This unit establishes foundational knowledge of the principles of sound, acoustics, auditory perception and a range of technical terms related to audio. Throughout this unit, you will undertake three projects:
"Visualising Sound" - Audio Analysis (due week 4)
"SPL Observations" - dB Diary (due week 8)
"Acoustic Treatment" - Fix a Room on a Budget (due week 12)
During classes, you are tasked with developing your vocabulary relating to sound. This is important in all aspects of audio practice and essential for your other units.
Each week involves a 3-hour class, plus 6 hours of personal study outside of class (9 hours per week). Your Learning Journal should evidence the 9 hours per week study.
