Digital Audio Effects

The course provides an introduction to digital audio effect algorithms for interactive applications. Students will learn how to build fundamental digital audio effects from scratch. Equalizers, Delays, Convolution, Modulating Delays, Dynamic Processing, Nonlinear processing will be described. Through these topics, students will learn how to build equalizers, wah-wah filters, filterbanks, BPM Locked Delay, phasers, flangers, chorus, reverb, ring modulators, compressors, limiters, expanders, de-essers, pitch shifters and vocoders from scratch. Final projects will include using new techniques in a composition or interactive performance.
