Purpose and description of the content of education:
The "Virtual Instruments" module aims to familiarize students with various virtual instruments used in sound production. During the workshops, participants can work hands-on with multiple types of software and tools for sound creation. The focus will be on the technical and creative aspects of using virtual instruments in contemporary music and sound production. Students will experiment with diverse sounds and effects, learning to integrate them into larger audio projects. It will also provide an opportunity to enhance skills in handling advanced plugins and solving challenges related to their implementation. The module aims to develop participants' creativity and technical skills in working with virtual instruments in a digital environment.
