SRT - Sound Recording Technology

A non-technical introduction to recording technology. Students will learn established recording techniques, how to make good audition tapes, the possibilities of digital editing, how to purchase the right equipment, and other recording essentials.

Applied instruction in basic audio techniques. Includes studio instruction in the use of microphones, loudspeakers, tape recorders. Taken concurrently with SRT 250-251. Open to majors only.

Provides maximum hands-on experience in recording studio installation and maintenance. Students will learn to analyze signal flow and troubleshoot equipment with passive (resistors, capacitors, inductors) and active components (transistors and op-amps). Transmission lines are discussed by evaluating principles and standards of connectors and cabling for audio and video. Further emphasis is placed on the phenomenon of noise in audio/video circuits and transmission lines: evaluating and measuring noise in individual components and systems, and minimizing or eliminating noise through the principles of grounding, shielding and filtering. Students will learn soldering and wiring techniques as well as a variety of audio measurement procedures.
