is the intrinsic qualities and deficiencies found in Analog vs Digital recording platforms as it relates to the topic. There will be a practical portion that involves exercises in sound generation and recording that are relevant to the subjects discussed in the course and can be extended, or appropriated into one’s own practice.
