Electrical Acoustic Principles

Although it may seem like a simple process, audio recording is extremely complex and requires in-depth knowledge of sound waves, audio mixing, equipment placement, electrical current flow, and acoustic technology to ensure that you get the perfect sound. To move forward with a successful recording project or set up your own studio, you will have to learn performance techniques and acoustics related specifically to recording within certain spaces. In addition, you must have an in-depth understanding of the technical aspects of electrical transmission of audio signals and the ways that they can be manipulated to produce the sound you want. You can find both analog and digital systems on the market with varying degrees of complexity, and different systems work well for different types of recording.

Sound Technology and Equipment

To ensure that you are capable of using the best equipment for your project, a fundamental understanding of the basics of acoustic and audio technology will go a long way toward helping you create a successful recording. In our Audio Recording courses, you learn how to operate the technology necessary for professional-grade recording from home, professional studios, and live settings. Your instructor will help you trace the source of audio through the system, so you can understand the flow of audio signals and ways to manipulate sound quality through both digital and analog consoles.
