Berlin - Music and Sound in the Digital Age
The Berlin - Music and Sound in the Digital Age course at Freie Universität Berlin will explore the relationship between aesthetic trends and technological developments with the focus on the cultural and economic conditions in Berlin.
Sound Production UAL Level 2
This Sound Production UAL Level 2 course at Edinburgh College gives you a well-respected, internationally recognised UAL Level 2 Diploma in Music Performance and Production, with a focus on Sound Production.
Principles of Acoustics
In the Principles of Acoustics module at the University of Salford, you will get a core grounding in acoustics, that will form the foundation of your knowledge and support your learning in other taught modules or further study.
Measurement, Analysis and Assessment
The Measurement, Analysis and Assessment module at the University of Salford aims to equip you with the necessary knowledge to specify and undertake appropriate acoustic measurements, including understanding their limitations, and being able to analyse the data you produce.
Vibro and Aero Acoustics
In this Vibro and Aero Acoustics module at the University of Salford, you will gain an in-depth understanding of vibro- and aero-acoustics, and the noise generation and transfer paths and mechanisms they include.
Immersive Sound Reproduction
In the Immersive Sound Reproduction module at the University of Salford, you will develop an understanding of transducer systems for the capture and reproduction of 3D sound.
The Technology of Music Production
Each lesson of this The Technology of Music Production course offered by Coursera in partnership with Berklee will demonstrate a different set of music production tools, loosely following along the music production process of recording, editing, and mixing.
Loudspeakers and Microphones
During the Loudspeakers and Microphones module at the University of Salford, you will examine the practical application of loudspeaker and microphone systems, and investigate how they are used in arrays e.g. for spatial audio applications.
Psychoacoustics and Human Response
The Psychoacoustics and Human Response course at the University of Salford will allow you to study in depth how the human auditory system works.
Research Methods
In this Research Methods module at the University of Salford, you will devise, design and document a small-scale research project.
Environmental Noise
In the Environmental Noise module at the University of Salford, you will learn about environmental noise measurement, modelling, and mitigation.
Creative Sound Engineering
Have you ever wanted to improve your recording, mixing and mastering skills? Are you finding that your productions are lacking that professional edge? The Creative Sound Engineering course at Edinburgh College can help you take your work to the next level.
Architectural and Building Acoustics
The Architectural and Building Acoustics module at the University of Salford introduces you to how sound behaves in enclosed spaces and the core principles that shape acoustic design.
Sound Design in Visual Media
This Sound Design in Visual Media course at Nottingham Trent University offers an accessible introduction to the core principles of audio for games and visual storytelling, exploring how sound shapes mood, emotion, and the senses.
Immersive Sound Reproduction
In the Immersive Sound Reproduction module at the University of Salford, you will develop understanding of the use of transducer systems for the capture and reproduction of 3D sound.
Computer Simulation for Acoustics
In the Computer Simulation for Acoustics module at the University of Salford, you will learn the fundamental principles of computer simulation techniques: geometric room acoustics, finite element method, and boundary element method using COMSOL and related software packages.
Creative Media Production and Technology
If you have an interest in media, this Creative Media Production and Technology course at Edinburgh College will offer you the opportunity to explore, develop and practise your creative skills on a range of different media projects.
Fundamentals of Noise and Vibration
This Fundamentals of Noise and Vibration course at IDC Technologies aims at giving the student a fundamental understanding of the complexity of human response to sound vibration terminologies, vibration monitoring methods and unbalance machinery faults.
Building Acoustics and Community Noise
The Building Acoustics and Community Noise course offered by KTH Royal Institute of Technology aims at the students to have knowledge of building acoustics, its causes and consequences, as well as the ability to implement basic planning with regard to noise issues in construction projects.
Spatial Audio
In the Spatial Audio module at the University of Salford you will develop a systematic understanding of spatial audio systems, human perception of sound and research methods used to evaluate spatial audio.
