Anotation:

This course deals with advanced topics related to audio technology in recording studios, namely room acoustics, multichannel signal recording and reproduction, digital audio signal processing, its impact on auditory perception, audio signal optimization from the psychoacoustic point of view. Measuring methods related to these topics are also presented.

Study targets:

Students acquire knowledge on fundamentals and applications of room acoustics and principles of sound signal processing in recording studio practice.

Course outlines:

1. Acoustics of closed spaces
2. Subjective and objective methods of room acoustics evaluation
3. Design in room acoustics
4. Measuring methods in room acoustics
5. Acoustics in small spaces
6. Sound insulation
7. Audio signal discretization. Dithering.
8. Psychoacoustical optimization of acoustic signals
9. Digital signal recording. Recording standards from CD to Blue ray
10. Magnetic analog audio recording
11. Mechanical and optical analog audio recording
