TA 312 Intermediate Recording Engineering Techniques

Credit, three hours.
TA 312 expands upon the basic principles taught in TA 311 and introduces the core concepts and techniques students need to competently operate a Pro Tools system running mid-sized sessions.

Students will learn to build sessions designed for commercial purposes and improve the results of their recording, editing, and mixing efforts. The hands-on exercises throughout the course provide students with experience setting up sessions, importing media, working with digital video, spotting sound effects, using loop recording and MIDI Merge techniques, working with virtual instruments, warping with Elastic Audio, applying Real-Time Properties, creating clip loops, applying signal processing, using automation, and using submixes and track groups to simplify a final mix.

Together with TA 311 this course provides the training required to prepare for the Avid Certified User: Pro Tools certification exam. Prerequisite(s): TA 311 Corequisite(s): TA 312L
