ECTS credits: 2
Purpose and description of the content of education:
The "Recording of Acoustic Instruments, Voice and Choir" module focuses on teaching sound recording techniques using acoustic instruments, the human voice, and choir. The tutorial-based course will provide participants with insights into the processes of recording sound in various acoustic environments. Students will work with different tools and technologies necessary for capturing high-quality audio material during the course. The module introduces microphone techniques, instrument placement, and the optimization of recording spaces. Participants will also learn to manage recordings with multiple sound sources, such as acoustic instruments and choirs. The course aims to develop practical and theoretical skills for working in a professional recording environment. The classes will require students to engage in independent work involving analysis and evaluation of recordings.
