The Spatialisateur is a software package to spatialize sound signals in real-time in the context of musical creation, post production, and concert situations.
Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will acquire the foundations of the perception of space and different spatialization techniques. They will be able to construct their own spatialization modules in Max and control them in real-time or off line via different writing methods. Participants will master the bases of Spatialisateur
Public
Composers, musicians, sound engineers, teachers, etc.
Prerequisites
Participants must be able to attest to sufficient knowledge and skills in Max and its environment: completion of the basic Max tutorials (Basic tutorials 1-22, Data tutorials 1-5, MIDI tutorials 1-5, and MSP tutorials 1-18 of Max) or have successfully completed the course Max Initiation;
Participants must have good knowledge of technical English vocabulary used in usual audio software.
Mastery of an audio sequencer is also recommended: Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, etc.
Assessment
Assessment of acquired knowledge using a multiple-choice test (30 minutes) taken at the end of training
A certificate at the end of the program is given to each participant with the results of the exam.
