The term “Audio Production” usually evokes images of a recording studio with a band playing their instruments while an audio engineer meticulously captures the sound under the creative direction of a producer. Or perhaps a producer building beats or an entire song using only a laptop and a controller. But what about other areas where audio is the focus, such as when you attend a concert? Multiple audio production professionals must make sure the audience hears the performers accurately and evenly throughout the venue and that the performers hear themselves accurately. Or how about when you watch a movie or TV show? There are audio professionals on set recording the sound and those in post-production editing the sound, creating sound effects, and mixing all the elements to help portray the perception of reality. And don’t forget about broadcasts such as sports. Without the sounds of the game, the sounds of the crowd, the announcers and commentators, and the music as we come from commercial, the experience wouldn’t be the same. If any of these areas are intriguing, our award-winning faculty can help foster your knowledge and understanding of audio production so that, armed with your passion, you will be best prepared to pursue your career dreams.
