Access

The most common way to gain access to the music technology labs is by enrolling in a part-time studies course at Evergreen. All work done in the labs must be academic and students must complete a 'proficiency test' before scheduling studio time. Visit www.evergreen.edu for more information about the college in general.

Classes

Inro To Music Tech
During this three quarter class, students become proficient in labs 343 and 344 and produce two pieces of music each quarter. The class begins with studio signal flow and analog tape machines. During fall quarter, students begin studying FM synthesis using the analog synthesizers. After acquiring a base knowledge of the analog devices, the students are introduced to digital audio and MIDI sequencing. During winter quarter students begin to elaborate on their composition skills and learn to edit synth patches with software.

Hybrid Music
This Class offers an advanced look at FM synthesis, MIDI voice/effects processor editing, virtual analog synthesis, digital audio/MIDI sequencing and integrating multiple computer applications for virtual studio scenarios. In Lab 347 students are introduced to different mixing formats such as quadraphonic and dolby 5.1.

Music Computers and MIDI
This intensive summer class is designed to bring new students up to the level of those who have completed Intro to Music Technology. In the five weeks, students gain proficiency and produce two pieces of music by the end of the fifth week. The class is focused on digital audio and MIDI sequencing as well as taking quick looks at other technologies in the Labs.

Another way to gain access to the labs is by becoming a contract student. Read more about this on the Evergreen web site.
