Программа обучения Audio Design

Учебный план программы обучения "Audio Design"

In the first semester you will immerse yourself in the world of Audio Design. You will learn basic techniques of audio engineering, miking and recording. You'll also learn about the physics of acoustics and you'll be introduced to common DAW systems (Logic, Pro Tools, Ableton Live). In your first practical projects, you will learn how to dramaturgically build up your own pieces, to implement them compositionally and technically and to change their effect through sound design. In addition to a first excursion into popular music history, you will receive piano lessons to improve your routine on the instrument for your own compositional work.

In the second semester you will deepen your knowledge of music theory and practice. In the Sound Studies module you will analyse sound design, musical concepts and pieces and receive an introduction to scientific work. You will learn the basics of digital signal processing and apply your knowledge in first sound synthesis procedures. In the second semester you will also carry out a practical project (e.g. with students of the B.A. Visual and Interactive Media).

In the third semester you will develop your own compositions and analyse current works. You will deal with the basics of music production and get to know the everyday studio life of an audio designer, design software-based musical instruments and interfaces. The Media Law module also teaches copyright law, trademark law and licensing.

In the fourth semester you will learn the basics of arranging and hone your compositional skills. Also on the timetable: mastering, audio mixing and post-production in the studio.

In the fifth semester, you can take an internship at home or abroad or study abroad. The scope corresponds to a student workload of 750 hours each and is credited with 30 CP.

In the sixth semester you decide on a project from the fields of music technology & art, music production, sound design or composition and thus choose your individual focus. Your focus project will be carried out in cooperation with the degree programs B.A. Visual and Interactive Media and B.A. Creative Industries Management. You will learn to develop instruments and interfaces and dive into production techniques for 3D audio mixes and multi-channel systems. Building on this, you will consolidate your knowledge in a self-chosen module from the field of sound: music technology or sound design. Accompanying guest lectures and field trips will give you important stimuli from the industry and the opportunity to learn from the experiences of others.

Again, you choose a focus project, but now you carry it out independently as an individual project. A further specialization in the areas of game audio, film music & dramaturgy is possible. In addition, you will pass on your knowledge to younger semesters: in self-led basic courses you will train your didactic and pedagogical skills. At the end of the semester you will write your bachelor thesis.
