The Music Production Studies sub-major provides students from outside the Music program with a comprehensive introduction to current practice in the fields of music and sound production for sound design, composition and performance. Two foundation level units examine the fundamentals of acoustics, stereo recording and mixing, MIDI systems and sequencing, sound synthesis, and composition utilising environmental sound. Technical concepts are contextualised within a survey of electroacoustic music and sonic arts practice. Having completed the foundation units, students may select any two of the subsequent units which examine studio techniques, new performance technologies, and composition and design for screen media, respectively.
