LA EAD
La herramienta de edición contemporánea es la estación de trabajo de audio digital (EAD), un software que almacena y organiza todos los componentes de un proyecto musical. Nos centraremos en las herramientas de edición, esenciales para la producción de música contemporánea, que todas las EAD proveen.

WEEK 5
Filtro y efectos de delay
El sonido grabado puede modificarse usando herramientas que efectúan cambios en la calidad real del sonido. Esta semana veremos la ecualización y el delay, y estudiaremos los diversos efectos de sonido que se derivan de estos dispositivos.
