The Recording Technology program is recommended for students who wish to pursue a variety of careers utilizing audio production skills. Unlike the AFA in Music Technology, this program does not require the musicianship or general education coursework recommended for transfer to a bachelor’s degree in music, but rather focuses specifically on audio production for the music and film/video industries with opportunities to explore radio and TV production through courses in the college’s Broadcasting program. All AAS Recording Technology students engage in industry internships as part of their coursework.
Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs)
- Use the tools of music production including microphones, signal processors, mixing consoles, sequencers and Digital Audio Workstations to effectively engineer and produce music across a broad range of acoustic and electronic based genres.
