Form of verification: course work
ECTS credits: 2
Purpose and description of the content of education:
The "Real-time audio" module aims to introduce students to real-time audio processing technologies and techniques essential in various digital creativity fields. Using modern technology and software, participants will work with advanced tools for analyzing, synthesizing, and manipulating sound. The course covers both the theoretical foundations of audio processing and the practical application of audio tools in interactive contexts. Students will explore different methods of synchronizing sound with visuals and learn how to optimize audio processes in real-time. The classes will take the form of tutorials, allowing students to develop skills in practice actively. The course also provides essential competencies for working in industries where real-time audio processing is crucial, such as music production, VR technology, or interactive art installations.
