In the professional field, sound designers, composers and mix engineers develop soundtracks for all types of media. Sound designers work specifically with dialog, sound effects and Foley. Composers, music editors and music supervisors develop legal scores. Mix engineers prepare all three stems (dialog, SFX and music) for a variety of release formats.
  • In the context of a comprehensive art and design university setting, students explore sound for moving pictures, music production and sound art. Sound design students may choose electives in animation, broadcast design and motion graphics, visual effects, interactive design and game development, and other areas.
  • The program models the tools and work flow used in commercial media production.
  • State-of-the-art technologies support all aspects of the curriculum: 10 HD Pro Tools labs, two dedicated surround sound mix/mastering rooms, a MIDI lab complete with a full range of synthesis and sampling technologies, two classrooms each housing 20 Pro Tools LE workstations, a recording studio for music production and Foley, and two suites for dialog recording and editing.
  • Field equipment includes digital field recorders, field microphones and a professionally equipped location sound cart for film production.
