https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlAQ4ZKEHG2Ie0G4vQ2H6R9dwAsWJVfZP The Douglas College Music Technology Diploma (MTD) will provide an in-depth exploration of the new technology that is redefining the way we make music in the 21st century. Students will take a variety of audio engineering courses, covering topics like MIDI, sequencing and synthesis, audio reco

rding, music for film, music scoring, studio setup and maintenance and music ensembles, plus various music electives. We are looking for students who have experience playing or singing (in a school ensemble, for example) and who are musically literate. Although this is not a program for novices. we offer a number of options for upgrading through our Community Music School in any areas that students may lack— so please tell any interested students to feel free to contact us with any questions they may have. If they are not ready to enter the program immediately we also offer a Basic Musicianship program that can provide all the skills they need (when taken with our introductory Music Tech courses). As the MTD is offered within our Douglas College Music Department, we are able to offer access to exceptional facilities, performance opportunities, and a core group of music students to facilitate organizing recording projects and performances. As a public institution we are able to offer a very affordable program (about $4,000 per year) and a proven track record of high quality music instruction. This program is perfect for a student who is interested in music performance, but also wants to explore the technology that is so important in today's music industry.

If you walk into a studio and you see this, that means the engineer is very important and you will therefore have to pay them more money.

Check out those transients!
Final Project Listening & Evaluation session in Studio B.

In the Advanced Audio Recording class, groups of students had to recreate a song of their choice using the different Mic techniques learned throughout the semesters and then mix it as close as possible to the original song. To identify what recording and mixing techniques were used requires attentive listening and experimenting - great exercise to become a better recording engineer, mixing engineer and develop your ear. Collaboration, working as a team and time management are also key components to make these projects a success.

I simply asked @sonamkaloti to play the track that she was working on during class, and the entire zoom class started dancing. It was a Virtual Party. Sonam won the 2021 MIDI Fest (and there was a LOT of competition!!!)

That one time our very own @official4thwall cooked up this little banger in less than 30 minutes during our “Recording and Editing MIDI in Ableton” 2271 class. The vibes were so strong he had the whole zoom class dancing mid-beat.

Being that it is Black History Month, why not celebrate a legend in music, one of the greatest guitar players to ever do it, Jimi Hendrix. Did you know that Jimi Hendrix has roots in Vancouver, BC? His Grandmother (Nora Hendrix) lived in Hogan’s Alley, a vibrant and historic Black neighborhood in Vancouver, that has since been demolished (although many folks are currently working hard to rebuild this neighborhood). Jimi would come to Vancouver and stay with his Grandmother during the Summers of his youth. Either way, Happy Black History Month from MTD. If you have ever played or enjoyed: Rock, R&B, Hip-Hop, EDM, Jazz, Country, Blues, or Gospel; remember these were all art forms that were invented by Black Americans. #blackhistorymonth #blackhistorymonth2021 #vancouverhistory #jimihendrix #jimihendrixvancouver #hogansalley #norahendrix #rockandroll #hiphopculture #ｅｄｍ

1st year students attempting to execute their first analog mix. Mixing using the SSL & outboard gear is a different beats altogether. Although it looked like they may have been a bit lost in this video, by the end their mix sounded great. 🔥🔥🔥 #analoggear #analogmixing #sslmixing #sslconsole #analogcompressor #analogreverb #steviewonder #steviewondersuperstition #analogeq #mixingengineer #studiovibes #mixingandmastering
