Worship Arts: Recording Arts
It is the intent of the Fine Arts Department that, upon completion of the Recording Arts program, the student will exemplify a complete understanding of acoustics and audio signal flow. Students shall gain the practical applications of audio mixing and mastering techniques through the use of digital and analog technologies. Students will have a complete understanding of the recording studio business. Students will have participated in real world live audio and recording sessions of all styles and genres resulting in a well-rounded audio resume reflecting the student’s sonic integrity and recording and live engineering skills.
