Learn the basics of sound design using FREE software and FREE sound sources. Students will create and share (if they like) short soundscapes using their new skills. We will spend the first half of class learning the basics of sound design using free software such as QLab and Audacity, and free sound sources such as freesound.org. We will spend the second half of class making and sharing (if you so desire) short soundscapes using our new skills! Participants are welcome to create something new or bring in projects they are already working on and would like to begin exploring through sound. We will make sure to have plenty of time for questions and general sound-related conversation.
