Additional Information:The module encompasses an introduction to the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of audio & music production and to the equipment used in audio production.
The module will cover both 'live-broadcast' and 'recorded' production.
Students will be required to work both individually and in small groups using equipment to become familiar with its characteristics in a way that also demonstrates safe systems of work.
