Sound Design

Objectives and outcomes

Students are introduced to the basics of acoustics, manipulation of audio material and the basics of
electroacoustic music. Introduction to the possibilities of running multimedia projects. Upon completion
of the course, students are expected to master various possibilities of creating, making and creating
audio material. They are expected to master the software manipulation of the entire sound image.

Lectures

Sound analysis and its distribution in stereo image. Sound diffusion. Audio material changing techniques.
Different fading techniques. Manipulation of aliquots to obtain sound effects. Formatting through different
editing techniques.

Practical classes

Using software Pro Tools (trimming, separate, consolidate techniques), thin automation,
manipulation of parts of sound material, normalisation and gain techniques, sound duration
manipulations, equalisers, dynamics, transposition, reverberation, delay, modulation, dithering, sound
compression and expansion.
