I. BASIC RECORDING THEORY
This is a basic lecture class designed for the novice, but also beneficial to the audio engineer with work experience in the field wishing to advance their technical background.

II. BASIC RECORDING WORKSHOP
This studio workshop is "hands-on" in the recording arts school. Students will work with professional recording equipment in this beginning workshop before proceeding to more advanced techniques in the intermediate and advanced labs.

III. DIGITAL MASTERING
The Digital Mastering course of study covers theory and procedures relating to digital technology and digital mastering. Students will learn about the process that occurs after the mixdown to stereo two tracks, to produce CDs and DAT's. Understanding digital mastering gives the student a wider range of knowledge in the recording process. The first portion of this subject is theory/lecture, taught in the classroom, followed by a "hands-on" studio time at the audio school.

IV. DIGITAL MASTERING WORKSHOP

V. RECORDING STUDIO MAINTENANCE I
The Maintenance course focuses on electronics as it pertains to sound equipment used in the recording engineer career. This theory portion of the subject starts at the basics of electronics and proceeds to electronic formulas, circuitry, and components.

VI. RECORDING STUDIO MAINTENANCE II
In this lecture section, the emphasis is on the test equipment used to evaluate circuits, the analysis of amplifier integrity, and signal equipment in the recording chain use by recording engineers.

VII. RECORDING STUDIO MAINTENANCE WORKSHOP
In this workshop, students work with soldering sets in a "hands-on" audio engineer program.

VIII. SYNCHRONIZATION I - THEORY
Synchronization refers to the procedures and technologies used to make two mechanically unrelated playback mediums work as one. Synchronization enables the expansion from 24 -Tracks to 48 -Tracks and more. In addition, studios that were used for music recording only, are able to synchronize audio to video and film for music, scoring, sound effects, narration and much more. This relatively new technology has greatly expanded the boundaries of recording engineering and is gone over in detail at the recording school. This theory section covers the background and related theory concerning synchronization for audio recording and audio production.

IX. SYNCHRONIZATION II - WORKSHOP
In this hands-on recording workshop, students will experience different types of resolvers and time code converters currently used in the motion picture, video, and music recording industries. Various principles learned in the Synchronization I theory class will be applied in this "hands-on" workshop.

X. SYNCHRONIZATION III - THEORY
In this advanced Synchronization theory section, students will learn the principles and procedures of programming automated special effects used in today's Motion Picture and Television Industry, in tandem with Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI). Students will apply various principles and procedures learned in the theory portion of this subject in audio school lab.

XI. SYNCHRONIZATION IV - WORKSHOP
Students will perform various procedures discussed in the preceding Synchronization III Theory. In this "hands-on" recording workshop section, students will operate SMPTE to MIDI converters in conjunction with computer software interfaces to support the programming of automated synchronization.

XII. INTERMEIDATE RECORDING THEORY
This theory section covers the principles of recording techniques and console operation which relate to outboard equipment for special effects used in music recording.

XIII. INTERMEDIATE RECORDING THEORY
This workshop consists of "hands-on" experience in the recording studio. Students will apply the principles and procedures for console operation, various special effects, and more.

XIV. ADVANCED RECORDING THEORY
This theory section discusses technologies in computer automation as it pertains to the recording engineer career. The procedures for computer based automation will be presented.

XVI. AUDIO/VIDEO POST PRODUCTION THEORY
Audio/Video Post Production refers to the process of recording and/or mixing the audio portion of a movie or video program, according to the National Television Standard Code (NTSC). In the theory portion of the Audio/Video Post Production course, students will learn procedures for film and video post production. The steps for "project learning" techniques are presented to prepare for implementation in the Audio/Video Post Production Workshop at the Los Angeles recording school.

XVI. AUDIO/VIDEO POST PRODUCTION WORKSHOP
In this "hands-on" recording workshop, "project learning" techniques are utilized to allow the student to implement the procedures and techniques taught in the theory class. In this recording workshop, students will perform post production techniques on video projects that are in the final production stages.
