Explore our Audio Technology Program!
While lots of trainees pertain to the audio program to make beats for modern-day music, they are frequently surprised at the huge range of profession choices in the field. As a sound technician, it's your obligation to assemble, run and keep the technical devices used to tape-record, amplify, improve, blend or replicate noise. You'll recognize the sound requirements for a given task or circumstance and perform the appropriate actions to produce this noise. Sound service technicians are needed in a range of industries including: advertising, audio recordings, broadcasting (radio or television), film, and live performance (theatre, music, dance). So, while making beats is taught and motivated, this program concentrates on many other skills that will enable you to earn a living in the market of your picking.
While for lots of audio tasks, a degree is not required, the following topics WILL increase your opportunities of success: acoustics and music, audio engineering and production, media production, music theory, a history of the music company and popular music, running live noise for concerts/churches and a knowledge of sound outlining for theatre productions. At MCC, you can earn this real-world experience AND a degree. While this degree is transferrable to four-year schools, previous students who have transferred find it to be a lackluster experience compared to the quality of equipment and direction offered at MCC. In reality, a number of our trainees find employment before they finish.
