The Sound Production certificate teaches the craft and techniques of sound recording. Students will learn the basics of recording hardware and software and will work in a hands-on environment and learn how to operate the equipment used in recording sound.Students are prepared for entry-level positions at recording studios, video production, game audio, sound reinforcement companies, mobile on-site music recording companies, and radio production facilities.
Solano College has not offered any sound recording courses in the past 2 years, so there is no recent data. In the distant past, when these courses were offered the sections were full with a waiting list. We gather there is demand but cannot quantify exactly how many seats until we offer this degree and these classes again.
The goal of the Sound Production certificate is to provide students with a strong foundation in sound recording and production. Students will learn how to analyze and create sound recordings using a variety of technical skills. They will also efficiently demonstrate the techniques and the application of skills needed to set up a recording session for a variety of applications. Graduates of the Sound Production certificate are prepared for entry-level positions at recording studios, video production, game audio, sound reinforcement companies,mobile on-site music recording companies, and radio production facilities.
The Sound Production certificate is designed to be completed in two semesters of study.
