Computers are wonderfully powerful devices. They have become indispensable in modern digital music production. However, getting the most out of them requires more than general computer skills like cut and paste. In this course, students learn about the internal workings of the computer and how to interface it with other audio software and external equipment. We discuss different types of storage media and compare them in demonstrations of digital audio production. Students learn about industry-standard audio applications and start working with them on individual computer workstations.
