This is a dynamically illustrated lecture course. It is similar to the course David Musial, the award-winning instructor, created & taught for nearly 20 years to over 1,000 college students in the New York City area, yet updated for today’s technology. Some of his students have gone on to win famous awards in the field. It is an easy, fast-flowing expressive lecture with no quizzes and lots of unique demonstrations. MUSIC TECHNOLOGY is the integration of the art form and utilization of a diverse array of creative hardware and software tools available to musicians, producers, and engineers to help them compose, improvise/create, arrange, orchestrate, and record music. In the early days, one would need to go to a very expensive professional recording studio with properly acoustically tuned performance and control rooms. These are still very important, but today much can be done on a device in your hand or in your home, such as a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop. Many classic legendary sound synthesizers have been emulated, and many new virtual instruments have been created that we can access on these devices. This course gives an overview of acoustics, home or project studio layout, and an overview of all the above to better understand the art form and what’s available to you. David has been using music technology for over 40 years. He earned sponsorships and scholarships to continue to Master Music Technology at the prestigious The Juilliard School of Music & New York University for graduate studies, where he won Instructor-Of-The Year in the field as an adjunct professor. A bachelors degree in Music Technology he created and directed won the title Most Innovative Changing The Industry! He won many awards in his field, including The Most Innovative Changing The Industry! David has worked under the greatest in the industry. His students have earned a Grammy, #1 record chart positions, and dream jobs in the industry. Music Technology was their foundation! This course will give you a fun, informative overview.
