Dan Thompson, John Storyk – Architectural, Acoustic, and Audio System Design for the Modern Music Production Studio
This course will prepare you to design and implement a professional-level critical listening, recording, and music production environment for yourself or for the clients with whom you work, using professional tools, standards, and practices. You will evaluate both theoretical and case study examples of acoustical and audio system design and construction, with a focus on programmatic thinking, application of scientific acoustical measurement, architectural and ergonomic planning and design, and both traditional and modern solutions in acoustics and audio. You will complete the necessary steps from conception of idea to the final project: a complete production studio design, including site study, internal and external acoustic design criteria, architectural design, 3D architectural and acoustic modeling, final acoustic design and implementation, and audio monitoring system design.
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Design and confirm the design of the production space, using AutoCAD and AudioTools
- Plan and execute the design of a professional-level critical listening, recording, and music production environment
- Analyze theoretical and case study examples of acoustical and audio system design and construction
- Solve traditional and modern acoustics and audio problems
- Apply scientific acoustical measurement tools
- Apply acoustical data in the design and implementation process
- Apply professional practice standards as applied to the production environment
