UNIT DESCRIPTION

A1DT4 is the second industry level Digital Technology unit for the BMus, and is mandatory for all Audio and Composition & Music Production students. Students interpret and analyse a variety of production briefs to achieve professional-level outcomes. Each brief is supported by technical production workshops, providing guidance and tutorial support. Students will need to work in multiple DAW environments, thereby enhancing workflow skills and digital resource management to solve complex technical issues. There is a high level of signal processing and synthesis work to encourage creativity. The project briefs vary in complexity, time restraints and creativity level to simulate the real world environment. Students are also required to evaluate the effectiveness of their work methods and the overall quality of the result.
