The Audio Recording Technology Institute
focuses on three major disciplines of audio engineering: Music Production,
Sound for Television and Audio Post Production for film. This is referred to
as The Comprehensive Audio Engineering Program.
Each Discipline is inclusive of many
subparts, called modules. The main disciplines and a small sampling of their
modules are listed below.
The Music Engineering Module includes
recording live instruments and voices, mixing recorded tracks and the skills
needed to create a final master for CD, DVD, MP3 type files or sound files for
internet delivery. The emphasis at the audio school then shifts to electronic
music production, including computer based composition and editing, introduction
to, and finally complete understanding of MIDI, including hardware based
operation.
The Sound for Television Module
includes intermediate use of computer based production software, as well as
tactile mixing surfaces to combine for complete post-production
experience. Synchronization (lock to picture) and full audio program
sketches are created solely by students. Utilizing our partnership with the
University of Central Florida, students will have the opportunity to edit
and create sound effects for video games.
The Audio Post Production Module
includes advanced mixing techniques for music and film audio. This module is the
most advanced and therefore most demanding of the student engineer's skills.
Production here utilizes computer based engineering as well as advanced
large-format digital mixing desk to create everything from temp mixes to the
final mix to picture. Students will learn the art of Foley, Sound effects design
and editing, dialogue sweetening and editing, ADR, theme and underscore mixing.
Students work on short films by independent producers and directors, provided
through our partnership with the University of Central Florida's Film Program.
A more detailed explanation of the subjects
taught is included under the "methods" link.
