Colorful Noise Audio Production Summer Camp

The Colorful Noise audio production summer camp is an introductory audio engineering and music production course where students develop an understanding of how professional quality music is made. This camp provides techniques and training on how to use industry-standard software and hardware. Various guest speakers share their music industry experience and provide hands-on training tips where applicable. Each daily session allows time for sharing work to simulate real-world networking and collaboration. During the camp's last day, students present their "demo tape" project and retain ownership rights of their creation!
